Posted on September 8, 2018 | 2 minutes | 390 words |

YHC/QIC called a Bruisers workout for Phoenix yesterday to see if there was any interest. @Disco Duck HC, so it was on. DD mentioned he had KBs we could use. I could not turn it down so I rallied my brain cells to think up something to do with the KBs. We had to make good use of them. I decided we can become close friends with our KB buddy all the while enjoying the blissful views of Bond Park. [Read More]

YHC woke up not so bright but very early this fine morning at 4:24a, a good 30 minutes before my alarm. I took that as a sign to give Insomnia EC run a try. I was a bit intimidated by the 9 min/mile pace but was shocked to complete the 4.0 miles in 36 minutes flat. A record to try to improve on next time. After the run I met up with Disco Duck and Pulley for a bruiser side workout at SNS. [Read More]

29 giants of the gridiron took to the pristine fields of Mills Park to usher in the 2018 NFL Regular Season. Under cover of darkness, half the crew shed their shirts to reveal chiseled abs, bulging biceps, and tantalizing tattoos. Ma Bell couldn’t get his shirt off fast enough, prompting YHC’s favorite quote of the morning…“He paid too much for that to keep his shirt on.” But let’s get down to business so YHC can focus on BRR mental preparations.
