Sorry for a late backblast but I wanted to piggy-back off the original title. Here is the B.B. for the limited run/walk extravaganza breakaway led by YHC while the other 20 HIMs head out with @Hello Kitty after the warm-ups. Kitty was right. YHC led the mosey (limited run) back to the starting point to pick up some coupons (kettle bells) that @EarharT left behind for us … thanks EarharT for the suggestion earlier in the week. [Read More]

YHC had the flag and the Q for Rush Hour but did not anticipate how bad Raleigh traffic is at 5:00. I roll-in to the AO 5 minutes late, AFTER A 50 MINUTE commute. Needless to say, I was steamed and frustrated to be late. Lucky for me, only PAX that posted was Captain Kirk. Since it was just the two of us lucky souls on a beautiful afternoon in DTC, I convinced the Captain to step up and lead the work-out.

How not to make friends, by FNG Cataracts (that's plural)

The day before my Q at Hell’s Bells I asked the site Qs if running was discouraged. Neither Monkey Nut or Earhart responded, so I naturally assumed that meant running was a great idea. It’s not. I was instantly berated with a verbal assault from the first step. However, sticking to my plan, the later runs actually became a nice break from the punishing kettle bell workout we were experiencing. Crimson even thanked me for running and volunteered to run more if that meant he didn’t have to pick up his KB again. [Read More]
