Knowing that today was going to be hot one 13 HIMS showed up early to Tortoises to get their workout in the most palatable part of the day. Having not Q’d in a few weeks I felt like some back work was in order. But then again YHC always feels like some back work is in order. But is wasn’t all work, we danced a little bit to some AC/DC. With that said… here we go. [Read More]

Merkins and Mary, what more do you need?

Empty spaces in the Q sheets hurt my soul…and aggravate my CDO (we’ll see how many of you get that one). Must. Sign. Up. Thanks, Hot Spot. At least it makes Q shopping easier. “Oh look, I’m the Q, I guess I should go there”. Enough rambling, here’s what we did on a gorgeous May Day morning as the first of two full moons set (Werewolf plug). The Warm-up (Beaker’s Beginnings) [Read More]

"Rage against the dying of the light..."

 Posted on May 1, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  329 words  |  

Note: Since I just got access to Wordpress, this is a catch-up Backblast from February… Seven PAX showed up in the warm gloom to practice raging against the dying of the light through the SVG parking lot. No FNGS, so straight into warmup of Good Mornings, Side Straddle hops, Double Cotton Pickers (at Crimson’s request) and Imperial Walkers. Amid the MumbleChatter, the PAX moseyed to the hill nearby for the first Thang. [Read More]

Lewis (and Kirk)

 Posted on May 1, 2018  |  1 minutes  |  149 words  |  

It’s a beautiful day in downtown Cary, and YHC plants the flag, armed with a workout plan that might involve the pain sticks. But as the the clock ticks 5:45 YHC realizes this will be a solo adventure, so the original plan gets shelved for a later date and today’s workout becomes an exploratory run. With the longer days we have parts of the area available to us that we couldn’t use in the darkness of winter. [Read More]

Miles and Miles at Wolverine (but no Angry Elf)

On this day, when Hello Kitty was looking for a distance record at Kryptonite, YHC decided to take the PAX for a jog around the gloomiest of gloomy AOs in CARPEx. Luckily, it was a full moon dispelling much of the gloom. Alas, no one wore a smartwatch that I could tell [EDIT: YHC notes that Jigglypuff had his (obviously uncalibrated) Strava going. You can enjoy it here]. And thankfully my neighbor slept in meaning we were a perfectly even 8. [Read More]

Welcome To Wakanda

 Posted on May 1, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  262 words  |  

10 PAX showed up on 4/25 in the beautiful plains and hills of Wakanda (i.e. the SVG parking lot) for some fun. No FNGS. Mosey to the coupon shed for a Warm of Cotton Pickers, Fazio Arm Thingees, Reverse Fazio Arm Thingees, Merkins, and Imperial Walkers. The PAX grabbed the coupon blocks and moseyed over to start the first Thang, assisted by Brown Bag, who arrived late, so 10 enhancement burpess all around. [Read More]

Have you met Dora's twin sister? (she's a lil' cray cray)

As always, I am impressed with the PAX. There is always little humming and hawing at the begin of a workout, but no matter what you throw at them, they always finish strong. And most often, with time to spare. So you better have some extra work for them so they can get their fill. Warm Up The gates were locked so we ran from the street into the 1st parking lot on the left, did a quick lap and circled up for SSH, Steve Earle, Goofball, Bobby Hurley, Good Morning (Because you can’t…you know the rest) [Read More]

Meow Miles at Krypto

 Posted on April 30, 2018  |  1 minutes  |  207 words  |  

YHC logged onto Google street view to check the logistics for the Regency loop before Q’ing Krypto for the first time (don’t worry, I’ve posted here more than twice). A solid group of 11 Pax arrived in the Gloom, some “complaining” that the 42 degrees needed to be a touch warmer. Don’t fret, my pet, we’ll warm up. No disclaimer, and we’re off onto the Regency Loop which included: Warm ups in the first lot (quick feet sorta stuff… high tempo) And then we just ran and stopped along the way for stuff including merkins, squats, planks, dips, etc. [Read More]
