Date : 02/27/18 QIC Fluoride The Pax: Hermes, Ollie, Cheddar Bo, Smokey, Jigglypuff, Tofu, Freebird, Netscape, Fluoride Showed up at FWD with shovel flag in hand and time to plant it. Its a crisp morning, but thank God the rain has passed and we have a clear sky above. Someone pointed out the space station which passes directly overhead right at 5:45 to kick off our workout this morning. With temps in the 40’s 9 eager Pax are ready to get moving to stay warm so we head to the circle in front of the park to warm up. [Read More]

Hello Kitty graciously allowed me to grab this Q for my 45th birthday celebration. Site-Q Biner mentioned the greenways hadn’t been explored much so that setup our prime directive – destination White Oak Park west along the White Oak greenway. Park is only about 1 mile away with a lighted shelter, basketball and tennis courts. There is a playground along the way for the neighborhood tucked back in there so we stopped and did some work.

Taking my breath away...

On the 4th day, Breathtaker and I decided to Q Flying Circus. Its been on my TO-DO list for awhile. Forecast? Copious amounts of rain. Head for cover? Heck no… Roll up on the AO with five minutes to spare. Not one around… uh-oh. Luckily Biner keeps a spare shovel flag in his SUV as no site Qs were present. Though I did get a drunken text from 1AM SkyBlue apologizing that he was “working” late. [Read More]

Field trip day at Carpex’s premier Friday AO in the 27513 zip code. Little chitty-chat among the PAX to start, “Holy shnikies it’s windy. Is that a tail wind, Coney?” A quick disclaimer to FNG Nick and we’re headed out of the park and on the road towards the Veterans’ Memorial, because YHC has a half a Mary coming up and needs some miles before a LONG run manana w/ @mabellcarpex.

March Madness

Apparently it’s March already. February, you always cheat me out of 2-3 days. So time to get those NCAA pools going. But before that starts, let’s celebrate in the rainy gloom at Hunter Street Park. PERFECT weather. Warm Up JigglyPuff posts the flag, and we start with the Pledge of Allegiance. Mosey to a suitable parking lot for some warm up. Along the way we get in some butt-kickers, high knees, and side shuffles. [Read More]

Wake up to yet another Rainy morning in Cary, seriously!!!! I have signed up for yet another Q in the rain, but thank God there is a parking deck close to the AO where we can exit the downpour. Check the Radar before heading out, yes the rain is here for the duration of our upcoming beat down.

This mofo is JACKED UP and ready to work out after a 2 1/2 week hiatus. So buckle up, we’re gonna make like a bunch of gym rats and knock out a whole week’s worth of pump in 35 minutes. [Read More]

Woke up not expecting 46° after all the previous warm weather. Although, it was a beautiful morning to work the body, mind, and spirit. YHC/QIC did not write down what the workout regimen was going to be but he did have an idea that he contemplated over several days leading up to his Q… the goal was to put the HIMs to the test and to keep everyone as a group (so to speak).

We drag the bell’s into the shelter and distribute them around the different benches (or is it pain stations). [Read More]
