Presence in life

A rule YHC learned early was to listen more than talk. In every interaction with the Carpex PAX I’m inspired. Today was another one of those times to soak in what others have to share. Go Time 0530 Jog to the Parking Garage and up the steps to the top floor SSH x 25 (IC) Windmill x 15 (IC) Merkins x 10 (IC) Mountain Climbers x 20 (IC) Merkins x 10 (IC) Peter Parkers x 20 Parker Peters x 20 Thang One: Do to our limited numbers and the plan to have mostly partner work YHC called an audible and we Moseyed to the covered porch.

Rock the park (F3 style) Pre-blast

I’ve wanted to try to a music themed workout for a while now and figured that FWD would be the perfect spot to break it out. Toyed with a few concepts including just going with good music, but decided to work a little harder and try to tie the exercises with the songs. I don’t want to give away the tunes, but the following decades are represented 60s – one song 70’s – four 80’s – three 90’s – one [Read More]

covfefe

Monday night, the un-word “covfefe” was introduced to the world. “What does it mean?” asked the world. Spicey says he knows what it means. OK, Sean, whatever you say bruh. Well, 16 top gun flight commanders cracked the code here at Danger Zone. As 13 of us stretched and exchanged pleasantries, 0545 struck. 3 more PAX came tires a’squealin into the parking lot about that time. Sorry boys, we start on time here in CarPex. [Read More]

Good Enough

YHC garnered an early spot on the BH Q sign up just hours after the Red Carpet event and still had to wait till today. Despite homestead proximity, YHC was nevertheless reduced to recon mode looking for those undiscovered nuggets of pain. As the Q, YHC is not a fan of the typical and ordinary but rather that ever exclusive diamond in the rough [though some may see it more as a hidden but disturbed rattler that, well, should be left undisturbed].

Mutual Birthday Q - Can you smell what the ROCK is cookin'

Eagerly anticipating my VQ, I awoke at 4am and couldn’t go back to sleep. Birthday VQ, co-Q with Ma Bell, our illustrious Nan Tan. Rolled in to Bond Park about 15 minutes early to setup cones for the workout in the parking lot; realizing I could just of used the parking lots lines instead. Live and learn. Already waiting for mumblechatter regarding what the cones were for. Got my rocks set up and placed a record sized Weinke under said rocks. [Read More]

Sometimes you have to get a little dirty...

…at Dante’s Peak. After stepping outside about 5:15 a.m. this morning, YHC realized that he lucked out with good temps and dry conditions for his VQ day. However, it turned out that it wouldn’t stop the PAX from needing that towel in the trunk for their drive home. 23 PAX were ready to roll this morning - no FNGs and everyone on time, so we were off. Warm-up Quick jog to the basketball courts, by way of the hill. [Read More]

Burpee Beat Down at Tortoises

Disco Duck said it best, “It wouldn’t be tortoises if we weren’t doing burpees.” Five came out for a burpee beat down at Tortoises. Warmed up with side straddle hop, good mornings, windmills, merkins, mountain climbers, plank jacks. Jogged over to “the hill” where we started the burpee 11’s. Sumo squats on one end, burpees on the other. Then, some WWII’s and flutters. Next, we grabbed the cores for sets of curls, overhead press, rock rows, and merkins intermixed with lunges while we traversed the length of the parking lot. [Read More]

YOBOGOYA

YHC gathered with an unremarkable group of non-pax. Sadly, YHC had to complete alone. So YHC was off to the public library with a couple stops on the way. At the side of the track side of the Municipal Building parking lot, high knees to the end, 10 merkins, return with butt kickers, 10 merkins, Frankenstein’s to the end, 10 merkins, alternating Karaoke down and back, 10 merkins at each end.
