  • Bro-Code Friday

    Despite the heat and humidity, eight showed up for some Friday morning miles. Being the last Friday of the month, we stuck to our usual Bro-Code route, doing our best to stay together as a group. True to form, we still managed to lose Handshake—who had to cut it short—but the spirit of the code lived on! Great effort by all. Keep pushing forward!

  • Eagles Hills

    Eight showed up on a warm Friday morning ready to take on the Glen Eagles hill and its many cul-de-sacs. Why? Because running uphill is super good for you—don’t just take my word for it, check this out: NYT article. We logged about five miles (give or take), enjoyed the effort, and appreciated the company. Great way to start the day—strong work, gents!

  • Hot and Humid

    Seven showed up on a hot and humid morning for a mix of bootcamp and running. We set off on a cul-de-sac tour, stopping along the way. After a warm-up, we started with 20 two-count Pickle Pounders and 20 two-count LBCs at each stop. After about five rounds, we switched things up with 20 Merkins and 20 two-count LBCs. The heat and humidity did us no favors, but everyone pushed through. Big shoutout to Professor X for digging deep—strong work, brother!

  • It was 70 and sunny

    Eight regulars and one FNG showed up on a warm Saturday morning. It was 70°F at the start and sunny by the end—close enough to call it the elusive 70 and sunny, just not at the same time. After a warm-up, we hit the football field for a cumulative Beast. We started with Hand-Release Merkins and added a new exercise each round: LBCs, Jump Squats, Crab Cakes, Heels-to-Heavens, and finally, Burpees. Six rounds, six stops, six reps per stop. Beastly effort all around. Welcome to our FNG (Stirrup from now on)—glad to have you out there grinding with us. Great work, everyone!

  • Eagles Hill

    Six showed up on a crisp Friday morning for a mix of running and walking. Half the group took on the hills and cul-de-sacs of Glen Eagles Dr., logging about 4.5 miles. The rest enjoyed a solid 3-mile walk at a brisk pace. Spirits were high all around.

    Thanks to everyone who made it out—and as always, apologies for the delayed backblast!

  • Spring Loops at Goose Lake

    Seven showed up on a beautiful spring morning, ready to put in some work. After a quick warm-up, we ran to Goose Lake and did loops around the water. At the end of each loop, we did 20 Dips, 20 Heels to Heaven, and 20 Jump Squats. Rinse and repeat. By the end, we covered about 3.5 miles. Strong effort all around—great job, fellas!

  • WTH Milestone Morning

    A record-breaking (possibly all-time high) nine posted this morning for a mix of running and bootcamp. Big shoutout to Fudd for making his WTH debut! We ran toward the end of Three Chopt Road, near the retirement community (about a mile and change away). Once there, we knocked out a warm-up before diving into two Triple Checks: LBCs, American Hammers, and a run; Heels to Heaven, Squats, and a run. After that, the faster PAX cranked out 20 burpees while the slower group made their way back to the flag—balancing the clock. Awesome turnout!

  • Short Pump Park

    Eight chose the gloom over the warmth of an extra hour in bed. We split into groups based on speed, soreness, and levels of sickness and took off toward Short Pump Park. A straight shot—up and down—making it hard to get lost (but no guarantees). Mileage ranged from 4 to 4.5, depending on pace and how much you trust your GPS. Solid effort all around! Appreciate everyone showing up, and for those recovering—heal up and get back out there soon!

  • Warm cul de sacs

    It was a welcome change in the weather, about 20 degrees warmer than Monday, and seven of us showed up eager to make the most of it. We kicked things off by moseying to the first cul-de-sac to get warmed up. From there, we ran our usual series of cul-de-sacs, stopping at each one to perform 20 Merkins and 40 LBCs. All told, we covered about 3.5 miles, with the warmer temperatures providing a nice boost to our spirits.

    A few announcements were shared afterward. Pigskin is organizing the usual lunch on the second Tuesday of the month. Gypsy inviting people on March 22 to his farm promising a solid opportunity for some good fellowship and fun. We closed out in the Circle of Trust by offering words of encouragement and lifting up our intentions for the day and the week ahead. Great work from everyone; it’s always better together.

  • Cul-de-sacs at 21

    On a crisp, dark morning with the temperature at a brisk 21°F, four dedicated PAX gathered for a mix of running and bootcamp. The workout featured cul-de-sacs, where we hit each stop with 15 Hand Release Merkins and 25 Crunchy Frogs. By the end of the workout, we had covered 3.5 miles.

    A special shoutout to Mr. Rogers, who joined us fresh off the beaches of Hawaii, where the weather was a balmy 80°F. Adjusting to our chilly conditions isn’t easy, but he crushed it nonetheless. Great work, everyone!
