  • Where you at New Market?

    It was a cool 72 degrees on Satan’s Hill which brought out some PAX cold weather gear. YHC posed the question If you wear it now what are you going to do when it gets cold?

  • I’m Dying!!

    Apparently Doozy had one of those moments (like the commercial) where his computer was dying with no cord, hence the reason YHC is typing this beat down. At 530 the air was warm with a bit of dew on the surfaces when Doozy yelled “Mosey” and off we went. The runners departed for the coffee house at about the same time.

    COP- various warm-ups of varying difficulty were done at moderate levels of correctness by the PAX.

    The thang: Run to the bottom of the hill. Triple check with Runner to top of hill, Merkins, and that one where you are upside down on the wall.

    Mosey to back of parking lot: Lot crawls with bear/merkins then lunges squats add 2 each one.

    Mosey to front of school for another triple check. Runner to the flag pole with incline merkins, and dips. Mosey around the school the long ways stopping to perform 5 burpees at each corner. And there are about 10 corners. BTF and I almost passed out.

    Doozy took us out in prayer.

    Great Q Doozy. Way to push it PAX. Be awesome today!

  • How did we miss the 2 in front doing COP!

    The clock struck a minute past 5:30 and YHC and his trusty companion Wilson were coming in hot to Timberwolf. So hot in fact we missed the 2 member PAX in the front lot. YHC and Wilson circled around back of the building where we were reunited with Boberry and Vagabond. It was Wilsons idea to circle the back (I think he wanted to walk a bit, HAHA).
