    YHC and his crew of 2.0s arrived at the AO with time to spare, to see Emoji waiting for us in the parking lot. The flag was planted and the rest of the PAX came rolling in shortly after. YHC’s younger 2.0s have stated that they want jto Q for their birthday. So the COP was given over to them to count cadence and call the exercises, they look ready, and the PAX should expect something interesting in May.

    Welcome to Koala (Drop Bear). She arrived with a look of determination and stayed with The Carpenter the whole time refusing to not finish with the rest of the PAX. Hope to see you back out soon.

    Quick note. Yardsale is trying to gather volunteers for what sounds like the sketchiest game of bingo in the state. An i think that something about having to do it for Community Service was mentioned.

    Good work was done by all

    As always, it was an honor to lead.

    No Idea took us out

    NMS

    YHC rolled up the AO at 5:20 to an empty parking lot. At 5:25 he planted the SF, looked at the still empty lot, and got back in the truck to wait. At 5:30 YHC got ready to Q for a PAX of one and was getting started when Helix and Opus rolled up. Mumblechatter centered around third arms, electric socks, and exorcise clarification.

    No Idea and Seismic rolled in around 6:00. Is the 2.0 considered LIFO if they are reliant on the 1.0 to get them to the AO. The PAX then watched in amazement as No Idea started his car to get the heat running, got in and we did not see him get out until the 6 caught up.

    As always it was an honor to lead

     

     

     

     

  • There and Back Again

    A PAX of two showed up to greet the returning cold and get in some running. We ran out for a while and then ran back. It was good to get back out on the trails and even better when No Idea noticed that the Low Bridge Tree had been removed, significantly lowering the chance that YHC would not get a concussion from running into a face high fallen tree. We did around 3 miles this morning.

    Emoji took us out

    NMS

    YHC was running late this morning, and in his hurry to get to the AO glove-less. Fortunately  Emoji is still operating his black market glove stand from the trunk of his car. The color of the gloves lead to several Michael Jackson comments, which the PAX immediately let go of and did not bring back up at every chance they could.

    Emoji and Spit crushed this workout. It was good to see Spit graduate to a higher weight. YHC will not name any names, but a few of the others could do to move up.

    As always it was an honor to lead you men

    See you in the Gloom

     

  • Puddle Jumping

    5 men gathered to test out the water proffing on their shoes. Phonics and Spit ran 5 miles, No Idea and YHC ran 3. Chum Buckets ran some of both and there is no idea (see what I did there) how many he got in. It was good seeing everyone this morning.

    Thanks for letting me lead

    Honeydo is taking the lead on helping out the men of The Healing Place as they train for the Monument 10K.  See him for details.

    NMS

    YHC and Chewy rolled up at 5:25 to see that Pick 2 was already there waiting.  The rest of the PAX rolled up with about a time to spare. There was some confusion about the number of LBCs in each round , once that got fixed things went smoothly. Mumblechatter was lite this morning, not sure if that was do to counting or exertion. Im saying exertion.

    Good work Men, thanks for letting me lead

    Pick 2 Took us out

    NMS

    YHC had two workouts for the PAX to choice from, after the groans and complaints we go to work. It was good to have Pick2 and Yard Sale out today. Pick 2 arrived without a KB, but with a yell of “Don”t count me as LIFO” Spit went home to get one for him. It was a good morning to move some iron around with some friends.

    Thanks for letting me lead

  • There are things out here

    A PAX of one reported this morning for a cold run. 3.5 miles were done with a large dog sighting that almost initiated a mid run pants change requirement.

    See you all in the gloom

    It has been awhile since YHC had visited the Circus, so when Phonics asked if anyone wanted to go it seemed like a good time to revisit. When he saw that the Q was still open it seemed wrong not to take it. No Idea was hard sell, but once the promise of how much crap YHC would have to listen to when he got there he was in. YHC had not even fully left the truck before it started and it did not stop until he got back in it. I missed you guys too.

    Nothing makes YHC happier than when his planned beat down cuts the mumble chatter right off, it makes him feel like he is doing his job and some of this crew can talk through a lot.

    Something happened with a dog that sounded like a woman, best not to dwell on that to much.

    I am sure that I left something out

    Thanks for letting me lead
