  • Farmhouse loop

    4 runners and and 1 Rucker enjoy high 30’s this clear Tuesday morning

    Runners headed to King Charter with YHC/Mailsack completing the farmhouse loop pushing close to 4.5 miles.

    Mr Holland/Opus ran to the entrance of Kings Charter and back on a 4 on/1 off run for 4.25 miles.

    Yardsale our lone Rucker today walk the campus and we meant him for the end

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Dude Wipes vs Huggies

    3 Amigos did some extra credit on the playground at Ecoff Elementary. The usual pull ups, dips, jerkins, and I think I saw Posh doing some calf raises?

    Many important topics of conversation. Left me wondering… What’s the difference between a Dude Wipe, and a baby wipe?

  • No sleep for the wicked!

    2 very enthusiastic men showed up this morning to knock out a 3 mile ruck. YHC moaned and wined about not sleeping again. Beaver is in recovery mode for a little bit. Our sons are driving us a little crazy but we’ll survive!

    YHC was in a rush to cut out to take the kids to school.

    Don’t waste the day!
    OUT

  • Look at That Shadow

    7 kettlebell warriors emerged in the morning moonlight to throw some weight around.

    Introductions of an OG Aisle 5 and we were off. Short mosey and back. In honor of OGs, jazzercise, DMH, SSH, Ukrainian soldiers. A quick KB complex and we walked to the parking lot corner.

    4 corners, not lady of the night style, was supposed to be a stacked build up but YHC forgot to stack. Corner 1: 15 curls, lunge twists to the next corner. Corner 2: 15 LBC, rifle or farmers carry. Corner 3: Complex kb swing, goblet squat to a squat thruster, that was 1 of 15. Lunge twist to next. Corner 4: Q took pity on knees and brought knee padding for the PAX for kneeling wood choppers, 15 per side.

    We worked our way back from corner 4-1 this time stacking at each corner.

    Had enough time for 2/3s of a triple check, where Hermie was checking his hanging bell shadow. Timer carried bell while others did high pulls and flutter kicks.

    Time called. Numbers, names, PR, COT.

    Prayers for Dumars father on his continued recovery.

    Always a pleasure leading you gents!

  • Substitute Q

    0500 YHC’s alarm goes off, feeling exhausted YHC was on the verge of turning the alarm off and fartsacking when YHC heard his M stirring. YHC knew his alarm had woken her up and if he did not get up she would be heavily annoyed. YHC quietly walked down the stairs and went to turn off his alarm and there was a text from the Q saying he had to bail. YHC was glad he didn’t fartsack or HBR would be Q-less. YHC couldn’t imagine the Pax without a leader to keep in check. YHC would rise to the occasion.

    0530 struck and we’re off, running in a abnormal direction. YHC could hear one Pax member comment that they hadn’t been there in a little bit and everything had seemed to change. We saw the lights of Roger Roger’s truck so we looped back but apparently we will still out of sight so he didn’t see us. Lighthouse volunteered to get him but with a hefty head start Roger Roger ran around the entire school before Lighthouse could catchup. Now that we had the entire Pax we were a perfect 9.

    Various exercises, a Triple Chora. Various versions of Merkins/Squats/WWI’s and II’s. Fun was had by all.

    Announcements – 2nd Lunch at Joeys Hot Dogs at Innsbrook at noon today.

    Prayer Requests – unspoken but many known

    NMS – it’s good to have Roger Roger back.

  • Hill Repeats or Not

    YHC didn’t realize there was a Q as Doozy had declared hill repeats via text message, sorry Chaplain. YHC decided to toss out a route that summited Twin Team twice but not repeatedly beat ourselves into submission. Chaplain took the 2.0 on a flatter run. YHC took OC out around the Brigstock hood, and Doozy, Boberry and Bullseye repeated Twin Team in different manners.

    Good to have our buddy Bullseye back out as he recovers from surgery.

    Carry on my PAX friends.

  • Clocking in at the country club

    At 05:30, on this “darker again” morning, YHC was in the process of trying to remember the exact format of the SCCC style Tabata so he could Q himself through a beatdown.
