3 regulars, a summer tourist, and a local tourist (YHC) showed up at River Run with no Q on the sheet so I grabbed the reins and called the OG. Wedding Singer knew exactly what to do and led Bullseye up the hills of Tarrington. Doozy hung with EF and I for the baseball talk but sped up on his own when conversation switched to 2.0s swimming. The hills were rough, the air was thick, and the pace was slow but all finished and are better for it at the end of the day.
The Thang:YHC rolled in right on time at 0530 to find Salt Lick and an FNG ready to roll. With just the three of us and no set Q, we decided to go with a hot potato. Salt Lick started things off strong by retrieving a multi-sided dice loaded with exercises—like the Wheel of Misfortune, but more unpredictable. We moseyed to the Tuckahoe Shopping Center, where the dice got rolling. Literally. Each roll brought something new: karaoke’s, bear crawls, crawl bears, slow moseys—and the crowd favorite (or least favorite?)—broad jump burpees, which Salt Lick apparently willed into existence with a…
Some Q confusion resulted in the great 8 doing a hot potato this morning. I started with a bus loop lap and warmups of SSH, Copperhead Squats, Ukrainian Solders, DQ, IW, LBCs, Heals to Heaven and Merkins. Then we moseyed to the back, bear crawled up the hill and did some four corners. Ran to corner one for 25 HRM, ran back to home. Ran to corner one, bear crawled to corner two for 25 squats, reversed traveling method home. Ran to corner one, bear crawled to two, bernied to three and did 50 LBCS, reversed traveling methods home. Ran…

Q sheet was open as of Sunday so YHC grabbed it but wondered what to do. Relive Iron Pax? Boberry just dropped that hammer. EMOMs? No doing that Wednesday. What about….redoing Blacktops Q!? Haven’t done that in a minute! YHC texted Blacktop and he was excited and said he’d join, so that’s what we did! Today was the definition of muggy but we got after it. Run down and around the corner then circle up for mission and warmups. Then run to Matlock house. Two teams, each team runs to next intersection and does 5 WW2. Run back and do…

A healthy six pack of dedicated runners sauntered forth in the sweltering humidity to take on the latest revelations made available during Sunday Funday. Conditions remained sunny and 70. According to the Jeffrey Epstein files not yet released, the following might have happened: North Bank, Belle Isle, some did the Belle Isle loop, all did Buttermilk. Anthrax did all of most of this, albeit backwards and likely at least twice. Gecko also did some pre-game and post-game running OHO. Numbers-ish, names-ish, and we done. NMS: Condolences continue to roll in for Sally, Offshore’s dog, on her untimely and unexpected passing…for…
After yesterday’s CSAUP over at v Satan’s Hill(where my heart rate for that workout I averaged 143bpm), I did not want to lead. I had the previous week I was willing to do the COP, but it was time to see can I call on someone and real quick come up with something. They did not disappoint, 10 mercanaries in training came out on another Saturday in which the sun hot a certain spot, the humidity cranked up i started it with a little COP(SSHs, Don Quixote, Helicopters, imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBCs) after we finished, I turned it over to…
