7 HIMs broke the sound barrier today. Crabby was hitting the snooze button but eventually made it out to meet us. According to the woman who flicked us off, here’s what happened… Met at stop sign and had an FNG join us! 6 originally but Crabby texted us so we made a rendezvous point down by the reservoir. Met up and swung by Toby’s house but he wasn’t there, so we went down past the gas station and doubled back. Today’s conversation: scary/horror movies, the Zeissometer, Rudy’s Timberwolf record, work travel tips and tricks, swim lessons, and Brazilian meats in…

Got a text from the Q this morning saying he wasn’t feeling well. Honestly, I hadn’t planned on showing up. But then I got another message from Beaver saying there was a chance an FNG might show up. That felt like a sign. So I laced up my shoes, stepped out the door, and committed. Here’s how it went down…..

Today is the 81st anniversary of D-Day. Of the 16.4 million who served in WWII, it’s estimated less than 60,000 are alive to tell the story. Truly an end of an era, so today we paid homage. 10 HIMs came out today wearing a ruck or weighted vest. They were met with a choice of coupons to carry as well, each member carrying 60-70 pounds for the entire workout. BLIMPS style workout up and down Satans Hill to honor the five beaches stormed: Utah, Juno, Gold, Sword, and Omaha. we merged Sword and Omaha together for time, but 9 times…

After joking with BigRig and Boberry that nine 60-second hill repeats seemed wimpy, YHC convinced 2 of the 3 runners to do a hill test of our own. Bullseye, Greenbow and YHC hit the block for a warmup and converged at the bottom of Mt. Midlo. After four 90-second Mt Midlo repeats, we were spent! We then hit the block for a cool down where Doozy passed us, blasting some late-90’s boy band jams, working his way toward 6+. We gathered at the (non-existent) flag to close out. Thanks for the push, gents – it was good to rev the…
