For the third year in a row, YHC’s disorganization and lack of social promotion led to yet another successful homegrown half, 10K, and 5K! Feedback from the PAX identified that the route last year kept everyone wanting more hills, so we brought back the OG double hill climbs and it was a big hit for all the half marathoners. There was lots of mumble chatter along the way, but also a lot of camaraderie and shared disdain for the sudden resurgence of heat and humidity. At 6am, we kicked off to a true 70 and sunny, and the temp kept…

A handsome 20-PAX including M’s and 2.0’s (and 3 dogs) took on this year’s Homegrown 5K Ruck. As always with rucking, wonderful conversation abounded, and as always with kids, the Dad’s ended up carrying their rucks at variable intervals. BUT, except for the two youngest tots, all the big kids made it the full 5K without needing to be carried. TClaps to Broadway and daughter “GI Jane” getting in some extra distance repeatedly circling back for the Six, and thanks to our Tarrington natives Steamer and M “SoCo” guiding our way through the hood. Those Tarrington hills are no joke,…

It’s weird when other people are at the park before us doing what we presume to be workouts, but then again they were probably wondering why we were there so early as well. Then we get a creepy car driving around the lot very slowly and suspiciously enough for us to grab our KB’s and high tail it out of there since the workout had ended. Weird morning at PFP. Anyway, this is what the strangers witnessed as 2 Rise & Grinders emerged from the gloom for some broga/kbs. Mosey around the football field trail. A solid 10 mins of…

Back to the speed work on The Graveyard Shift today! YHC hit the Swift Creek Middle track for some half mile repeats. After 1 mile warm up, goal was 725ish pace for each rep, followed by 90s rest. We were pretty successful, and got 6 reps in! Good to get out there and catch up with Big Rig while trying to get a bit faster. Trying to be ready for the Homegrown Half! Prayers for Big Rig as he has a family member going through some health issues.

last weeks edition of The Graveyard Shift called for some hill repeats. 3 PAX answered the call and hit Mt Midlo to try and get a bit better. We got in 7 reps total. 3 on the bottom half, 2 on the top half, and 2 reps of the whole enchilada. At one point a PAX who shall remain nameless, released some excess gas and shot off the rest of the way like a rocked!

The trio showed up ready to roll again this morning, keeping the momentum alive and the grind going strong. YHC came with a wild ab burner he’d been itching to test out.
