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…

After a brisk jog around the bus circle, at the foot of Mount Chaplain, a surprise awaited — a stash of pavers hidden behind a bush, courtesy of DTH, who apparently moonlights as the Easter Bunny of concrete. From that moment on, the stones became our best friends. They got lifted, rolled, dragged, pressed, and cursed at. If you were here, you carried rocks. If you weren’t here, your shoulders thank you. Warmerama: side straddle hops, don quixotes, Ukrainian soldiers, imperial walkers. lbcs, merkins, roscoe’s mom, Fudds wife, Wilson’s wife The Thang: COP 1: DORA- partner one Bernie’s up the…

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,…
7 HIM’s showed up to Satan’s Hill expecting 45 minutes of Jazzercise. Nancy ended up going OOT so YHC stepped in to lead the boys! Purple Rain was apparently talking some mess about YHC’s boot camps so a BRUTAL plan was in place. However, he wasn’t able to make it out today so the PAX was in luck. WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the top of the hill and back. Gave the mission, stretched (w/ Jazzercise included) and got into it. COP #1 – 4 Corners, LOTN-style and (3) Burpees at each stop Corner #1 – Top of Satan’s Hill Corner…

9 grown-boys showed up to Timberwolf this morning for some HR Derby. Here’s what went down… WARMARAMA – Took a lap through the parking lot in the front of the school. It has been a MINUTE since we showed that side any love. Circled up, gave the mission and stretched out. After YHC drove the truck around trying to find an ideal spot, Flyboy spotted a corner of the tennis courts that would prove to be a mini Fenway with a high wall in left field. The Thang – HR Derby (10) swings for Round 1 and (5) swings for…
