3 warriors of the gloom sought to better themselves today. According to the female runner who took Shorts Only Posting to a whole new level, this is what transpired: YHC went solo for a pre-run through the exceptionally quiet neighborhood across the street. Made it back just before 5:30 to meet the PAX, then we were off! Run from school to take a right on John Rolfe. Turn left onto the trail for Short Pump Park. At small round-about do various warmerama exercises around the circle: Butt KickersHigh-knees CariocaUkrainian SoldiersImperial WalkersToes in walkToes out walk Mosey to the lot across…

Three Titans gathered on a crisp clear morning to see what would be in store prior to the holidays. Thang Run to Einstein’s parking lot. Triple check: WWIIs and squats. Run to Short pump Park. Triple check LBC’s and swing crunches. Run to West broad village East parking deck. Triple check Freddie Mercury’s and decline merkins or shoulder taps. 3.25 miles. 1.25 pre run. BTTF. Probation took us out. NMS After a quick warm up and gear check we got on the way. Quiet clear morning with frost on the ground. Not too many people around until we got over…

E ala ‘oeE ala ‘oe!! e holo ana nā kānaka There is a best practice that YHC and a few friends came up with many moons back with regard to shopping for the Holidays.  Its call Sh-rinking… yes the name could us a lot of work … but it the concept was perfect at the time. (no way I could pull this off today)You gather up 3 or 4 other buddies that are seriously procrastinating (like me with this back blast) doing the holiday shopping; with one set as the driver but he has his dinner covered by the crew.…

    WTH Perspectives 4 rose out of the fartsack to endure a 3 mile run plus bootcamp with insights, thanks, and sharing to start our thanksgiving season. It went something like this: Mosey to big flag where we opened with an Imperial lunge talk about . Later renamed to Russian lunges. It was a Russian soldier with a lunge around the flag while each pax shared insights, perspectives and thanksgiving. This got the burn going in spirit and in legs. We then did Merkins in cadence to start the 3 mile run. Next we ran half a mile into the Village…

Cold clear winter mornings make the stars stand out, and this morning they were enhanced by the last straggling meteors of the Leonids. Since WaThoHuk is a run focused bootcamp (minimum of three miles) YHC decided to combine laps around the track with exercises emphasizing running form and injury prevention. These included: side straddle hops, copperhead squats, superman planks, side planks with leg lifts, lying leg lifts and kick backs, standing leg lifts and deadlifts, and merkins. During the laps we also included carioca, bounding, and skipping. Distance covered was 3.2 miles YHC led us out.

Writing late night backblasts is not fun.. But I’m just not a write-the-backblast-the-same-day kinda guy. So here we go.. the INAUGURATION of WaThoHuk fell the day after the election of 2020. Too many must have stayed up late the night before watching returns and learning who our next president would be absolutely nothing about the outcome. 2 of us arrived for the 15 min. pre-run. Lap around the West Broad Village lake and back to the flag. picked up 2 more and Gypsy led us off:Warm up30 side straddle hops20 imperial squat walkers Track work.400M AYG followed by 200M recovery…
