From Purple Crayon: I made the grave error of signing up for the Chicago Marathon this year, so I will not be doing the Mud Run this time, but April was my sixth running of the Marine Corps Mud Run, the fifth on this course. I’ve done road races and other obstacle races, but the …
16 pax ventured into the gloom at #Thunder knowing full well that we were short on QIC volunteers for the day. In a pinch we borrowed the 300 Workout from Swamp Fox. Not to worry Chaser, YHC promises your workout was well received and will be returned in even better condition than it was …
19 men showed up expecting rain but were pleasantly surprised by dry ground (in most places) and a cool breeze. A less pleasant surprise was that Splinter had the Q and an even less pleasant surprise was that a workout that began slowly escalated quickly until it just kinda got outta hand really. Conditions: 67 …

Eleven amblers set out in the dark of the early morning to fulfill a need that they didn’t know they had. What was the need? It was a need for speed. And the only way to satisfy that need is the Golden Cleats Track Meet. Nowhere else can you partake in the continuous baton passing, …

An additional 19 runners continued their Governor’s …
Conditions: 75° and 90 to 100% humidity (rain) 11 faithful posted at Swagger to show their mettle in some speed/interval work at the track. The radar was clear but when the words “let’s go” were uttered, the rain began. Fortunately the rain only lasted for our warm up jaunt to the track and then remained …
For a rare afternoon beatdown, 6 pax and a 2.0 gathered for a hybrid workout at Harbison State Forest to inaugurate a new trail based downPAINment. While the approximate distance had been shared, the pain stations interspersed along the rugged route were concocted without dissemination of either their placement or contents. All the pax knew was …
Conditions: 64 degrees 88% humidity 26 Pax showed up in the gloom for a downPAINment. What they didn’t expect was a Hit & Run workout brought by Crash that left them looking for chalk outlines, police tape and CSI. The thang: Run from parking lot to baseball outfield COP – 4 count in cadence SSH x …
