8 Pax posted in the gloom at #Stumble and #GotFaster. The weather was brutal, just brutal, but the Pax rose, 6 Pax at 0445 for #StumbleXL then we dropped one and added two, for 7 Pax at 0515 for #Stumble. In preparing for the morning, YHC reached out to our distinguished AOQ, Beacon, who suggested we do …

Back at the 5-year anniversary Ultra-Convergence in Charlotte, something Dredd said at the end stuck with me. I’m paraphrasing this quote but it’s fairly close: “Some guy out there needs this. Some guy out there is wondering what the heck his life is all about. Some guy out there is being a lousy Dad. Some …
Today was the Woodshed’s monthly PT test. The PT test is a series of exercises that, when done on a regular interval, can help the PAX see how getting up in the early mornings and not fartsacking is increasing their individual health, stamina, etc. The prize for the winner, of course, is the right to …

Holy Poker jumped out into the gloom this a.m. with slippers on, so YHC had a feeling he wasn’t up for our tradition of a XL Hump Day Stumble. Bronchitis got the best of him but still showed up and announced his route as the day’s Q. Impressive! He called for the Rockwood Loop, and …

Hard to say what was stronger today, the mumble-chatter or the effort put forth by the Pax. But in the end 11 strong braved the 2nd incarnation of Leg-o-rama with good spirits and all teeth intact (after Big Boy Box Jumps). YHC took the opportunity to debut a few exercises (or re-named exercises) that were …
YHC expected it to be colder this morning than it was. Such is the trick your mind plays on you when the cell phones connection to whatever thermometer is out there tells you it’s snow weather. Expecting a chill I planned my arrival to #SwampFox with only a minute or so to spare peeling in behind …
