Almost Merlot’d My Own Q

They always say “Only Q what you can do” and we certainly pushed that to the limit this morning.  YHC has been slightly under the weather lately and pushed it to the limit this morning, taking the drive home rather slowly after feeling some merlot brewing. Nonetheless, the boys of TP did not let me down. …

I’M BACK!

Finally YHC gets to Q at Hammer.  It’s probably been four months, but that just left more time to think up dastardly ways to inflict pain on the PAX.  Billy Bob grabbed YHC before the workout and said we had an FNG, not sure if that meant to water down the workout or make it …

20 pax showed up in the gloom for some running, hills and a full body workout.  We did this workout over a month ago so I don’t remember all of the details.  However, I’m sure there was excessive mumble chatter and straight up complaining about the short runs throughout the entire 45 minutes.

Prototypical WO at Depot

On Wednesday night, Coppertone advised that an FNG would likely be posting in the AM.  Not having drawn up my “routine” (as my M calls it), I decided to go the prototypical/classic workout route for Depot.
