Our scheduled QIC couldn’t make it Fri AM so YHC volunteered to take the lead about 30 minutes before bootcamp. YHC has some experience Qing so it didn’t take long to come up with a plan. It was pretty foggy so we stayed on campus for safety reasons. Thank you to Rock Drop & Dunphy …
CAT joined The Hollow today for Turkeyvergence Thursday. We decided to have a late start (6:00) and join forces since attendance can be a little lower because of Thanksgiving. 1 for RuckLite, 9 for BootCamp while 2 ran. YHC was looking forward to eating Lizard’s Thicket with a certain pax, but we’ll save that for …
YHC tried some new technology this morning with both a Spotify playlist and a workout timer. Initial apprehension about it “working” was immediately relieved when it functioned properly upon pressing “Play”. YHC has also been known to complain about 90’s rock that seems to dominate Arena workouts, so this was another opportunity to introduce the …
Environmental readings: 62 degrees, 83% humidity, low UV index, moon is in the waxing gibbous phase, and an unhealthy air quality (per the Weather Channel). Executive summary: overall a pleasant morning to post. 11 PAX (including 1 FNG) post this Thanksgiving morning looking to get a little better before eating a lot of turkey. But before we …
YHC agreed to take the Q with the promise of something fun. 5 other PAX (well, 4 PAX and one 2.0 that likely didn’t have a choice) decided to join YHC to find out what that meant. After a disclaimer that would make Dredd proud, we moseyed to the top of the back hill for instructions …
Good ch..ch…chilly morning Smokehouse! YHC was pumped to have an FNG in the GLOOOOOM! Welcome Blue Hose. I think we may have all had blue hoses this morning, especially if you were commando in shorts feeling the draft like an abandoned farmhouse.

It has been several months since my last Q so it was good to get back out to lead again. Because I am lazy in my preparation, I went back to my tried and true circuit workout. See what happened below Conditions: 39 degrees and windy. Working out in a breezeway did not help. The …
Oh yeah, feels good to be back leading the TP men in the gloom. It had been just over a year since YHC had last Q’d an in person workout. (Thanks, Booster, for the nudge.) Heck, for the most part YHC has been out of the gloom for quite some time with a newborn, sleepless …
Weather Conditions: 38° 9 Pax took a huge gamble waking up before the sun and venturing out into the cold this morning, and were greatly rewarded for their efforts. All were treated to a modified game of Craps which featured a select few exercises and lot of mumble chatter. If we only measured success through …

Proud to be a part of #the Herd. Nice turnout at Jumanji this morn. Work was …
YHC has had a tough time getting motivated lately. Lots of excuses have made it that much tougher to climb out of the hole I’ve gotten myself into with my level of fitness. It seems like week after week I’ve been saying this is the week I turn it around. Said it again this morning. …

YHC had a less than stellar Q this week, so he was ready and anxious to redeem himself. Not sure that this one did the trick, but it seemed somewhat better, so we will call it a “redemption” nonetheless. We had another small turn out today, but some good fellowship with some fine men …
We celebrated the 2-Year Anniversary of Urban Legend this AM. We hated AOQ Argyle had to miss for personal reasons but the show must go on. This workout was specifically designed to hurt Cheers’ but, alas, he was a no-show. YHC wanted to hear the mumblechatter he promised. This was a complete OYO/AMRAP friendly to …
10 PAX posted for Treadmill’s first Q in a while. Heck it was his first post in a while. Stomach issues. More on that in a min. A deal is a deal, so YHC (Booster) will write the backblast for today on behalf of Treadmill. Some of the events listed below may or may not …

We were without our fearless leader today, but somehow we managed to have a WO worthy of YHC’s “standards” anyway. Lots of complaining, er, mumble chatter was heard today, but what is a Cheers Q without it? YHC thought his kids were with him from all the crying for most of the morning. They say …

Perfect running weather this AM as we ran 6.35 miles uphill. Lumbergh said it was outrageous. Strava’s elevation gain calculator tells YHC it wasn’t that bad. Uneven sidewalk claimed another victim this AM. Impressive roll out of it, Nameless Pax. Jam and Eggo ran their weekly Hump Day Half…now, that’s outrageous. Below is the damage: …

Great time to be in the gloom today. YHC hates to miss the 10k today, but he has to get ready for his daughter’s birthday party. One of these days she will run it with me. Glad to have Soaker out today. It was inevitable that we would have a low turnout with the 10k …

It had been a while since YHC had signed up on the Q sheet and wouldn’t you know it, the forecast called for 90% chance of rain – however we were spared the moisture and stayed dry throughout-other than some heavy humidity and perspiration.

Some good mumble chatter from the group this morning. A solid group of 13 PAX met for a stationary heavy workout. YHC was entertained as we worked through the COP and watched as the PAX slowly realized we were not moving any time soon. 1 PAX even opted to get gloves halfway through COP (Circle …

13 of Surge’s beasts of the gloom took to it today for a tabata torture beatdown.

When the Q was opened for Friday morning’s festivities, the opportunity was seized to put the Froccer disc on the shelf and go back to the older glory that is Ultimate. Lines were already drawn, cones were set, and YHC’s idea to use a Booster-style team selection process failed spectacularly and resulted in five minutes of …
Today’s weinke turned into a tribute to 7-Eleven for some reason. YHC started planning things out. Decided some “elevens” would be good. That turned into doing 7 rounds. That turned into, well, this being a 7-Eleven workout. This would be more appropriate on July 11th (7/11). But, since tomorrow is November 7th (11/7), we went …
