Fresh of the P200, many Stumblers (YHC not included) are in the process of slowly shaking out the relay race legs. Hump Day normally calls for extended mileage; however, YHC felt a shorter, slower Q was on tap for today. The Conditions: Perfect–60 ish The Thang: Oldie but Goodie…the Chimney Hill O & B to …
20 PAX arose out of the sack on a chilly Friday morning with two goals in mind 1) get some 3 F’s in and 2) hurry up to #coffeeteria. You see Friday’s are the glue here at #Stumble. In YHC’s opinion, it’s what keeps the PAX coming back even after 2 plus years of running …
15 PAX sprung out of the sack this morning in search of YHC and Skirt at the helm. Workout details were being finalized in the last minutes approaching 0530. With two Stumble PAX leading the workout, the PAX had a feeling some running may be involved. What followed did not disappoint. Simple but effective was the …
6 PAX shook out the cobwebs from a late Panthers game in search of getting better. This being YHC’s 3rd Q in 7 days, it was time to mix things up and venture into unchartered territory. YHC quickly learned this was easier said than done as the neighborhood has been well covered by Stumble PAX. …
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 …
8 Stumble PAX ditched the sack on MLK Day to get better. As AOQ, YHC has noted the PAX tendency to come out of the gates hot nearly every day. The goal today was to focus on being more disciplined in our pace with negative splits in mind. The Conditions: 34 degrees and clear The Thang: …
8 PAX posted for a Monday session of speed work with a couple of trips down Macon where 4 cul-de-sacs have historically provided limitless opportunities for Stumble and Woodshed work. Speed work is challenging, but no one said getting better was easy. Stumble PAX embrace the challenge. The harder the workout, the larger the numbers. Aye! The Conditions: Cold …
YHC and Gypsy drug 13 PAX out of the sack for a Saturday morning at the Shed. Solid numbers for a shed Saturday. Attendance credit goes to the guest Q, Gypsy, as most of these PAX have the pleasure (or not) of seeing YHC often. Tclaps to Gypsy, who takes a solid dose of the #DRP every …
Cobains for the delay in posting. To kick things off on the right foot in 2016, 5 PAX posted for a delayed 0700 #Stumble start. YHC planned an easy conversational 4 miler yet there was chatter that even that may have been a little too ambitious following a ringing in of the New Year. Perhaps …
12 PAX left the comfort of the sack this morning for work. When a Stumbler is a the helm of a boot camp, there’s got to be running. The goal was a full body workout, to stay moving and to stay together. YHC believes the PAX accomplished all three. The workout was simple (some say …
Conditions: Mild temp in the 60’s, damp with some fog. The Thang: For our super-size Wednesday, we devised a route that by-in-large kept us in familiar territory. Incorporating sections of three or four standard routes, we began at Meadowfield, proceeded to Old Woodlands and took Garners Ferry around the VA to Byron. On Byron, …
As 0515 quickly approached, YHC thought he may be the only #Stumble PAX swallowing the DRP this cool morning….that is until Ziffel came in on his usual two wheels. With Ziffel’s wife and kids still out of town for the Holidays, he had a perfect recipe to stay in the sack. Accountability rose him up …
#Stumble PAX have spoken and requested a slightly longer mid-week run in an effort to get out of the 4-5 mile comfort zone. Plus, the #Stumble pace has improved significantly over the past year, allowing for additional mileage within the allotted time. As Q, and AOQ, YHC had the pleasure of kicking off this new …
Conditions: Cool and clear, app. 55 degrees The Thang: The pax of Stumble had much to celebrate. The first run for Beacon our new AO Q, the return of Holy Poker from Caribbean adventures, Skirt’s assault of Dollywood, and tales from those that had navigated various forms of CSAUP (Ray Tanner run, MudRun) over the …
With the Mud Rud and Ray Tanner 12K the following day, YHC decided to call a Friday taper run. 7 PAX defied the sack and made their way to the AO to find near perfect gloomy weather, and were treated to an on-site coffeteria (courtesy of Serena) following an easy 3 miles down Rockwood and …
Despite the Seattle like weather conditions, 10 PAX defied the temptations of the fartsack and crawled their way to the #Stumble AO. YHC’s first #Stumble route nearly 1 year ago was the Chimney Hill out n back, and has grown to become one of YHC’s favorites. A nice downhill stretch to get things started, capped …
Just less than a week removed from the Blue Ridge Relay, PAX may find themselves working their way back into a comfortable weekly routine. As we strive to improve ourselves at each opportunity, what better way to remedy the tendency to drift back towards your comfort zone than to mark your calendar for the next …
Still recovering from the Hee Haw Half on Saturday, hill day was skipped by Stumble on Monday. Given that YHC has the honor of leading the Stumble BRR team, hill day was bound to find it’s way back into this week’s schedule. So, 10 PAX crawled out into the gloomy darkenss at 0515 for some …
12 PAX rolled out of the sack for a hump day run. #Stumble numbers are picking up as we are consistently hitting a double digit PAX count three times a week. YHC is honored to be a part of this growing AO. Pipeline pulled a 5K race out of the hat for his Q on Monday, a spot typically …
YHC called for a 0430 start to bump the LSD up another 10% and hooked 4 other dedicated souls to come join him in a pre-run as we continue prep for the Little Mtn Half Maraton and BRR challenges in the coming months. 3 PAX rolled out of the sack to join in on the fun for …
8 PAX crawled into the humid gloom eager to take on a new route Monday. YHC pivoted and chose to assemble the PAX at Starbucks/Woodhill Mall for a little different climb as most PAX continue their preperation for the BRR. Conditions: 150% humidity The Thang: From Starbucks, L Garners Ferry, L Woodhill Circle, L Garners …
