The SAUPIEST of the CSAUPs: Table Rock Ultra Marathon The Fluff (Skip to Bottom for the Details) EH friends, they say. Give it away, they say. Well, I did that. Brought a “friend” out to a typical Thunder workout, had a great time. Then, some time after COT… Paperboy says to my FNG, “You guys …

6 PAX sweat it out at The Bull this a.m. It was a small, yet All Star cast of F3 Columbia royalty including 2 AOQ’s, a 1st FQ, a 2nd FQ, a Nantan and a Robber… and a flag, a lonely, lonely flag. Conditions: 40 Degrees The Thang: #TheBull – Gather at the corner of Blossom …

YHC had been looking forward to this Q date, very thankful for the AOQ reminder, a double-booking almost led to a q-less workout. Preparing for this year’s TRU50K has taught YHC about the character we can hone through the suffering that endurance training brings… and this one, brought a little more suffering than intended. Here’s …
Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying, “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” So much emphasis has been put on reading things and following instruction that YHC thought it might be a good idea to focus on some of things we really shouldn’t do. It’s difficult to find …
6 PAX took a nice leisurely stroll around Legion… and since we were in the crab walk position holding hands wasn’t an option, but we did get plenty of 2nd F and stargazing, I think there was a mention of a satellite spotting at one point, on this beautiful day that God made. Conditions: 30 …
Feeling fresh and fast and set to Q on a Fast-Friday YHC felt obligated to call the 7 PAX to the #Stumble5K … as half the field listed off their injuries, the CR didn’t seem likely and overall times suffered along with the aches and bruises, but work was done despite the pain. Conditions: Wet, …
9 PAX shook off hill week to take a stab at the straight and narrow Rockwood Loop… at COT we found a 10th, Kenny G that apparently lapped us a couple of times for a 10 miler (apparently YHC was so impressed he counted Kenny G 3x in his notes). Conditions: Colder than I had …
11 PAX grabbed the #DRP and washed it down with an #Extra15 at #Legion this morning for a #Legion assault on Hampton Hill.

17 PAX resisted the comforting aroma of their fartsack and chose to #GetBetter with YHC at the #Woodshed! Big THANK YOU to Pondo for putting YHC on the schedule and drawing YHC back across the Ferry for his Boot Camp VQ … the memory of merlot inching up YHC’s throat from the first couple of …
5 PAX threw on their cleats to join up in the gloom for a shot at The Home Plate. YHC presented the Stumble PAX with a challenging 5.5 mile route pushing us all to over-achieve in order to finish within the 45 minutes allotted, and that we did. YHC carried the six with 2 minutes …
10 PAX faithfully stumbled out of the fartsack embarking on a quest to plant the #Stumble shovel flag atop #MOM. YHC came out of the gates hard but was quickly passed by Skirt… then Holy Poker… then Beacon, and Beacon brought home the bacon. Litter box clean? Check. Strong work by the #Stumble PAX this …
