The 11 pax posted at the BOM grew to 12 pax by the COT. Today YHC decided that it was time to return to the Whiteford hill. 22.5 minutes out and back for a 45 minute total run today. Every pax made it to the top of Whiteford without stopping to Walk, and every pax covered …

0500 Test Run – Round 2: A Trip down Memory Lane (aka Whiteford Way)Read More »
7 pax posted for a test run of a 5:00 am run group. YHC was suprised to see such a good turnout with less than 24 hours notice (however, we are talking about F3 pax, so YHC shouldn’t have really been surprised). The run this morning was a flashback to YHC’s swagger days when the …

17 pax posted at the opening BOM, then we were joined by 1 ninja pax who arrived on foot. I don’t like naming names, but evidently there was a “Malfunction” with his alarm, and we were happy for him to join us near the “Junction” of Highway 6 and Hightway 1. Conditions: Nice 40 deg and cloudy …

Posted on Behalf of Breakfast Club 12 pax came to work this morning for YHC’s VQ, and no, there wasn’t any 80’s music, jean jackets or pot-fueled dancing in the library. I do think Bender showed up, though. (Thumbs up, you know what I’m talking about). Conditions: 30 and clear with sporadic gunfire. Prayer and …
5 Pax who posted at Boneyard for a workout with minimal running. Due to the space at the AO, it is hard to get anywhere in a timely manner without a little running. This was a VQ of a sort for YHC when it comes to a core based workout so hopefully it met expectations. …

(Posted on Behalf of Booster) 19 posted at Crypt this morning.

Condtions: 60 degrees with a sprinkle of rain at the very beginning, …

15 Pax including 2 FNGs posted at Jumanji (tied the record) for a Baseball Postseason inspired workout on the diamond.

8 Pax posted at Crypt for YHC’s redemption Q with some Tag Team Action. Last Saturday, YHC had some technical difficulties with the Alarm Clock. Bullpen, who had already signed up to Q for today, stepped up to Q the group. Therefore, it was a no-brainer when BP had some family events come up and …

Crypt Pax get “Quarantined” in the African WildernessRead More »
Posted on Behalf of Simon Says: After arriving at the AO this morning, it dawned on YHC that it’s far better for a group of grown men to hang out at a high school at 4:50AM instead of 4:50PM. One option shows commitment. The other is just creepy. YHC arrived a little earlier than usual in …
15 Pax enter the gloom at Crypt this morning expecting to see Nikita on the Q. What they found was the call had been made to bullpen to bring in Quisenberry in relief. Get well soon Nikita! Conditions: 72 degrees, pretty nice actually! The Thang: BOM / Prayer Mozey around to the side …
A record number 30 pax posted at Crypt today for a Mud Run themed workout. Mumblechatter was plentiful, and YHC was accused more than once of Qing and #Stride workout. But as always the spirit of the pax was strong and all left #Crypt a better version of themselves. Conditions: About Normal The …
Turning Point hosted record attendance as 23 Pax posted for Round 4 of the #Kamikaze. Typically in the movies, the sequels don’t ever live up to the originals. However, Kamikaze IV proved to be bigger, badder, and better than the previous rounds. With the larger attendance, YHC took a Mud Run approach by breaking the pax into …
