Backblast respectfully submitted by Traitor A small but faithful group of 8 met on a nice fall morning. We carefully navigated Trenholm Road and Forest Drive to get a a beautiful run around Forest Lake. Too bad we couldn’t see it in the morning gloom. A couple of almost wrong turns kept us on our …

19 pax entered the gloom of #Thunder to receive their second helping of GreaseTrap’s workout offerings. They were not disappointed as GT took them on a pain-spree that covered a good bit of ground. T-Claps to GreaseTrap for holding down the fort in YHC’s absence. Conditions: 63 with 94% humidity The Thang: Warm-Up Lap COP …
Backblast respectfully submitted by OC Despite a government shutdown, an inquiring Forest Acres Police Officer, and a #hubcapattack, OC (obamacare) led 15 amblers on a successful 4 mile double loop this morning. This 2.0 Mile loop was designed to help everyone focus on running and not on finding their way through the gloom. The pax …
“Where is my brother?” The question was posed by Chaser about three minutes prior to the start of Tuesday’s Thunder workout. Suddenly a figure wearing a dark hoodie appeared from the gloom. Removing his hood F3Columbia’s sensei uttered the two most familiar words to all pax, “let’s go.” And with that, Splinter’s birthday bash was underway. This …

In the third grade, Sheets and Termite were cast in a show-stopping performance as two crows in Hammond’s yearly take on the Wizard of Oz. Why? The role required a pesky and irritating behavior that was masterful. That same behavior was on hand for 47 pax at the #Brickpile for the Saturday Columbia convergence. Conditions: 59 …
11 Amblers entered the gloom at KBC for an easy-paced 5.5 mile Friday. Thoughts of tomorrow’s 9 mile Governor’s Cup Half Marathon Route hung heavy as the pax meandered through Jackson Heights, Heathwood, and Lake Katherine. Today’s loop also featured a glance at tomorrow’s water station which may prove to be crucial intel. Conditions: 60 degrees, …
15 pax entered the grounds of #Thunder without the slightest concern for the heavy rain that poured just 8 hours earlier. They were greeted by a friendly and familiar face but Sled made sure those smiles quickly turned into scowls (after the Sled Straddle Hops). A quick COP kicked off the morning followed by a …
It was a pleasant surprise to see 24 men gather in the gloom Tuesday morning for another #Thunder beatdown. A guest appearance from #Mission helped to ensure the chatter would keep the pax moving. A false start in the parking lot and no warm-up lap let the pax know Adrian intended to make a full …
OK, so maybe it was the worst kept secret in town but YHC took a break from #Thunder for the first time in four weeks to make a surprise appearance as QIC at #SwampFox. The sentimental nostalgia faded as quickly as the 20 pax faded into quite possibly the darkest spot in town – the …
12 of our committed pax tested their endurance on our first weekend “long” run. Our 8-week training regimen commenced this week which is to say keep doing what you are doing with the #Amble workouts and add a long run over the weekend to complete your week. This weekend we explored the outermost portion of …
