Valentines Day Burpees

YHC’s disclaimer normally includes “I don’t know your medical condition so modify if you need to.” Well, YHC does know Brainiac’s bum knee won’t allow him move around like he wants so we stayed in a pretty confined area. Good on Brainiac for continuing to accelerate even though he limited. Most pax wouldn’t post. Tclaps! …

Disheartening Route

6 pax came together in the cool, windy gloom to run 6.2 miles. Hemingway went XL. T-Claps to #HIM. The route kept coming near to Stride only to turn back around and head out for more miles. It could be somewhat disheartening each pass. Route looked like this… R on South Lake Drive R on Gibson …

The Haynes

YHC took the Q this morning trying to decide if it would be speed work or a normal 4 to 5 ish mile loop, Why not a little of both. It has been a long time since the Pax took on our fitness test, the Haynes. Another selfish reason to run the Haynes is that …

Non-creative Q

YHC always enjoys his time out at Surge.  These guys work hard and get after it.  There must have been 8 or 9 of us for stridelite.  Maybe more since counting is not my forte.  Anyway when the 5:15 hit we had 19 men in the parking lot, although one was on two wheels sliding …

Granolikazi

Not sure where to put this. So, I’ll put it right up top. Canseco was not the most overdressed today. Somehow, Swanson found enough layers to take that title. 16 PAX answered the call for the #Granolikaze. As usual, the PAX pushed hard, focusing on correct form and complete reps. Conditions: 51 deg with clear …

DRP & Smokeboots

The Turning Point Twitter guy called for #DRP & smokeboots Wednesday evening. To post in temps that feel like low 20s is a hard thing that does require a red pill. Smokeboots were also required this AM for this smokefest. Plenty of burpees, a little bit of running & some strategic plyo movements earned us …

YHC received  the call from our Brother Short Haul, who is officially on IR  (get better soon SH),yesterday.  So the call to the Bullpen was made, the old workout box was shaken and out fell this oldey but goody (both wo and YHC).  This wo keeps the pax together but is easily modifiable, if needed. …

It’s about time

The Bounty has been “running” for well over a year now so we thought it was about “time” to start tracking our progress.   This morning was the first timed workout for the 1600m, 800m, & 400m.   We will keep track of these times for the pax.   We will time every other month to see the …

Post but No Cigar

13 PAX came to play Futbol this morning (12 of which were on time… cough, Pebbles, cough…) at the Grand Stadium at River Bluff.  It was just below the freezing temperature mark, but that didn’t stop Cheddar from wearing his shorts out.  The game was close, until it wasn’t, with a final score of 9-6, …

Where are you??

Conditions: Cold, but not near as cold as yesterday Disclaimer: Brainiac YHC originally signed up to Q today but made a last minute decision to let AWOL lead since he does not use social media or the internet for that matter. We went on the hunt for a missing PAX that technically HC’d. The pace …

16 Pax beat the fartsack to show up for YHC’s Q at Turning Point.  YHC expected a very low turnout at Turning Point on the coldest day of the year so far.  YHC was pleasantly surprised when 16 pax arrived to do work.  YHC did not want them to stay cold, so a heater was …
