13 faithful gathered around the hallowed ground at #Thunder for a little YHC special. The pax expected to cover some ground today and while we never strayed too far from the AO almost 2 miles were racked up before it was all said and done. Great push by all in attendance. Conditions: Mid 50’s – …
Concrete block walls, topped with razor wire and broken glass, raced by the whitewashed cage as our driver downshifted into the corner throwing us, his cargo, hard against the wooden bench.

13 Faithful gathered at #Brickpile for an old school, classic all-around. YHC had not q’d a workout in quite a while and while there may have been a little rust the pax were willing to push through and make it count. The plan for the day was to remain on campus and gain a little …

When Cesspool reminded YHC and Fannie that we had the #Battle Q the news was greeted unkindly. Between a few random injuries, illnesses and a dash of #fartsacking, leading the men of #Battle just wasn’t a good option. Thankfully, Fannie and I have been around a while and know how to give the buys a …
