Ever since Sway (remember him?) “encouraged” YHC to look for a new AO a few years ago, appearances at the Brickpile have been few and far between. YHC was honored to make the new Q list, so some old school fun was planned for the 13 of us who posted this morning. Weather: 67 degrees …
Twas a nice morning, no rain but a little misty. The air was thick, I swear. 5 minutes in, I felt like I had run 5 laps, but we didn’t move from one spot. I somewhat recovered to proceed and punish the PAX (myself for sure). I tried to hit all the major muscle groups, …
9 pax arrived for a Battle Beatdown Saturday, led by Hee Haw and Adrian. It was a little odd with no Splinter, Chaser, Okra … or even Abraham. We did our best to keep things going without the normal “encouragement” from the Reynolds crew. The Thang Run to Circle SSH x 20 (IC) Merkins x …
Beautiful mornings and with an eye on summer, YHC felt the need for a road trip having stuck around home for spring break week. With 11 of the faithful in tow, therefore, we vacated the regular haunts of #SwampFox and spent a little time getting cozy with Forest Drive. Conditions: Warm & Dry (#Cantore was way …
Welcome Week, in his tweet about this morning’s #Ramble, made reference to all the big events on the downhill side of summer and the most recent chatter about the Table Rock 50K. So, taking that as something of a challenge, YHC, who was planning to hit #TheBull until being reminded of the Q at #Ramble, tried …
You’d think after 4 years YHC would be getting better at this Q’ing stuff… ready to have the training wheels taken off and all. There’s proof below, though, that there is always room for improvement. There is always a need to accelerate, to #GetBetter all the time. Conditions: 55 Degrees, cool & perfectly comfortable. TheThang: Mosey through …
12 faithful turned out for the start of Mortgage Week at #Thunder. Fannie and YHC swapped days so the pax were treated to some good ‘ole fashioned fun. A trip to Emily Douglas was on tap but not before a quick dose of #StringsofFire on campus. What workout would be complete without some suicides and …
The regulars of #Scramble are familiar with the challenge of the AO… namely, there’s nowhere to run without first climbing out of a hole. And no route out of the bottom-land that is Trenholm Plaza is as lengthy as the Forest Drive climb. So we did that. Conditions: Brisk & windy out of the west… so …
7 pax with FNG Bluetick took on Thunder while the runners rested up. COP SSH x 20 IC IW x 20 IC Mercans x 15 IC Flutters x 20 IC Squats x 20 IC LBACs x 15 IC forward & back Mosey to Bball Court and line up along sideline near school. 10 CDDs / …
Rumor has it Hump Day Happy Hour is hurting attendance at Thunder on Thursdays. Boris and crew might have been in the fartsack – but Beta was having none of it. He showed up ready to work, tank top in tow … and only 10 minutes late. His energy throughout the workout inspired all of …
