17 PAX (including 1 FNG. Welcome, Jane Doe!) and a dog posted at Stride this morning for a route that featured a loop inside of a loop. Loop-Ception, if you will. This route sucked. YHC forgot the hilly awfulness that is South Church St, and designed a route that incorporated those awful hills 2-4 times …
15 posted to get some miles under the Super Blue Blood Moon while 1 posted becasue he misses us. Whatever F you need, we’re here for you. Thanks for the doughnuts, Crack. Conditions: 27 degrees The Thang: Count off Disclaimer BOM Take 6 toward Red Bank R on Roberts L on Claudius Cross Gibson onto …

***Posted on behalf of Kukoc*** WEATHER Expected Freezing, Actual 42 degrees YHC was found amidst a dispute over who would lead the valiant Pax of F3Lexington’s leading run group Stride.

9 Pax set out on a mission to find George St that seemed to elude us on my last Q. We took a different route to find it, but it was there in all its glory. We also found a little hill along the path on Tanglewood. Some ran 2 miles on a training plan …
Hopefully this morning was the final subarctic morning we’ll see this year. Probably not. Nevertheless, 8 men posted this AM for some training miles and/or recovery miles. #Tclaps to all pax that ran the Harbison 50K last weekend. Special kudos to Hemingway and our AOQ Knozit for posting for a recovery run. Conditions: 22 degrees …
YHC told the pax it takes a special man to post in this weather. Lego quickly pointed out it takes a stupid man. Good point, Lego. 11 stupid and special men defeated the ‘sack and got some miles in this AM. Nagging injuries and Harbison 50K tapering cut the route short for some while some …
Temp: Glorius 50s Awesome Running Weather Disclaimer Prayer 12 pax, 3 Ruckers, and 1 K9 joined YHC for a 6.3 flattish route to Shawshank and back.

After volunteering to lead, YHC’s initial thoughts were something with …
A whopping 18 PAX posted at Stride on a downright cold morning. It was great to see such a strong crowd out in the frozen gloom burning up Main Street. Here’s how it went: Conditions: 30 deg F and clear Count off, Disclaimer(?), Prayer The Thang: – East on Main St/U.S. 1 – Left on …
32 degrees, no problem. The strong 11 that took the Daily Red this AM got better. Kukoc was Kukoc: showed up late but still got the most miles in. And he passed Dunphy, which we think is why he shows up late. Moist and Muggy Tape joined YHC on fast ruck. We kept a 15 …
16 Pax started their day off roaming around the streets of Lexington aimlessly. Was it Green St or George St that we were supposed to turn on? YHC has been yelled at many times on a bootcamp AO, but I do believe that it is a first for being yelled by Ranger at a running …
Fresh off the Cheech 10K where impressive times were posted by the region, 10 pax decided Monday’s Stride was going to be fast as well. WeeWee & Kukoc decided to run at sub-7 clip. The rest of us, including 2 Iron Man finishers, ran at a slothy 8:15 pace for 6+ miles. It was the …
11 plus the AO dog decided to get better this AM by posting at Stride. 38 degrees is cold if you’re just hanging out. But when you’re running or working out, it’s ideal. Don’t let a small obstacle like the temperature scare you away from getbetterment. Conditions: 38 degrees but only 87% humidity The Thang: …
A rainy forecast didn’t scare 7 pax away from Monday’s edition of Stride. Preparing for rain, YHC planned a safe route to keep the Striders off the roads. It didn’t rain a drop and there were no bloody nips. Conditions: 67 degrees, 100% humidity, no rain The Thang: Count off Disclaimer Nip protection check BOM …
9 PAX met in the Lexington magistrate parking lot on a cool, crisp morning and 10 returned at the end of the run. Kukoc arrived late and chased the Stride PAX all over west Lexington and met back at the shovel flag at the end of the run. Conditions: 43 deg F & Chilly Count …

9 men took their Daily Red Pill, choosing to run an hour in a sauna. Pepto came to win. After COT, we exercised our freedom and pledged allegiance to the flag of the United State of America. Aye! Conditions: A steamy 76 degrees The Thang: Count off Disclaimer BOM Maiden L on S. Church R …
Conditions: Cool and beautiful 12 PAX rose from the fartsack and posted at Stride with YHC having no idea what was in store for them. It wasn’t Butler so they were happy. The Thang: Right onto Six Right onto Gibson Left onto Duffie Drive Left into Shank parking lot for loop around track Say hello …
Weather: very pleasant running temps, if only it always felt this good. One man wanted to keep an easy pace, so he would have fresh legs for a long trail run over the weekend. This sounded like a great idea to the rest of us. So we set out with the goal of actually enjoying …

14 Pax got out of the fart sack for an unoriginal route. YHC still recovering from the past excitement of the BRR CSAUP hangover opted for the easy, flat-ish route. COBAINS KenDoll for getting you up. I’m sure YHC has another write up added in his HR file. The Route: Out and Back to Target …
6 Pax took their DRP and posted at Stride. Some ran, some walked and some left a little early. But we all showed up. The Weather: A tad humid The Route: L Lake Dr L Columbia Ave L Chariot Cross over Hendrix to Duffie R into Gibson Rd Soccer complex and take a lap around …
YHC really likes the route he had planned for some reason. Maybe it’s because we only seem to run it when he’s the QIC. Maybe YHC just likes the word “Swartz”. There’s nothing really special about the route. Maybe it reminds him of the cult classic movie Spaceballs and the power of The Swartz. …
17 PAX posted for a simple run on a nice cool morning at Stride. Here’s what we did: Conditions: 57 deg & Real Nice The Thang: – Run south on S Lake Drive for 30 minutes – Turn around & come back – To Red Bank Baptist Church and back is exactly 6 miles. Announcements: …
***posted on behalf of Kukoc*** YHC knew it had a chance to be a sloppy morning with the incoming hurricane/tropical depression.

Mac Qd Wednesday so it was YHC’s turn to be the fingerpointer at Stride. Yesterday was Boston Butt pickup day for YHC’s baseball team fundraiser. This seemingly innocuous event led to some strange things: -Meatball posted a head-scratcher of a GIF that YHC still can’t decipher -Dunphy, who ate the pork last night, feels freely …
15 Pax and one furry friend took their DRP at Stride this morning. A Cherokee trail run sounds like we did some kind of indian run on the trails but since they have dozered through the dirt berms on either side of the bridge it can no longer be classified as a trail run. Everyone …
The proverbial hay is in the barn so no need to get crazy with BRR training. No Bulter Loops or anything silly. Let’s just run a nice and easy out and back with 400+ feet elevation gain. Conditions: A glorious 67 degrees with 66% humidity The Thang: Count off, disclaimer, BOM Take 6 toward Red …

5 PAX posted despite their better judgment for a Candy stripe speed workout. With the Q list empty, YHC held off signing up strategically, as not scare anyone away. That’s not related to the physical difficulty associated with YHC Qs, but the required high level agility needed to retain one’s Pride during the workout. If you weren’t there, this is …

So YHC thought it would be a good idea to check out the Q schedule for Stride to see who, if anyone, was on the Q list for Stride in the morning. It’s a good thing YHC did, because no one was on the schedule and last week it was stated that if no one …

5 Pax posted to the gloom of Stride for #Speedwork. YHC has always incorporated speedwork into his routine but with a caveat, HILLS! The benefits for hill repeats are numerous.

9 pax awoke from the ‘sack for their dose of #DRP. With BRR training ongoing, YHC is picking the hilliest routes around so MJ’s Hell Hill get the call again, backwards this time.

YHC did a little research on improving speed and endurance at the same time because he wanted to do something a little different than what had been done before. What YHC found was the Yasso 800, which is a training format to help guestimate your marathon time and set a goal for a marathon (if …
A total of 9 pax came out this morning to better themselves at the monthly Dang 5k. 3 of the pax (Mac, Candystripe, and Granola) started out early, around 4:30 to run across dam and into Irmo. They returned right around the same time as the 5k pax. The three XXLers put in a little …
With all of the BRR training starting YHC felt that a distance run was in order. Sure, these crazy guys need some hill work to get ready for their mountain work,but YHC needs a little variety in life. There was definitely a new experience along the way, but this unfortunately turned out to be a …

Yellow Cake asked YHC last friday to Q today. YHC accepted the challenge, and the planning began. Last Monday’s repeat-o-rama with Kimye left YHC bedazzled.
