Everything turns into a prison story when Ron Burgandy posts
There's just something about coming together at 0530 in the morning to get a good workout in and share in the brotherhood of man. I was given another opportunity to lead the Pax this morning and I couldn't have been more proud to have the group of men that posted,...
Chicken Shack Back Blast 8.8.18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtoKnQROnmU I am not sure why the Beaufort crowd decided to name this workout after a 1960s French blues band, but we are talking about the town with the most oddballs per capita in North America, so there is no point trying to figure...
Merkin Challenge at the Clam Digger
Four men joined YHC for a little Merkin beat down, Beaufort style. With Bunyon sliding in just as the one minute warning was given, Mission Statement was recited and warm-a-rama began. Some hamstring stretching along with downward dog and upward dog did the trick...
Dreadnought Back Blast 8.7.18
4.39 miles of fun was had by a dozen pax this morning, even though the dew point was 78 degrees and the Runner's World chart was warning us not to do this . . . DEW POINT (°F) RUNNER'S PERCEPTION HOW TO HANDLE 50–54 Very comfortable PR conditions 55–59 Comfortable...
A week of Lunchbox – Day 4 – Boonedocks
Day 4 - Today started with 9 men gathered together in the gloom of the early morning. The glow of the streetlights in the church parking lot illuminated our band of brothers who were here to make each other better. 5:30 rolled around and I called a hard start. Mission...
MAKE IT A DOUBLE
YHC rolled in to find 3 PAX members ready to roll. YHC was worried about the turnout because he received no HC’s the night before. YHC knew the grounds were going to wet and went to survey a route for some kind of run. The 4 minute warning was given and we waited for...
Table Setter Back Blast 8.6.18
18 met at the Sanitary this morning, including two from off, for a workout requested by Shroom, one with plenty of upper body work, while still putting in some miles. Of course Shroom fartsacked, but he did give me an HC for the Dread tomorrow. We shall see. Anyway,...
The Injured Reserve
As YHC awoke to his first alarm he noticed two things. First, he and his M had slept the entirety of the night, together, in their marital bed without either child interrupting, for the second night in a row. Second, he heard the dull, depressingly ever present,...
A week of Lunchbox – Day 3 – Green Mile
4 men and a dog showed up for Day 3 in a week of Lunchbox. A hard start was called at 5:30 and we all set off on a mosey at our own pace. Couch Potato chose to stay with the Q for some much appreciated 2nd F. We all circled back up at 6:15 and YHC took us out in...
A week of Lunchbox- Day 2 – Black Ops
I called for a black ops ruck to satisfy my need for a Sunday Q to get my 7 in 7. I knew my chances for getting any Pax to show were slim since we don’t call many evening workouts on the west end of Carterico. Nonetheless I showed up at the AO at about 6:20 and...
A week of Lunchbox – Day 1 – FOD
With my 39th birthday approaching on Tuesday, I decided to go for a 7-in-7 Q week. Over the past two weeks I’ve been having serious doubts about that decision. But nonetheless, I will see it through, and it began with the Field of Dreams. 7 men of abnormal strength...
Gordy Lee Back Blast 8.5.18
It was nice to see the sun this morning, at least until we started running. 7 gathered, including one pax member who had been lost in a central American rain forest for a week. 4 ran and 3 rucked. It was not glorious for YHC, who is still trying to recover from Lone...
“60% chance of thunderstorms”
Going into my first Q, I expected horrible weather; as we have had for the past two weeks. I drove over the emerald isle bridge at about 7:10 to a beautiful view of the sun over the water. It ended up being the nicest morning I've worked out on. Right before we...
Tied to the Docks
The forecast for the morning was rain and wind. YHC was not expecting very many of our dedicated Pax to show up. Not because they are not dedicated....they are the BEST. However, there were lots of complications....yada...yada...ya! So YHC is walking around and a...
Hero Patriot 08.04.18
For the first time in a long time, we began a workout without any rain falling or lightning striking. The lack of rain and lightning must have scared off many of our PAX who have become accustomed to the stormy conditions, with the exception of the 5 men that showed-...
