YHC used to be a certified regular at the premier Tuesday non-running workout. Since I started working in Clemmons, the double commute out just didn’t work as much, which is a shame. After today, a Parliament Renaissance may be in order. Cars kept pouring in and we got rolling right at 0530. The Thang The…
One familiar SUV sat alone as YHC pulled into the AO at 4:59am. Could it be? We have a $5 Foot Long post to start the week? Man, what a way to kick it off. Burns rolled in next, making the long drive over. Headlamps, calf stretch, off on the 2-mile EC. We returned to…
It’s a late 90s tune by the short lived Dischord Reocrds band Bluetip. But it could have been our rally cry today. 4 pax made it to Hanes Park for this week’s WIB. A solid workout format that YHC does not attend nearly enough! It went like this: Normal WOR and a slow mosey to…
What gave it away? The astronaut on my right calf? The full space sleeve? The nerd glasses? The Star Wars shirts? YHC digs space. The M and I have been geeking out on both the box office smash Project Hail Mary (amazae! amaze!) and the Artemis II mission the past few weeks. Seemed like the…
Getting a Q that falls on a holiday is a layup. Your theme is right there! So for the St. Paddy’s Day edition of the region’s best evening workout, YHC kept it simple: music from noted Irish rockers Thin Lizzy (you know them from their mega 1976 hit the ‘Boys Are Back In Town (featureing…
President’s Day. Sort of a holiday? Going by today’s poll, 1 out of 4 have it off, and the 5th is retired, so whatever. Not a scientific poll, but it gives you a sense. To be honest, YHC was not sure what the turnout would be based on the holiday, which may have been what…
When the AO turns into a skating rink, you don’t run—you adapt. Horizontal distance was traded for vertical intensity today to avoid any unplanned meetings with the pavement. No running, so naturally the playlist was all songs about running. WARM-O-RAMA Standard warm-up. It dawns on the Q…their will be MC. More on that later. THE…
Thirteen PAX gathered in the gloom to face two legendary heavy hitters: Dora and Charles Bronson. The air was cool but not cold, no rain (yet), and the EC runners were stretching it out as we prepared to take on the Coal Pit and the Parking Deck. Warm-O-Rama Standard warm-up with all the favorites, including…
It’s not just proximity to House Wobegon; Reynolda Village is an objectively excellent space for an F3 Workout. So, anytime YHC can direct the pax there, you know I’m going to. Toot put out the Q-call for WIB, and here we are. It went like this: 4 stations. Start with 10 reps. Add 1…
It’s a 2-for-1 sale at the area’s best shopping destination/disused DashPax AO. 4 stations. Start with 10 reps. Add one rep each time you visit a station. You vs. You, or find a friend to pace with. Station 1: Circle by the trailhead/boathouse The Foxhole: That’s a merkin, flip over, Big Boy Sit up. That’s…
On a crisp fall evening, just before the spooky spectacle of Halloween and during the high drama (18 innings!) of the World Series, the PAX at High Life embraced the season. We went ghost hunting as the sun set, and it went like this. Warm-O-Rama was as classic as the fall series. The Thang: G.H.O.S.T.S….
The date was 10-9. Sure, YHC could have gone the easy route, celebrating opening night for his beloved Carolina Hurricanes and the inevitable casting out of the hated Devils from New Jersey tonight (Club level seats with Bloodsport and my brother-in-law thanks to his UNC Health connections, bbq tailgating before…but enough about my evening plans!),…
