Prologue:A few weeks ago, our brothers at True Grit issued a challenge to the Raleigh PAX: Q five workouts by the end of the year. I ignored the initial call as my posting had become erratic and I was struggling. A couple of weeks later I was going to post True Grit, but I was…
As I was leaving the house this morning, my cell phone rang. Who could be calling at 5:15 in the morning? I had to answer. “Wake County Schools will be on a 2 hour delay.” Two hour delay? Seriously? I looked outside. A little rain. Nothing more. I doubted it would keep the PAX from…
I was watching Monday night football last night, thinking about what to do for this morning’s Q. I know. I went though my old notes of past leads and found one dated 9/29/15. I read through it. That’ll work. Repeato! Back to the game… Dez was already there when I pulled up 15 minutes early.…
On Tuesday, July 4th, we celebrated independence. We celebrated the birth of this great nation. We celebrated 241 years of the United States of America. And we did it with 135 Pax from all corners of Wake County. YHC rolled in on two wheels at 0620 to find a dozen Pax waiting to get their…
Post Memorial Day true story below…read at end of F3 Forge today…..this one sentence that makes up this BB Title stays on my mind….take time to read….the current young generation that garners much criticism also gives our country young men like this WARMUPS: 30 SSH 15 Imperial Walkers 15 front – 15 reverse Sir Fazio…
25, including 2 FNGs, made it to Pullen Park this morning. First things first, my microphone tweaked on a name so if you do not see yours below either sound off or just know you busted your ass this morning. Start on time for a quick warmup. World’s Greatest Stretch with slow count, single merkin…
Being the first to admit it, this was my first post in just over three months. We were blessed with beautiful weather this morning, and 26 took full advantage of it. No FNGs, and away we went. Warm-up (or was it?): brisk jog into Pullen, up the stairs, past the octagon shelter, through the upper…
Epoxy is apparently sitting in Wrigley Field all week instead of fulfilling his Q obligations. That created an open slot and I was glad to fill it (that’s what she said) for PAX of 20 this morning for latest edition of the Forge. Didn’t feel like using the regular stuff so we ventured to NC State -the…
Getting ready for my Q coming up on the last day of January, I kept checking the forecast, which called for temps in the 20s all week. I tried to think of a workout to take this into account, which involved 2 things, some kind of shelter, and we had to keep it moving. There…
31 PAX posted today at THE FORGE. YHC regurgitated his 1st F3 Q…which was at this site. Here is how it went: Warm up run around Pullen Park’s little lake; circle up for: SSH x 20….led by Turkish Bath…TB’s SSH here were a form not seen by YHC at F3….resembled an Irish Leprecahn dancing Imperial…
