Gentlemen! YHC is proud to serve on the Richmond Community Toolbank’s board along with Lightning Rod and we need your support for a little Second and Third F this Saturday evening for our annual fundraiser called Hammers & Ales. This Saturday at 6PM the Toolbank will have beer from Stone Brewing, barbecue from Buz & Neds (with plenty of other food) along with the MoDeBree Band for a celebration of the good work the Toolbank has done over the last year providing tools to enhance the charitable sector’s capacity to serve, facilitating hands-on volunteerism in the greater Richmond area. What’s…
It’s almost November. That means mustaches will begin to proliferate. I can’t think of a better pairing for a mustache than swolled up shoulders and arms. The baseline is 5k for the month. That translates to 167 merkins every day for an entire month. You can guarantee there will be a few merkin ladders sprinkled in throughout the month to help you reach your goal. Modify your baseline as you see fit and pass this along to others that may be interested. http://bit.ly/2zbZDwv Push yourself. Don’t hurt yourself.
All pax and family members are invited to participate in a monthly breathing exercise challenge for November. Please note that this is NOT to take the place of our traditional November merkin challenge, rather to complement it. Directions and video tutorials are on the spreadsheet. YHC is using this as a way to dive in to meditation and breathing exercises, so if there are knowledgeable pax out there, please share your tips and strategies. Breathe MFer, Breathe. Lab Rat
YHC has heard lots of mumble-chatter recently (Gomer Pyle, Shake Down, Hardywood, among others) about starting a 2nd hour workout on Saturdays about once a month. No time like the present. Launch date will be October 21, 2017, for Double Dog (permanent name TBD). YHC has the Q for Hour 1. Anyone interested in the 2nd Hour of Power should plan to stick around after Dog Pile. Basic plan will be to finish up Dog Pile (COT, etc.), take 5 or so to re-fuel, and start the 2nd hour about 7:10 a.m. YHC will take the Q to start followed…
Pax, After the convergence, Helix and I will be making a beer together at the Ratskeller. I have no other plans, and minimal beer, but I have a grill and a grocery store nearby. There will be at least one set of corn hole, possibly the unveiling of another…depending on if Ronaldo works as fast as he runs. All are welcome, ’cause my wife is out of town! I will give the downstairs bathroom a once over in case she finds out about this. We will be kicking off by meeting at Original Gravity (in Lakeside, by Lewis Ginter) at…

22 runners and a pit crew of 5 took a giant step forward to tackle this year’s 208 mile trek from Grayson Highlands VA to Asheville NC. With an abundance of accomplishments and stories too extensive to capture here, enclosed is a “brief” summary of what transpired over the event. YHC will leave it up to the PAX to weigh-in on any omissions, distortions of truth, or dispel any unfounded rumors regarding one’s ability to keep a van upright on a dark country road… Acknowledgements and Accomplishments: A sincere and hearty thanks to Bleeder, Swirly, and TYA for your end-to-end arrangement of this year’s BRR. Logistics, equipment,…
