FSU football’s head coach Mike Norvell has a theme for his team called “The Climb”. He inherited a 5-7 team that had been on a slide downward for several years. He’ll often tell his team and coaches to “Keep Climbin” while they work on their weaknesses to get better each day. That’s what we did today at Bermuda, literally and metaphorically : Warmarama – 20 SSH IC, 10 IW’s IC, 10 Ukrainian Soldiers IC, 10 Merkins IC Mosey to workout area behind basketball court then spread across 4 stations 3 Rounds of the following : Station 1 – 5 Pull…

QIC: Last Call, Chaplain
The PAX: Chaplain, Last Call

A late night inquiry for Broga was what YHC needed to get the morning started right. Perfect conditions were on tap for a pair of Broga regulars to hit No Toll early. Chaplain called for hamstrings and hips to be the focus of todays’ routine and YHC happily obliged while throwing in some shoulders and back work as well. Pigeon is always a crowd favorite and no exception this morning. Thanks Chap for the encouragement to get up this morning.

The PAX: Brick, Pigskin, Lighthouse

As has become more of a trend, it had been a while since YHC’s last Q. A Tuesday evening group text from Lighthouse asking for a Q came through yet again and YHC raised his hand. Here’s what we did: Decided to draft on Gypsy’s parking deck workout from a week prior and return to the scene of a Gypsy beat down so that we could perform a favorite of mine, the Paula Abdul. Travel up 2 levels of a parking deck, back down 1 and so on and so forth. I always turn these into a bit of an…

16 fearless HIMs gathered in the waning gloom for a little ruck action. 3 mi route below. YHC took us out. NMS- It was great to see PAX from all over the region today. Thanks for making it out to Currahee gents! Rucking was something we did all the time in the Army. YHC needs to work at it to get back to the standard of 15min / mi for 12 miles. If what we did wasnt hard enough for you, set goals for more weight and faster – the best can hit a pace under 12min / mi without running.…

3 Running Dead saddled up at 4:30 am for a group run exploring some new territory. YHC led them out of Rockwood Park via the utility road, across Hull Street into shopping plaza, and back into the Oxbridge Neighborhood. Zombie Brain was affecting YHC this morning as I tried to remember a route in my head that I devised 2 weeks ago. Had to take quite a few U Turns but still accomplished this 4.65 mile run :
