Four southside regulars posted for a quick jaunt down Robious. Negative splits – out 23 minutes and back 22. Running west along the new(ish) walking path on Robious, across the bridge and returning the same way you came. Great job pax. This particular path is sneaky as it’s downhill out and uphill back. YHC quickly realized upon crossing the first bridge and the end of the walkway that Robious towards 288 is no bueno to run on. Props to OC for making it to 288 and back. Next time some additional steps will be added to keep the Robious portion…
7 two-legged steeds assembled in the late Gloom for a dawn-time launch. Temps were sunny and 70 with a touch of fog. Breaking all norms and traditions, the PAX launched at 06:59 a.m. (in order to remain 6+ feet ahead of the construction crew intent on flaunting the “small groups only” rules). Routes were south bank, T. Pottersfield, and return on North Bank. Group sized jumped to 8 when Hitchhiker, true to his name, joined up en route, having had the audacity to be ready to start at 07:00 a.m. Glad you could make it. Along the way, the counter-clockwisers…
Three studs launched, five studs finished. 4 miles round trip, ET’s to DogPile, DogPile to ET’s. LIFO1, Hardlywood, caught the PAX about to turn on Robinson, LIFO2, aka the 4th or is it 5th F, Flipper, caught the PAX at the AO.

As YHC neared the AO he was thankful to see other PAX members as many of the PAX said they may have tight backs this morning from lifting heavy the night before. YHC hasn’t picked up a Q in some time and had flashbacks of one of his first Qs on the way in to the AO. Due to the actions of TYA one saturday at Dog Pile, YHC had a misunderstanding of the Beast and confused the PAX on one of those first Q’s. The grumblings concerned the Q so he inquired and was enlightened by the seasoned vets.…
YHC is always excited about a Dogpile Q and did some homework in anticipation of a large crowd and keeping our workout groups to 10 or less people, with 16 showing up for a nice cool morning for a workout this was going to be easy. YHC immediately had everyone number off 1,2 1,2(this took a couple of times as we kept going 1,2,3,4…you know it is F3 after all!) so we had 2 groups of 8! Awesome, ready for the fun to begin and here is how it went down: The THANG part 1 Group 1 (Timer) went to…
Social distancing was all too easy this morning as a PAX of one hit Twin Team. Here’s what went down… Mosey to the Swamp only to find the Swamp nicely locked up. Parking lot it is. COP: DQs and Russian Soldiers BOMBS: Burpees x 30 Overhead presses x 40 Merkins x 50 Big boy sit-ups x 60 Squats x 70 After each exercise, take a lap around the parking lot. Lightpole Mary: Perform 50 (single count) of an exercise at each lightpole before heading to the next. Exercises included American Hammers (at 5 light poles cause it’s my favorite), Flutter…

22 Social Distance Runners and Riders posted (in small groups) to get their minds and bodies right. The route: Grove to Boulevard (turn left) to Hanover (turn right) to negative split timer. Turn around come home – faster. Negative splits were the order of the day. 4 milers: 23 minutes out / 22 minutes back. 5 miles: 23:30 out / 21:30 back. 6 milers: 24 out / 21 back. Push yourselves. Don’t hurt yourselves. The other order of the day. Prayers to everyone as we/they navigate through these uncharted waters. But know this, it will pass, and when it does,…
Here is how it went down today. Met at clubhouse 5:30am! Four runners & Annie took off to grab desired mileage. Two took off to complete the Murph. Honeymoon took us out. New Market has been very diligent in practicing socal distancing during the Corona Virus era. We might even have enough PAX to create a new AO? YHC has not Q’d in a LONG time and frankly I do miss it, but what I miss even more is the large groups of exceptional men I get to interact with each workout. I even though now that I have been…
