Q School: Copy, Paste, Delete
Q School last week at The Mount. Q School this week at Hurler. The workouts were both very familiar. Biggest difference is that Mount boys do a lot of mumblechatter. Granite Falls boys? Not so much….that’s the Delete part of this title. Anyway, it went a bit like this (edits for Hurler in parentheses), pretty […]
Pinochle at the Mount
Whoop whoop, posting my first BackBlast. Arrived at the Mount a few minutes early and drove to a nearby parking lot to drop off two decks of cards for later. Drove back to the flag and hopped out of the truck. It’s cold. 5:30, an FNG showed up, so YHC stumbled through an intro and […]
ER. I like this AO
Wake up, crank the truck, windshield has no frost, it’s gonna be a good day. Warm up: 21 4-count merkins in cadence 15 windmills 15 humpys 20 SSH 1 lap of the old ER, plank for the 6 when you reach the top the 2nd time around. Lunge walk across the deck to the […]
Turkey Trot
Originally this workout was planned for last Saturday. Mother nature had other plans and the ice storm knocked out the power to most of Lenoir. Me and Commando just made an impromptu workout that day and I saved this one for a larger group. 5 PAX braved the cold this morning to work off all […]
It’s a pre-Thanksgiving miracle
Finally, Cousin Eddie has attended (and survived) a Q by Doughboy. I didn’t think that this day would ever come. When I saw that he was a HC for Organ Grinder, I thought that I might need to “lollipop” the workout, but after doing backward bear crawls up hills at his last Q, I knew […]
Those that can’t do, teach
Made sure to include the legal stuff: 1 minute warning Disclaimer Always wear a watch Plan your workout Have more than enough to cover 45 minutes Never end early Show up early and be energized. Muy importante people. No one wants to be led by someone who looks/sounds/acts like they don’t want to be there […]
Chaos in Change
Weather: Clear 38 degrees F, Dewpoint steady at 32 degrees F, Wind 0 mph Rumors on Twitter noted that the Ghost Flag would be up for grabs by The Mount…YHC had prepared a bit of challenge they would have to ‘earn’ the flag like our PAX did at the SIM’s Challenge when the Ghost Flag […]
Icelandic women are strong
Winter weather advisory in affect meant really cold rain and even colder blocks. 4 Pax didn’t let that stop them from showing up. YHC was advised that running was permitted today, when Thursday’s have become a strength training day. Maybe they were in fear of getting cold? Warm-Up SSH – 35 – lots of confusion […]
Barbara and Beard Contest at Infinity
YHC showed up fashionably on time. I cant say “like always” because usually I am fashionably late. P.S. I hate mornings, and I appreciate the accountability and motivation you guys give. I was not made fun of as an FNG so that was good. I believe everyone is over the stomach bug in the Miller house […]
Ruck ‘N’ Roll to Hickory Soup Kitchen
We got together to do a simple service project: Ruck cans to the Hickory Soup Kitchen. I knew that the Soup Kitchen was not open so the plan was to Ruck with the cans and then I would drop them off later once the Soup Kitchen was open. We completed a 3 mile round trip […]
