Pre-Run in Reverse

As others have been noting in recent back blasts, its been getting a little chilly in the gloom here lately, but it didn’t scare 14 PAX for a little tour of Hickory.  Even Powder braved the elements albeit with a long sleeve shirt.  YHC thought about grabbing some sleeves on the way out the door […]

7 Dudes + Stuff = A Peaches OG Beatdown

When Peaches got the nod to Q again at the world’s sketchiest AO, I gladly accepted the offer. The last time I had the privilege of leading the men of Hickory in a workout at this glorious AO, only two braves souls came out for a Peaches beatdown. Well this time, that number was tripled, […]

Beaker’s World

Fall is in the air and so are the temps.  A beautiful morning greeted us at Expresso this morning where the old temp dial said 50!  The long sleeve shirt made it’s debut for Smalls and Phlegm.  Say a prayer for our brother Powder as the cold kept him in his bed today.  Hopefully he […]

Hills Do The Body Good

6 pax showed up in the gloom, even with the threat of rain looming in the distance.  I had a route laid out and as I was explaining he route I realized we were going to run on 321 so I gave a last minute detour.  We ran to Day 3 Church and then back […]

Battle of the BULGE at Star

We had 2 for the pre-run down the hill to the lake then up that loooong hill known as Shiloh Church Rd (i think).  We were looking for Lake Shore Drive and never found it, but carefully avoided Joe Teague Drive.  Plank “pants” while running up Shiloh – but guess what – he conquered it! […]
