Parking Lot Tour at The Tower

Pull into the Tower with Red Eye and Buttermilk. YHC decided to give them a tour of the Tower, so we visited most of the parking lots. (We did neglect Food Lion’s; sorry Reading Rainbow.) Warm Up (all in cadence): 25 Side Straddle Hops 10 Little Arm Circles 10 Reverse Arm Circles 10 Humpies 15 […]

6th Anniversary

Covid 19 thought it could stop the men of Hickory from celebrating the 6th Anniversary but it was wrong. No we were not able to all get together from across the region in one central place, but that is definitely coming when all of this is over. The virtual Zoom workout is a little different […]

Mortimer 100

The pre-blast told you to go home.  Some brave souls didn’t listen and Race Committee is dang glad that you didn’t.  As far as I can tell, you had a good time, we raised some ducketts, and no one died.  That, my friends, makes for a successful relay. I’ve read two backblasts from other regions.  […]

Silver Sneakers

My wife and I had some friends over for sunday lunch, one of which is Fescue from the Mount(Has anyone taken his info?)… anyway, he was asking me about how everyone seemed to be connected and knew when to q, etc.  I was showing him Slack, and the Q schedule.  That’s when I found out […]

Make Mortimer Great Again

Well we had our team meeting for Mortimer last night and we were throwing around some good team names:  Fuse had Puddin Britches and Chili Trousers; Kapowski had The Flaming BJ’s (but we thought we might get shot going through Mortimer with that name); then someone said we should just drive through there with a […]

The Jester is no joke

Fellas, Remember this:  There was and is only one man that lived a perfect life.  It’s not you, and it dang sure isn’t me.  Jesus Christ was the one. Taken from Q Source, a book that Dredd has written as a resource to all things F3 and improving yourself: Every man has his own personal […]

Rain, Blocks, and Gas

Weather:  5:29 it was coming down hard. Big fat rain (say it like Forrest Gump) 5:30 it wasn’t Thang:  Standard Issue + Jane Fondas.  Clearly one of my favorites. Mosey for WW2’s & Pull Ups at the kiddie park.  Just to get a lil bit wet. Mosey to a parking lot for One Merkin Per […]

3hr delay

When my alarm went off to prerun with Pumpernickel I assumed it was going to be a light crowd since we had a crazy snow storm on Thursday that shutdown school and delayed school on Friday by 3 hours. I say that in jest since it never snowed and yes it was cold but the roads […]

No go on the snow

Woke up.  Rolled out of bed.  Dragged a comb across my head.  Found my way downstairs and drank a cup….Naw.  I haven’t combed my hair since 1993.  Not sure why started w/ that. Weather:  No snow.  In fact, it was downright warm.  My phone said 32, but it closer to 40.  Tooth Fairy’s phone apparently […]

Ram on Saturdays = Whipping Stick…sumpin like that

6:07 – enter Northview parking lot.  It’s empty.  Also cold.  28 or so degrees, I believe. 6:14 – One Minute Warning is given.  To an empty parking lot. 6:15:01 – Beaker rolls in. 6:15:31 – Publix joins us. Warmups.  Light cadence was merited as Pub and Beak were completely ignoring the light cadence and talking […]
