WAM! BAM! – A Preblast
I have some very exciting news for the men of NCFoothills and beyond! Two new AOs have been formed and in just over a week the workouts will begin. Have you ever been injured and needed a lower impact workout for a few weeks? Have you ever invited an FNG and he says “I can’t […]
Cold Cold Morning
Got a text from Fuse asking for a sub-Q since Retread had told him “HECK NO!” so I thought I would step up. After sleeping in and resting the legs after this weekend it seemed like the alarm clock came a little extra early this morning. It could also have been that it was a […]
“Must complete Pattern”
Warmup- IST, Hilly Billy, Humpies, Windmills, Little Arm Circles (all IC X15) The Thang- Mosey around the block to Cemetery Hill for some partner work. Since there was 4 of us this would be perfect. P1 runs backwards while P2 does 3 Burpees then P1 sprints to catch P2 then flip flop, continue that to […]
Level 10 Fartsack
Anyone remember that movie Strange Brew? If you haven’t seen it, it’s the 80’s equivalent of…well, just about any theatrical masterpiece you can think of. It’s part love story, so it’s an 80’s Casablanca. I think, never seen Casablanca actually. It has some criminal masterminds/villans in it, so it’s an 80’s Godfather. Wait, was Godfather […]
Backblasts….as fleeting as a fart in the wind. Most times.
I’m past due on backsplashes for my recent Q’s. Sorry folks, been busier than a one legged dude in a butt kicking contest. Or is it busier than a one armed coat hanger? Those are some of my favorite euphemisms. Couple others that I enjoy. Warning: there’s an adult word or two in here. If […]
Giddy for the Q
Giddy: (Verb) make (someone) feel excited to the point of disorientation. When Publix asked at Whippin Stick on Saturday if someone would take today’s Q, I jumped. It has been a while since I have Qed and I always enjoy it. Weather- 33- cold and frozen windshield. That time of the year. I finally […]
🏥
5:27, driving down N Center St. As I approach the corner of N Center St & 3rd Ave, it’s a ghost town. No shovel flag, no pax, no pre-runner’s cars. Traffic in general was light. 5:28: CE and Twig are there…talking, but also looking anxiously to see if anyone else will join us. There’s still […]
No Missed Turns!
At YHC’s last Ram Q, there was an early missed turn that resulted in a longer run and a later finish than expected, which, of course, YHC has had to hear about regularly (in addition to all the other moments YHC has shown himself to be directionally challenged). So, for redemption, YHC attempted the same […]

M.O.U.N.T. Up
YHC was out of town last week. The proper way to get back at it would obviously be to post at ER. Or even better, Q it. The PAX at ER are some of the best. Twig. The man who isn’t the fastest, but is always there. Teaching us consistency. Retread. Not just a runner, […]
