Slingblade Blizzard 011718- Ok, Really Just a Peaceful Snow Run
YHC has not run much lately, so getting back ‘up to speed’ at Slingblade has been tough. But YHC had Q today, so not posting was out of the question. I had heard a rumor that 1 other should be there also, and with school cancelling, I really expected to see both of the ‘Running […]
The Fantastic Four @ SoCal
Cropduster arrived early and loaded 10 blocks in his truck and drove them to the Granite Drug parking lot. He studied his weinke in the dark privacy of his truck, put on his gloves and headed out for the short run to the AO. There waiting for him were Panda, 2-Stroke and the thought of […]
Log flipping block lifting fun
So a few weeks ago YHC set a New Year’s resolution that this year every Q I had coupons would be present. So with a upcoming Q YHC made a call to good-ol-Plank to ask for the power poles that Star has. So Friday we meet at Star and loaded up three of those devil […]
Rainy Blimp and Block Webbs at Expresso
It was a cold and rainy morning at Expresso this past Thursday. YHC had planned on pre-running but the downpour and lack of Pax put an end to that idea. However, Tooth Fairy showed up early and joined YHC in the car- thanks for the company. When we got circled up, it went like this: […]
Saturday Morning Block Party
As I was writing out my Weinke on Friday evening trying to come up with something a little different for the Whipping Stick it hit me, “we need some blocks”. And it just so happens that they are building a house right across the street from me so I went outside and to my delight […]
The Patriarch
First of all, congratulations to everyone that is part of “the Hickory Region”. It is because of all of you this region thrives. Many know who brought F3 to Hickory. Many of you were there the day it started. One man made that venture to that out of town AO and brought this great experience […]
Dang it’s Hot out here!!
So this was the first post for YHC in a long time that was above freezing. I think it was somewhere in the low 40’s and boy it felt like Summer!! We had 4 show up for a 2ish mile pre run and 3 more for the workout which are solid to high numbers for […]
4 PAX in search of BATs (Blocks Around Town) in Granite Falls @ SoCal
The Thang: 4 PAX showed up on a cool & wet evening for a block beat down around town. Guess the rest of Granite Falls was staying warm & dry @ home watching the College National Championship Football game (slackers). Warm-ups – x15 reps Side straddle hops Little arm circles Alternating Toe Touches Humpies Imperial […]
Crying in the distance…
YHC was tasked with the Q on the morning after the National Championship. After waking up and seeing on the Twitter that the game went into OT, YHC knew the chances of a large PAX were slim. As we gathered around the circle to warm up, we could hear a faint cry/whimper in the distance. […]
At Least Its Not Cold!!!
So YHC was torn as to what to do this morning at RAM. Since its the first RAM of the year YHC considered 1st RAM/ Worst RAM and repeating one of the toughest RAM workouts I had been to in the last year. The one that came to mind was when Abe’s son I believe […]
