Hickory’s Inaugural Brew Ruck

OLD RAM
Tooth Fairy was out West doing his own workouts that included going down a mountain very fast on pieces of wood so he asked for a sub-Q. Not knowing the stomachbug was going to hit YHCs house over Christmas I volunteered. Feeling better Thursday night I didn’t have to ask for a sub sub-Q. I […]

Festivus Miracle? Naw B
Yesterday on the Twitters, I mentioned that today’s workout would be a celebration of Festivus, featuring feats of strength, an aluminum pole, and – everyone’s favorite – airing of grievances. Well, only one of those things ha happened, and I didn’t bring an aluminum pole w/ me so you can guess what it was. Conditions: […]
