ER I’ve missed you
It has been a minute since I have been to the great AO that is called ER. I don’t know if it has been not wanting to get up on Mondays or the reason that I tell myself “my legs are tired after doing a long run Sunday afternoon”. Regardless those are both bad excuses […]
Defrosting is a MUST!
Weather: Well Powder wasn’t there so you tell me… Thang: Start off with some SSH, the Humpy, Alternating Toe Touch, and IST Do a little partner mosey to the bottom of Hospital Hill. Partner 1 does 5-star jumps while partner 2 runs. Catch partner 2 then you run they do star jumps. Get to […]
Streakin through the Quads
Without being in tune with the ER Q schedule, this morning was a surprise to everyone including the QIC. YHC has a friend from Chattanooga named Steam Engine. Quick story about SE; He is a bad man…..with quads like steel barrels. He lives his life inspired by the movie “Miracle” where in 1980 the underdog, […]
3rd Ave Strikes Again
Weather: Too warm for this guy. In fact, I’m still sweating from Saturday. Thang: Warmups. Pretty standard really. Mosey down 3rd Ave turn right on Road to Bottom of Oakwood Cemetery. At least that was the plan. About 20 steps into that mosey I heard several Are you ok?s followed by some You sure?s. Looked […]
ER: I can’t quit you
By now, if you’ve read one of my ER backblasts, you already know that this AO has a special place in my heart. I won’t go into the why, how, or when on this one. Do me a favor and just don’t tell my M about my love of dirty, skanky, parking lots ok? Fuse […]
Stairs, BLIMPS, Repeat

70 degrees and it was amazing!
11 men showed up this morning to try and get a good workout in before it got too hot. The problem was that it was already 70 degrees at 5:30 this morning. As I sat down Sunday night and started to contemplate what I was going to do for my Q the following morning I […]
Return to the ER
Conditions: Perfect Warm-up: ATT, Humpy’s, SSH Thang: A big squarish rectangular “new” ER. Start at bottom of Hospital Hill, run to the top for Squats. Run to top of parking deck and lunge walk (modified to halfway only) across the top. Run to the flag for Merkins then to TerraDotta corner for low plank jacks. […]
ER. As in horriblest workout evER.
ER: some love her, some hate her. Most hate her. She’s ugly. She’s big. There’s a creepy empty house behind her that looks like the end scene from Blair Witch Project. She’s filled with crap (literally). Old diapers. Cigarette butts. Moving cars going up. Then there’s the Free Candy van coming down. Don’t forget the […]
