Challenges at Golden Corral
Finishing my Golden Corral Q a week late with this backblast. Late sub Q for NASA. Late tweet evening before. But arrived early at GC to set up cones for 2 loops, a smaller inner loop and larger outer loop. Had to…

Disrupting 12 days???
As I type this up, I realize that copy and pasting right after the workout would have been a very easy task but I decided to wait but build up the suspense....or something like that. At the Swamp gathering, we divided…

Nothing but Poopdeck
I have been skipping Thursday's of late because I almost always work from home that day and have been choosing to sleep in a bit and go for a run as a change of pace so it was nice to come back here. I believe the…

Capture the Dodgeball Bear Crab Crawl
Not feeling well and with three Qs in four days, YHC almost requested a substi-Q, but decided against it. Knowing I would need to be up and moving for the Wednesday Q Source launch, what better way to guarantee my…

Balls of Gloom, Inaugural Edition
With a new year, YHC wanted to try something new at Quagmire. I’ve been tossing around ideas, and having some sort of benchmark workout – like the Board of Pain – that is straightforward to work through but also a good…

Laces In - Going Out
A bit of cool rain couldn't keep the 8 LacesIn pax in the fartsack this morning. Thankfully, it was 52 degrees and not 32 degrees. Fearing the bubble over Fort Mill wouldn't hold up, YHC planned a workout under…

New Years Eve at the Crows Nest
I had myself slotted to Q on Christmas Eve, which happens to be YHC's birthday, but because of the convergence I wasn't able to Q on that day so I settled for New Years Eve. It was a light crowd on the rainy New Years…
SLOW BURN · DEC 28, 2018
Soggy Slow Burn
Today started out like any other typical slow burn, rainy and cold (or so it seems)! That didn't deter four HIM from braving the elements and getting better in three aspects of life (physically, mentally, and…
BLOCK PARTY · DEC 18, 2018
Something About Mary
7 Pax posted in a gloom that turned out a bit frostier than forecast. The Senator T Thermostat proved that it wasn't too cold for shorts, but YHC wasted little time with Disclaimer, etc so we could get moving without…

Don't Skip Leg Day
For whatever reason, YHC has taken to running on Tuesdays (what??) and therefore has not posted to Golden Corral in several months. It was nice to get back to the first non-running AO to which I posted. Something like…

Pre-Paintheon Games @CrowsNest
Well since the great #HIMs that frequent the #CrowsNest were probably not going to make the trip to the Badgers Den for logistical challenges I felt it was my duty as a #HIM in training to give it away. Full disclosure…

Santa's Trip 2.0
Similar to the last Santa Trip in terms of exercises and idea, however we changed from a 4 corner style workout to a run-around-stop-somewhere-and-exercise type of workout. What would you call it? Mosey to North Pole…

Fantastic 4 at the Triangle
4 Pax (Two Ferns, Homebrew, Respectable Olaf and Radar) joined YHC for a wet and chilly time at the Bermuda Triangle. At first it was just me and Homebrew so after a quick but thorough disclaimer we began our mosey but…

Intentional COTs
YHC was honored when asked to Q a workout at Slow Burn. This is my first time taking the lead at this long time AO in The Fort Region. Thank you to Smithers and the other 6 PAX for joining YHC on this chilly wet…

Footloose for a Post 1/2 Marathon "no-running" Bootcamp

THE BALLROOM · DEC 11, 2018
The Ballroom: Picking up the 6.....all 6 of us!
1 is the loneliest number.... but then there were 2 and eventually 6 of us came to the Ballroom for our daily red pill. Was a cool morning but not crazy cold. The Ballroom is usually loaded with PAX but i guess the…

The Ruck Taper That Wasn't...Here at the Fire Ant
Oh, you didn't tote a ruck and join us at the Fire Ant this morning? But, you know how to read. Lucky you; you'll feel as if you joined us in this perfect gloom. Well, aside from smoked shoulders, jail-breaks, curls…

What is weighing you down?
Four men showed up on a cold morning at Pantheon. The question today was "What is weighing you down?" The holiday season usually exacerbates the things that are weighting us down. Whether it be struggling with finances…
