Laces Out with an angry Q---but there was Watermelon!!
So Sir Topham hat passed the Q to YHC and I do like the track, but felt we needed some off campus work....sort of. So I thought about hitting Kinsley and maybe the deck, but felt that was not right. So I remembered a…

Burn off those Dogs!

A Little Hoglet and a Coyote Pup
For some reason, life, work, grind, whatever I just wasn't feeling it for the 4th annual running of the Hog and Coyote CSAUP. Then I found out I was scheduled to Q at the Fort, so my decision to forego H&C was…

The Hive 2017.15
Seacrest and I spoke about a lot of things, mostly about how much Peabody sucks. I'm just kidding, we both think he's superfresh. Seacrest is the one that sucks cause he can't post a backblast when you ask him to Q even…

Arming each other at the Armory
10 men arrived for a Chicken Hawk stand in Q for Assassin while he is bicoastal. It was less than impromptu but plenty of opportunities to modify. The Message: - What areas of your life do you have a hard time…

The Moderate Colosseum
Several weeks ago, I got this message from the Colosseum Site Q, Seacrest: "Hey Max, would you be up for Qing the Colosseum 3/28?" I thought to myself for about 2 seconds about all the reasons I may not be able to Q as…

Struggling with core (and at the core)
10 Pax posted at The Ranch on Thursday Jan 19 for a ride out to the foothills and a morning dose of core-focused pain. It was looking a little lonely when Skinny Jeans sitting in his truck was the sole arrival a few…

Cards with the Romans
It was a privilege to be invited back to the Colosseum on this brisk Tuesday morning to lead 15 other men in what has become a painful favorite of mine. The Twitter-teasing began a day early and you have to be extremely…

Triple Lindys at the Abyss
YHC answered the call for Zima to Q at the Abyss. Having wanted but never been there, had to scout out the day before. Lots of open space at Palisades Park Elementary (and well lit). Ideas started popping in my head…
RING OF FIRE · NOV 16, 2016
Trespassing at the Coop
10 Pax rolled up to the Coop- clean minds and to my assumption clean records until Disclaimer was proclaimed at 0515 and we mosied down AO Jones Blvd to the access road across from the Greenway and up to the NAFO…

More than 5 Alive with Panther pounding at The Deep
YHC apologizes to the 11 PAX at the Deep for the delayed backblast, but thanks them another opportunity to lead at a Lake Wylie AO. The PAX started arriving early on a brisk (never say cold) morning to get in a little…
