My "Deep" Q
With Friday's rain finally behind us, 5 PAX got together at the Deep on a soggy, cool, Saturday morning. I gave practically no disclaimer, since we're all regulars, and decided to take a mosey around the parking lot…

What rain???
As 7 PAX entered The Hive on a rainy and cold Friday morning in the gloom, there was positive vibes in the air. After the disclaimer, we took off for a quick mosey and as we were running, we noticed that Quack Attack…

A Ring of Fire to Keep Jedi Warm
Oh man would it have been awesome to stay nice and cozy and warm in the fartsack this 'chilly' morning. And to think that in a month or so we would look back and say this was warm. But myself and four others decided to…

Double Booked? Nope, Double Beatdown.
Through no fault of anyone that I'm aware, the original Q for the Hive was double booked. Since I know that guy, the PAX probably got off easy with me filling in. Or maybe not. Disclaimer was disclaimed (didn't notice…

Pre-Michael Showdown at the Abyss
YHC didn't look at the weather forecast last night so it was a bit of a surprise walking outside this morning to the pouring rain. No big deal but had to audible a couple of things on the weinke. One thing I love about…

Reunion Tour @ The Tomahawk
If we go back to Summer 2017... I was EH’d to The Tomahawk by Dark Helmet and Bird Cage. It happened while helping Sharknado move in just down the street. My interest was peaked, so I gave it a try. It was awesome, but…

Triangle of Doom or some other ominous name that is not the same name as another AO (Bermuda)
Cool 67 degrees at the Colosseum. YHC (again) came in on two wheels. Luckily there were some hearty PAX ready to get to work. A Pre Blast Tweet went out to let folks know to expect running. Twitterless Green Wave…

Start and stop, repeat
Man it's been too long. Cha Ching set me up with the opportunity to Q at the SWAMP and I must say, I do miss that place. But then again, I think I say that with every AO I have the opportunity to Q at. So for this one…

Not much of a game, but a whole lot of suicides
So for some quick backstory, YHC had the Q at the Deep on 9/29, but was asked by our Nantan to be on of the Q's at the convergence at WEP. I was planning on doing a football themed workout there, but since I was losing…

Hit the Threshold
Lucky Seven Stallions showed up for a long overdue track session. My personal opinion is that we don't do enough structured running workouts... my goal is to try to remedy that. Here's what we did: - Very easy warm up…
