Slow for the Burn
The gloom rain broke for 20 PAX as they explored some not-typically-traveled territory for a dose of Slowburn. As promised, not too much running was required for this "moderate intensity" workout. Rather, focus was set…

There wasn't any Running at Armory today....

Modified "Moderate" Murph
YHC posted on the twittermachine that we would be doing a modified "moderate" version of the famous (infamous) Murph workout. Real question is; Is there such a thing as a "moderate" Murph workout. Guess we will find…

Really? My Alarm went off?
18 PAX ventured out to Slowburn this fine morning. YHC had all week to plan and trash talk with the Swamp about how this AO was going to painful and that if you posted at the Swamp, you were chicken. Well from the…
