Downpour with Roxanne at Laces In
This morning was supposed to be very wet, and again the Weather professionals got it wrong. Knowing the anticipated challenges, I prepared a weinke that would allow for a covered area. And….not a drop of rain. Had to…

Let's Make a Deal at The Armory
10 PAX decided to take the challenge and show up on a balmy morning. NO FNG’s, disclaimer disclosed and off we went. Mosey went probably further than some PAX would have wished but wanted to switch up a little bit…

Bell In The Ring
On Friday, I had the opportunity to Q The Hive, a Kettle Bell workout that has developed the history of being a great, body-challenging, way to end your work week. Under no circumstances was I going to let that change…

Presidential Day Massacre at the Armory
The weather mostly held out with a few spitting showers but good mumble chatter by the 11 pax on this cold and wet morning. It was a morning filled with maybe a little too many facts our presidents but it was a good…

A Day to Remember...Showing our respect at the Hive
December 7, 2018 41st President 2403 men lost 77 years ago I had thought about what I wanted to accomplish here all week. Did I want to stay in the comfort zone? Just get through a workout on a cold morning. I decided…
BLOCK PARTY · NOV 27, 2018
Too cold for a TOGA at Block Party
There was quite the bite in the air on this Fall morning. A little different than the balmy 55-degree weather the day before. PAX rolled in and everyone looked very excited to get rolling. Quick disclaimer for the Vets…

No stinkin' rain at The Armory!
Having been in a Thanksgiving hangover after spending most of it on the road, the commitment I had made to Q the Armory on Monday was not even a thought. That is until, I got the DM from JWOW at 2pm on Sunday…

Can we just get along?
Life is not always how we thought nor visioned it would be. There are a lot of personal experiences YHC could pull from, but as I reflect back to our COT, who would have thought that we would have another mass shooting…
COLOSSEUM · AUG 28, 2018
Good times at the Colosseum

Did someone say party @ Laces In...
Woke up this morning to a cool breeze which helped me forget the stiffness I felt from my first post the day before at Clydesdale’s. 13 PAX showed up for the party and ready to work. Disclaimer and off we went Warm-ups…
SLOW BURN · JUL 6, 2018
Crazy 8s - It can be that bad, right?
31 Pax descended upon Slow Burn for an epic adventure. A #noderate workout plus high humidity had been promised and both were granted on this day. Personally, YHC loves what the Pax have done in creating moderate…

If you build it, they will come..
The weather forecasts leading up to Slow Burn showed what could have been a soggy outing. In preparation, I made sure I had not one, but two Weinke's prepared for the PAX. One bringing back a popular game from College…

Pantheon for a little...soccer?
12 PAX showed up on a perfect morning to join me at the Pantheon. This being my first Q at this AO, waited for the arrivals to decide on the workout. With a good strong group, team-building won. After introductions…

Someone Say Blackjack
**Posted on behalf of Frat Boy** Had a lot planned for my first solo Q at LACESIN and barely made it through half of it. I guess that’s what happens when you’re having fun playing Blackjack. Small strong group showed up…

4 years in gets you a VQ
I've been a part of this F3 Workout thing that really seems to be much more than a workout, especially in our large but tight-knit group in The Fort/Rock regions. I've been a regular at the bootcamps, an occasional…

No cutting corners
The PAX started to arrive around 5:05, most in cars but some on foot (Sir Topham Hat & Nomad). And they just kept coming! It was the biggest crowd (22) that YHC has seen in a while and it was nice to see as it has felt…
