It was a cold, chilly morning. So YHC decided to get up early and run sprints on top of the A1C. I sprinted the long path, walked the short. It was good to get the heart rate up. I was happily surprised to see Moby show up a bit early. …
Veterans Day originally was known as Armistice Day. Hostilities between Allied and German forces in World War I officially ceased at 1100 on November 11, 1918. Appropriate enough, 11 PAX gathered in the Gloom this morning at The Gipper to remember our Veterans. After a warmup of 11 Seal Jacks, …
The inquiries started as soon as Steve announced the 3rd semi-annual Northshore H8! in his weekly e-mail blast. Would YHC get it right this year? Couched in the politest terms possible, the PAX wanted to know. So after reassuring everyone who asked that yes I knew what I was doing …
It was quite nice in the gloom this morning when YHC and Grover arrived to a cool 65 degrees and a clean Milestone Marsh. We noticed that the picnic tables had been moved to the far side of the fence, something I’ve never witnessed before. That would be the beginning …
Rinse, Lather, Repeat Okay, so 4 straight days of softball until 9 each night, running 5 miles the night before, and Katie’s 40th birthday. These are all the reasons why I came unprepared this morning to the A1C. However, Tabata is always a great workout, especially when you still have …

Arrived at the Gipper in the low 50s ready to throw the PAX a day of strength training and speed intervals. With numbers posting in the mid to upper double digits these last few months YHC anticipated no difference. However, as stated by Turbo upon his return with the prethang …
It was just a suggestion, an idea. Wear costumes for Halloween, simple, right. Lesson learned, never give Bushwacker a heads up. For him, nothing can ever be simple. The costumes were great. Water pick as Street Fighter/karate kid , Zoolander as Johnny from cobra kai, bushwackers ridiculously tight minion pants, …
I had a new routine ready for the Pax this morning, but it being wet and humid, and me not wanting to get my Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit smudged, I decided to go with some old stuff. Warmup IC: Side Straddle Hops, Good Mornings, Smurf Jacks, Toe Touches, High Knees, …
