YHC signed up prior to looking at the future cast of weather. The previous Thursday Q, multiple PAX mentioned the potential of freezing and snow and it was then that I started to pay attention. With a few early commits, I figured it would be one of those epic beatdowns …
In my former life as an auditor, excluding the requisite beauty and brains, one of the attributes we were told we should have was “professional skepticism”: the ability to question what you see or hear and find the truth. With just a little more thought, I bet I could now …
Well, new year, same ol’ me. Still taking 24-48 hours to produce a backblast. My new year’s resolution: be more like Jose. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be too much like Jose – that would be exhausting and I’m not into jailbird cosplay. I’m also …
Taking the final beatdown of 2024, you had to know YHC would incorporate some type of relation to numbers.. And while I did learn there were 2 square roots to 25 thanks to our very own math genius Jose10k. I still stayed with my basic mathematics and picked 24 and …
Warm-up:ssh, grass grabbers, torso twists, imperial walkers, self love (all to Christmas Time in Hollis Queens). Where the first trivia question, who was John McClain’s limo driver?

Let me tell you about this morning’s workout from the perspective of Jose10k, who, mind you, wasn’t leading but set a personal goal with paxminer. The only way to achieve the goal is to get credit for the workout. First off, Jose10k, being the overachiever he is, strapped on a …
Yeah, I don’t know – I’m not spending 10 minutes racking my little brain for good title today. So it was a raucous start to the beatdown this morning, which was surprising considering both Russo and YHC were still half asleep when the gun went off. And that gun? Well, …
Muscle memory had me up early this morning, so YHC ran 2 miles before the beatdown. Of course there was music, classic soundtrack from American Pie inspired me to dance before the warm-up. It amused the guys. Simple warm-up- then to the tunnel……To the tunnel, are ya’ll crazy? Jose doesn’t …
Many a Northshore pax can tell you how often we’ve had a forecast of rain only to post and be pleasantly surprised at how narrowly we avoided it. I can’t tell you how many near misses I’ve had over the years. But Tuesday was not one of those days. Jose …
