My return to my home base, Okwata, was exciting since I haven’t been here since the Murph in May. I know this AO always offers the potential for the toughest workouts between the elements and structures/obstacles offered. I was excited to know that there was no Q on the sheet …
Tclaps to Amnesty for getting this trail run idea started back during the beginning of Covid. Here we go for round #2! Stayed up late trying to plan a workout in a space with a lot of unknowns. Then, naturally, my youngest woke up at 2:30. The fear of oversleeping …
The Swolefest AO is a great place to start off the week. Throwing around the cinderblock is a good way to get the blood pumping and the body moving. Today was no different. When 5:30am hit, I issued the disclaimer and then we proceeded with the warmup: WarmUp: Side straddle …
Somewhat muddy day at Okwata with 5 PAX: Jingle Vader, Surge, Saban, Highrise, and Catfish (Q). Moseyed out to the shore area for a warmup with SSH, Windmills, and Grass Grabbers. Moved on to some Bat wings, then got some Imperial Squat Walkers in. Got things rev’d up with 10 …
Like many of you, I’ve taken to reading and following David Goggins, whose story is both inspirational and at times, crushingly real. I won’t spoil any of it – the book is well worth the 20 bucks. One of Goggins’ guiding principles is the concept of going to war with …
Lovely morning on the lake with 8 PAX: Quiche, Jingle Vader, Da Parish, Bongo, Surge, High Rise, Abacus, Catfish (Q). Started with a mosey over to the base of Canal. Warmed up with SSH, 8-counts, Peter Parker Peters, Shoulder Taps, 100s, Slow V-Ups, Catalinas, Floyds, SSH, and Imperial Squat Walkers. …
YHC signed up for the Ocean Springs Bridge Run on September 12th in Mississippi, so he wanted to practice running some bridges. The best place to practice bridge running is the Wisner Bridge. Therefore, this morning’s 610 Stomp was off to the bridge! New Route Down past the Museum of …
Four years ago in the gloom of the Peristyle, YHC was EHed by Heisenberg to check out this men’s only fitness group. Bubba’s Beatdown was all it took to keep YHC coming back for more. What better way to celebrate my anniversary than to recycle my first Q, which was …
Another 610 Stomp in the books…the 260th one to be exact-ish. Strong showing with 14 PAX ready to run and test the limits of our middle-ages chassis. This was the 3rd Summer Series 2-mile time trial, with several of us gunning to break our previous times, and perhaps set a …
I was on the drive home from Florida when I realized that I had the Q on Monday morning for swolefest. I had a lot on my mind as I was thinking about my dad and who he was and what he meant to me. I wanted to offer a …
