Well – 5 years later we are still going STRONG! I remember when we started thinking I don’t have time in my life for this group. After a week of beatdowns I knew that we had to commit to growing this group – it had already begun to change my …

These warm, thick, moist ( I said it) Southern mornings seem to stretch in front of and behind us without variation. It’s unmistakable. That feeling, the transition, of stepping from your front door (that sweet clean cool conditioned air) into the physical force of warm jell-o that is the south. …
A typical summer (in October?) morning with an atypical lack of a breeze coming off the lake led to a lovely humid morning in the gloom. 13 PAX joined me for a little prep workout for the upcoming H8 in 2 weeks. Disclaimer was given and off we went around …

YHC arrived at the AO a little early to put some miles in to continue preparing for the half marathon coming up in October. After 2 miles, YHC made it back to the flag to see what other Pax were there. Upon finding only Hokie Pokey, it was decided we …
The first known 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event occurred on September 11, 2003 during “Operation Enduring Freedom” in Parwan Province, Afghanistan.
