The Usual Suspects

The usual suspects rolled in from the Gloom at their usual times this morning, Maverick hitting the tarmac just in time to join the warmup of dynamic stretching exercises up and down the fake train platform at the Covington trailhead:  lateral SSHs, lunges with a twist, lateral lunges, a variety …

3 down and 1 to go!!!

With coupon assistance provided by the Northshore’s unquestionable leader Turbo, 7 men posted at the Gipper this Gloom to complete week 3 of F3 Greenwood’s ISI challenge… By far this weeks challenge in the mind and body of the YHC has proven to be the toughest.. But like any other …
