AT40 – August, 1978

At last!!!  Cooler weather!  It may not last long, but Thursday AM offered a glorious respite from the usual August heat and humidity.  What more could one ask for – the chance to start the day with the Okwata levee, watching the sunrise over the lake, with an actually refreshing …

Muggy Monday

A guy messes up once, and he gets no sympathy.  I suppose it’s a good think to keep one accountable.  Thanks, Rudy.  So at exactly 5:30:00.00, YHC gave an excellently excellent disclaimer, and the PAX was off. First Circle of Pain: SSHs 30xIC Don Quixotes 20xIC Hill Billies 30xIC Peter …

49 +1 =

To celebrate becoming worthy of respect, YHC took the Q on his birthday.   After a questionable disclaimer we headed out.  The thang – 15 minutes out and back down Bayou St. John. returning to the track for speed work.    YHC had the pleasure of running alongside GRT IronHorse from …

19 for 11

Back from Canada after a weeklong hiatus, YHC was ready to get back in the saddle.  7 days is enough to enable one to forget just how oppressive August humidity can be in the south.  Feeling like a weakened northerner, unable to face the Southern Summer, YHC decided to dress the …

Stepping Up

Does a back blast need to be timely? Just needs to prove we did something. In every circle we talk about getting better, pushing ourselves and each other to get better. To be better husbands, fathers, and leaders. I hear it all the time. It’s great, Leadership is aspirational! But …

Blocks Under Your Tree

Workout Log Sat – 8/3/2018 18 men showed up well rested with normal Sat expectations for a good sweat….and the hint that gloves were recommended! Quick disclaimer – off for a mosey to our playground. Circle Up for WarmUp – keep is simple all in cadence x 16 4 count …

Deck of Animal House

July 28th, 1978.  A big date for all of us of a certain vintage. Yes, that’s right.  40 years ago today, Animal House made its debut.  YHC arrived at 6:20 to a moment of confusion.  “Dean Wormer” was there – and it took several minutes for the PAX to realize that …

Fartlekkers Rejoice

The Pax have been bringing their A game to the Stomp recently.  Multiple weeks of double digit counts and some all out effort have revitalized this legendary AO.  YHC had the good fortune to follow up a Rudy Q.  Surely I could make it over the low bar he had …

The Return of the Cusak

The Q wanted to make sure he was on time this morning so he did not give Rudy any additional reasons to harass the Q.   Was a nice, warm, and muggy morning as the PAX met at the normal spot for Rock City. A quick disclaimer and PAX moseyed …
