Some days the only thing driving YHC to get up before 5AM are the three Fs. Emphasis on the fellowship. So when a humble request went out last night to include at least some running from Bushwhacker, YHC modified what he had planned to fulfill said request, looking forward to …
Hammer hit us with an interesting study (from Harvard, no less!) yesterday at the Scramble: middle aged men who can do 40 pushups in one attempt have a 96% reduced risk of suffering from heart disease over the next 10 years. YHC had to look up the actual stats post-beatdown, …
Pik strolled up to the Scramble this morning to find a pax of 9 already huddled (and another with his weathered Charity sweatshirt coming in hot), and he wondered what the hell was going on. Then he remembered, oh yeah, IT’S FEBRUARY. That’s right, the second most wonderful time of …
Muggy and not cool this morning at Granny’s, as low 60s returned, as did the sweating for YHC. Jose was wrapping up his pre-thing run, all business-like and ready to kick some tail. Steve joined shortly thereafter. Reason number 104 to come out to Granny’s: to catch Steve coming out …
Warmer, if only for one day, pax of 3 for a Friday splash at the pad. Driving home from work Thursday, YHC may or may not have been “jamming” to some early 90s music, when the thought occurred that “man, this is definitely a guilty pleasure type of tune”, one …
As Jose noted, it was in the lower 60s this morning and breezy ahead of some potential rain. I figured Pelican was in to renew the Batman and Robin vibe of the pad, but who knew they would be joined in caped crusader crime fighting by Bird, Groupie, and Waterpik, …
45ish and wet as all get out, a slight modification was needed for this gloom. YHC can handle wet or cold, but not both. So instead of sloshing at the Shaft, we headed to Noah’s Ark for Grant’s Tomb. Ulysses S. Grant’s mug adorns our $50 bill, so we moseyed …
Chilly this morning with a stiff breeze that made it feel cooler than the 40 degrees on the thermometer. Warmup – 10x IC Arm circles SSHs Toe touches High knees Torso twists Cherry pickers Thang Walls of Jericho at the Treen Center (7 count of seven exercises 7 times around) …
Cool mid 30s this morning at Granny’s, where a Pax of 3 continued making 2024 better than 2023. Warmup (all IC, 10x – 20x) -Seal jacks -hillbillies -Arm circles -torso twists -self love -Toe touches -high knees Thang Pax knocked out the Deck of Death (exercise and count based on …
Good weather, maybe a little “brisk” at upper 30s, since YHC will never call it cold. Pax of 11 for some outstanding fellowship and putting in work (or paying the rent as I believe the Millenials like JV call it). Warmup (10x – 20x IC) – SSHs – Self love …
