Valentine’s Day Massacre

Madness has officially descended upon the Northshore PAX.  At first, it was easy to blame Captain Sparkles and Bushwacker, who, like tyrannical taskmasters, drove the PAX to run ever-increasing distances.  But eventually we must all shoulder the blame for the insanity, with Shooter, EiEi, and YHC taking things a step …

The Mande Monkey-Humpers

Our regularly scheduled Saturday foreplay became irregular this morning, with both Shooter and Bushwacker respecting the time a little too much, misremembering the start time as 0600 rather than 0610.  A bewildered Tanked Up watched from his car as PAX would randomly show up and take off in different directions.  This …

Super Bowl Saturday

A little foreplay, a short disclaimer and then off to the races this morning on Super Bowl Saturday. 52 reps of Seal Jacks, Mountain Climbers and Imperial Walkers, all in cadence, for a warmup. Mosey to the first COP for: 10 count Al Gore, 10 copperhead squats, and 10 vertical …

Celebrity Q

The Inagural Northshore Krazy Ivan CSAUP went off as planned, sort of.  The Northshore …

Global Warming at the Gipper

Could not ask for a better morning with 9 bad ..ss F3 Warriors. Cold stopped no one this morning. Simply made for a great experience with the friendship thanks to F3.   Warmup–we shot through 13 exercises with highlighted Side Straddle Hops where as 1 man at a time bounced …

Winter Soldiers

Knowing that it was going to be cold on the Mandeville Lakefront this morning, YHC cast about late Friday for an appropriate pearl of wisdom to drop on the PAX.  Almost instantly, Thomas Paine’s immortal words from the American Revolution came mind: These are the times that try men’s souls.  …

Return at the Gipper

Returning to the Gipper on this Gloom without the beanies and mittens also produced the return of Grundy and Moby from IR. Welcome back F3 brothers. While the PAX on the the Northshore have many AOs to choose, if your QIC had a choice of only (1) F3 beatdown  by …
