Thirteen mostly “seasoned” pax showed up for TRQ — translation: there were a lot of old guys there. When Goofy at 56 is median age, it’s an experienced group. The weather was nearly ideal and the moon was close to full, like the hearts of the pax with love for their Q — nah, they…
Ten pax showed up under ideal conditions in the gloom for a non-stop, old school, Flatline beatdown and were not disappointed. Here is how the workout went: Run south on Cherry, west on 1st, north on Marshall back to start for some SSHs. (All Exercises in cadence except for squat jumps, burpees, and at the…
Football was theme for this workout that was not too hard on the body but may have been tough on the egos. THE THANG: Warm-o-rama SSH, Imperial Walkers, Mountain Climbers, Copperhead Squats, Running with Scissors, Peter Parkers, Toy Soldiers, and Hillbillies, all in a crisp cadence. Cornerback drills in parking lot through about 15 spaces…
Here is the plan — FIRST — please bring gloves and park only on the Yorkshire Road side of the parking lot, leaving the other side (toward the playground) for my truck or Highlander. Counter-clockwise rotation, once together and then as fast as you want to go. At playground — 10 supine pull-ups; that is,…
Someone made a mistake and invited me to Q Urban Assault. I am old and lately out of shape, and I generally run Tractors on Fridays, BUT I love the dudes at UA and the AO is unique. While considering the AO, somehow I focused on the stairs from 4th ST up to the Long…
This was YHC’s first visit to the original Monday morning workout in the Dash in a couple of years. This remains a great AO full of gritty, seasoned veterans. You know, old people.

Fifteen men rolled into #RNG with a pleasant 43 degrees and some humidity but no rain. ‘BoutTime let the Q know that he was running only, as he had a very important date with his daughter at a spin class at 0630. Then we set off. By the time we turned off Knollwood onto Biting,…
27 men found their fountain of youth in early morning moonlit skies with soft wisps of clouds, cool temps in the mid-50s, and relatively short and flat routes. The Q got compliments on both the routes and the weather, but had a hand in only one category; but, of course, YHC took credit for both….
