  • Inspired By an Economist

    Inspired by Greenspan’s invigorated Flatline beatdown from the day before, Cherry Pie planned a non-stop, no 10-count, no let-up 45 minute stream of continuous fun. No surprise…the PAX showed up & took it all in stride.  It went something like this…. “Warm-a-Rama”   Lap 1 – medium pace Lap 2 – 75% pace Side Straddle…

  • Mayhem at Mayhem

    YHC was both honored and intimidated when brother Zima offered the keys to Mayhem.  Having Q’d it once before, Cherry Pie admits to a bit of AO discombobulation.  While the AO is expansive, it is also fragmented, dark and unwieldy in places.  YHC even took the time to assess the lay of the land via daylight hours…

  • Abs, Laps & 4 Corners

    Is there such thing as beating down a beatdown?  If so, that is what Cherry Pie witnessed this morning.   No other way to describe it.  6 bold pax manhandled what the Q thought was a man-sized,  respectable, Flatline worthy, 45 minutes of pain.   Back to the drawing board! The morning went something like this….. Lap…

  • Neighborhood Night Watch?

    Out of true respect & admiration for the WIB site Q, YHC chose a familiar AO a stone’s throw from his (Thistle’s) bedroom.  The pax was gravely disappointed when 6:15 arrived and he and his loyal sidekick Root Canal were nowhere to be seen.  The surprise of the morning – at least pre-beatdown – was the…

  • Copyrighted Cardboard

    With Van Gogh’s lower extremities on IR (while his upper body remains in full beatdown mode!), Cherry Pie tried to do his part and substitute-Q on the last fly.  Following another epic Goofy cardboard beatdown on Tuesday at Flatline, YHC thought he would push the easy-button and borrow one of said cardboards from the man…

  • All Star Cast

    Not only had Cherry Pie never Q’d Village Idiocy, he had never stepped foot on the premises. Thus, a Sunday afternoon scouting run revealed a rather large & plentiful AO, ripe with opportunity.  However, CP later found that he had exhausted his entire store of creativity in preparing for a hearty Mother’s Day celebration. Mama…

  • Total Body WIB

    The great thing about WIB is that one (meaning a singular pax) never knows what he is going to get.  AO?  Mano y Mano with Zima?  Running intensive?  Boot camp oriented?  Let’s agree that there are some unknowns.  Thus, yhc was honored to see a number of pax gathered for this morning’s WIB beatdown.  While…

  • Hospitality is Optional?!

    Many moons ago YHC accepted a warm & very personal invitation from Zima to Q at Mayhem.  While not Cherry Pie’s normal Wednesday AO, he accepted this kind gesture without hesitation.  After many long weeks of anticipation, D-day finally arrived.  Admittedly, YHC came in a little hot (0528) and without AO familiarity, but based upon…
