Mint Hills We started out as usual when Pantene showed up. YHC gave the traditional disclaimer and we moseyed to the memorial for warmup. SSH, Windmill, Penny Pickers, Imperial Troopers, and Arm Circles. With the upcoming Huntersville Half YHC decided to work on hills, even though there are no hills in the Huntersville Half according […]

Muggy Run Through Mint Hill
First real muggy run of the year. YHC set a simple route to 485 and back. For first time in a long time, no one was lost along the way and all 12 pax made it back to home base. Congrats to GinG on sub 9:30 pace, you boys up front might have some company […]
5 minute repeats
This mornings Q was a bit of a surprise as IDK decided to enjoy his prom night and thought it would best to have YHC lead so he could sleep in after a big night of dancing and whatever else happens at prom these days. We started as always when Pantene arrived. We had a […]
Simple Directions
This morning 10 Pax enjoyed a beautiful run/ruck through Mint Hill. The ruckers almost outnumbered the runners. Must be something to rucking that I have to try. Seems like all the cool kids are doing it. The directions were simple. Head up 51 and take a right on 218. If you make it to […]
Improv at the Vet
There’s the plan and there’s what happened. The plan was to spend the hour in the tennis courts. Unfortunately the courts were locked so we changed it up a bit. Started as always when Pantene showed up, known to others as 7am. Made an extraordinarily lousy disclaimer and off we went to warm up. Before […]
Rinse and Repeat
This morning was a simple rinse and repeat. Started with 7 Pax, 1 Rucker and a surprise visit from the Body to finish off the morning. Started with the typical lame disclaimer with plenty of interruption from a feisty Delta. Not sure how much coffee he had before coming out but he had plenty to […]
Cold Wet Hodgepodge
We enjoyed a wet cold morning today with a hodgepodge of activities. Arrived a few minutes early, Chum, Sparkplug and Toughskins were ready to go. Everyone started to file in with Pantene actually a whole minute early! We even had a last minute arrival of Sanctions. After the traditional lame disclaimer we moseyed to […]
Election Day Stress Reducer
YHC thought it would nice to have a stress-free out and back run. As Tuesdays usually go, there were lots of moving parts. Othello and Hot Corner working on rucking, Chum and Sparkplug, and Booyah missing the start. The plan was to head out down 51 toward Matthews for 23 min and back 22 min. […]
Taste of the 2020 Challenge
This was a sampling of the 2020 end of year challenge. We started with a mosey to the memorial and began with a quick warmup of SSH, Penny Pickers, windmills etc The Thang The workout was based taking a sample day from each month of the challenge. In all we did 100 Burpees, 230 Merkins, […]
Fall is coming
5 Pax took advantage of the first cool morning in a long time to mosey down 51. We took a right out of Harris Teeter and ran 23 min out and 22 min back. It’s good to do this type of run every few months to see just how far down 51 you can get. […]
