QIC: PapaJohn PAX: @Othello, @ FireBrand, @HuggyBear, @Exit54, @ Zin, @PapaJohn The Thang: Run the Pitchfork (everyone knows the route) or any other direction you’d like.

Pre-vacation Kettle Bells
WHEN: 07/22/2022 QIC: PapaJohn PAX: TarTar, Deadhead, Hacksaw, Escalade, PapaJohn Small crowd for kettlebells this week. Seems to have been a small group for every workout the last few weeks. I had to get one last workout in before the beach next week, so the ladies will have something to look at (even if it […]
What are you doing here?!
Date: 6/29/2022 PAX: Clueless, Exit 54, Dud, Bearclaw, Banjo Boy, Papa John Q: Papa John 5 runners and one cyclist were out putting in work on the pitchfork (or some variation thereof) this morning. Strong work by everyone, despite the humidity. One runner, eager to unseat a legend, got quite a shock during his early […]
A good day for forking
21 men showed up for the Pitchfork, as we near the end of it’s 2021 running. Quick explanation of the route: Down French Fields from the pool house. Back up to Burnage Hall and take a left Left on Houndslow. Run to the end and back to Burnage Hall. Turn right on Burnage Hall and […]
The “F” does not mean Fashion
13 men came out for a brisk morning workout, while the rest of their family members were likely still sleeping. I may, or may not, be bitter about the rest of the family “sleeping in.” Warm-Up: Mosey over to parking lot near main entrance to school for a quick disclaimer. Side Straddle Hops x 20 (IC) Imperial […]
Candy Crush can wait…
A little bit of a late start at this morning’s acceleration. Just before bagging the workout and typing up the greatest fish-tale backblast in speed work history, in rolls two pax. I guess Candy Crush can wait, time to get to work. Warm-up: 1 mile The Thang: 400 meters fast pace 400 meters easy pace […]

The Thang: Depart from the old Sports Junction on Main St toward Roberta. Left on Roberta Right on Hwy 49 Right on Morehead Right on Rocky River Crossing Right on Roberta Left on Carl […]
Party of Two
With most of the runners in Harrisburg at the BRR, only 2 men made it to the track to get a little faster this morning. There was disagreement over whether the cooler temps were on the verge of chilly or just right, but it didn’t matter. We still put in the work. Warm-up: 1 mile […]
Return to Town Center
5 men were ready for the return of Road Warrior to Town Center this morning. It seems we were all ready to get away from the hills of Abbington’s Devils Trident. The Thang: Depart from the old Sports Junction on Main St toward Roberta. Left on Roberta Right on Hwy 49 Right on Morehead Right […]
Slowest Man Getting Faster
For a minute this morning, I thought I was going to be the fastest man on the track. Then, the Pax showed up. 5 Pax put in a lot of effort to make themselves faster this morning. Proving, once again, YHC is the slowest man at Acceleration. WARMUP 800 meters After a quick disclaimer about not being […]
