11 Pax posted in the very gloomy gloom for “some” hills. Even though the hilly adventure was somewhat abbreviated (one could blame YHC for launching 2 minutes late), the average elevation gain was 200-250 feet across 4.5 miles. Route below: https://www.strava.com/routes/2734210985777820152 Moleskin: It was good to see some familiar faces and some newer faces out […]

Two Types of Runs
Or “Da-Rona? How about Da-rrhea?” Three faithful posted in the gloom to get the weekend started off right. @Sterling and @Pleasure arrived at Tradition at 5:30 to begin the first route. Somewhere along the Rollercoaster, @Landlord came zooming along out of the gloom, as he does on some occasions, and joined the PAX. @Pleasure and […]
Stacks of Black Jacks
Five faithful posted at Davis Lake for YHC’s first Q in a good long while. It was good to see @Blowout, making an appearance while on IR. @2Step apologized profusely for fartsacking (although he ran by himself, anyway!) on The Valley’s cruise the day before, and the PAX got into the bootcamp without further ado! […]
Muggy Mid-Week Mosey
Three Pax posted in the gloom for a moderately-strenuous mosey at The Valley. The route was changed last-minute due to rain the night before. @Urlacher ran through his cold and showed the virus what’s what. @Sterling made sure that the other two were aware that he wasn’t about to stop making excuses (though he continues […]
Two for One
Two faithful posted for The Valley’s Saturday Cruise and logged one route totaling 4 miles. Route was recycled from 2018 by the Q. Launching from Tradition, the two made their way through the gloom and enjoyed a good bit of 2nd-F while clocking a decent pace. @Pleasure talked @Blip’s ear off about new accounting pronouncements […]
A Very Merry Un-burpee-day
Seven men posted in the gloom for a workout that involved a total of 0 burpees. It’s not as though burpees are the only difficult exercise out there… @R2D2 and @Pleasure arrived in the pre-gloom for the pre-run and enjoyed some good 2nd F. Warm-o-rama Side-straddle-hop 15x, IC Imperial Storm Trooper 10x, IC Air Squat […]

Davis Lakers Q-ing The Valley??? Part 1
It was a simple enough route, and five men showed up in the gloom to improve their speed. Started at Corvian Community School, straight out towards Wellington on the greenway and back. @Brutus called an audible to switch from 1 minute intervals to 2 minute intervals with one minute resting. YHC thought that sounded challenging, […]
June ’17 Murph Monday
Six men posted for Davis Lake’s June 2017 Murph Monday in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy. This workout is held on the last Monday of every month to honor those who have fallen in the line of duty and to keep in our thoughts and prayers those who are currently in harm’s way. The […]
Merry Muggy Monday Morning
Yeah, it was pretty muggy outside from the copious amounts of rain the night before. But five men posted in the gloom for The Valley’s Velocity training – this week being hills. @Brutus, @Dingo, and @Gentle Grizzly all ran to Corvian Community School and put in an extra two-ish miles doing so. The official route […]
