If you're on the fence about posting tomorrow because you need some rest to get the week started. I get that, rest is important (just not tomorrow) to the overall health of the human body. I've planned a bunch of resting and a little lifting at BIG MO tomorrow. If you're afraid to run 10Continue reading "2/2 BIGMO HEAVY at VETS!!!!!!!!"

North Posh has traditionally been the run-heavy AO and I’m going to respect that tradition. The rain will be a welcome part of the workout tomorrow because we will not stop the entire time, and it will help keep you cool. We will also be staying in formation so no man will be left behind;Continue reading "North Posh – LePew Q – 3-2-2020"

It felt good to get back out in the gloom on Thursday after a few weeks off. My body tells me otherwise, but that’s nothing new really. Weather was a little chilly but not terrible.

So on Leap Day if a man turns down a marriage proposal from a woman tradition states you have to pay a penalty. I have no idea what that has to do with my workout tomorrow but thought I’d share. I’m sure there are some eligible bachelors at the Mutt so beware. Anyway tomorrow’s workoutContinue reading "Preblast-Pelican Q The Hurt @ The Mutt 2.29.2020"
