Thanks to work and vacation travel, YHC has been out the gloom routine for a couple of weeks. While away, YHC lived vicariously through the PAX Asheville Spartan updates on Slack. In particular, the tire flip (an obstacle I never had the privilege to attempt) peaked my interest. The muddy conditions made it damn near impossible […]
In preparation for the Chapel Hill GoRuck Tough Challenge, I signed up for the Pathfinder Endure (This is the intermediate level. There is also “Forward,” the intro level, and “Advanced,” for the experienced “Big Dogs” out there) program. https://pathfinderrucktraining.com/. For those interested in getting some solid ruck training, I recommend this program highly. I felt […]
A number of souls warmed up with an EC ruck in the early morning summer gloom, and Green Acres made a special road trip with FNG Coxswain. Coxswain is your guy if you are out to sea with a dashed engine an only a pair of oars. Thanks for joining, men! Coxswain, we hope to […]

Plugging back into Slack after a quiet Father’s Day weekend, YHC saw a message from Beano asking for someone to Answer The Bell and Q The Eagle this morning. YHC stared at it for a minute and thought about giving it some time to see if another PAX would jump on it. After all, YHC […]
Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have given their lives to protect our country. It is easy to take for granted the myriad freedoms we enjoy each day. We often live our lives exercising such tunnel vision that we forget what got us here, we forget history, and our memory of what […]

MLP, Avalanche, and YHC met up at 0500 for a 5K before the main event. We kept a hard conversational pace, and had a great sprint up Kinsale to close it out. YHC’s plan for his Bull Q has been coming together nicely. YHC found some new exercises that should lead to a good […]
