Like a VQ

PAX arrived at Granny’s, weather warm, shovel flag limp in the breezeless gloom. Much talk of aching trapezius on account of @grundy’s Bearcrawlapalooza. Pik reminded The PAX of YHC’s much celebrated lack of attendance of late by suggesting that this was YHC’s VQ. You know, I’ve always thought that the …

(Erotic?) Dreams of TurboTax, Mowing Grass, Wherethehellissparkles, and a Pair of New Shoes

That pretty much says it all….   Start off with COT as is reasonable and customary at the Captain’s Cove.   Good mumblechatter this morning with a couple of great guys.  Whacker seemed particularly pumped up this morning, detailing the twisting, turning story of his dream that included our very …

Krazy Ivan 2018

The events depicted in this Backblast are completely stupid and utterly pointless.  Any similarity to events which are neither stupid nor pointless is purely coincidental.   No animals were harmed in the running of the Krazy Ivan. The Inagural Northshore Krazy Ivan CSAUP went off as planned, sort of.  The Northshore …

10K Plus

I am not certain if it is uncouth, unbecoming, untoward, crass, or a violation of the F3 chapter in Emily Post’s Etiquette, but what follows is a backblast of an officially unofficial workout which will hopefully very shortly hereafter become an officially official workout at the recently dubbed CAPTAIN’S COVE.   …

Newton, Euclid, Archimedes, Gauss, Descartes, Pythagoras

What these men have in in common with each other, they most assuredly do not have in common with the Northshore Pax.  More on that later. Pre-Pre-Thang.  0600 Ei’s personal goal of running 20 miles this week crept its way into the F3 workout this Saturday.  Our normal Pre-Thang 2 …

Ocho is the loneliest number, and other Holiday musings

Pax arrived at the predetermined place and time. Ocho must have thought the workout begins at ocho o’clock-o or something. After a couple minutes courtesy wait, the pax, sans Ocho, departed city hall on a new, mysterious and exploratory route into the gloom. No silly stuff today, just a good ole …

Tunnel of Pain, Re-Revisited

Those among us, who may indeed be few, familiar with a certain Metallica E.P. released in 1987 may appreciate the title aptly given to this workout.  For those who are not… “I GOT SOMETHIN’ TO SAY!!!….” Prologue: Mosey to fake bus stop for: Fondas left side x 20, Wife Pleasers x 10, …
