Date: 07/29/25
Location: The Overpass Tunnel
PAX: 5 HIMs (High Impact Men)
Conditions: Thick, muggy humidity — felt like breathing through a wet sock.
The Thang:
The morning kicked off pre-sunrise with 5 determined men showing up for work. We took to the tunnel for 12 rounds of uphill sprints, pushing hard through the still, sweaty air. Recovery between sprints wasn’t lounging — it was work:
• Glute bridges to fire up the posterior chain
• Jane Fonda leg raises (yes, those burn)
• A sprinkling of yoga-inspired stretches to keep things loose and aligned
Notable Moment:
Captain Sparkles made a rare and radiant appearance, lighting up the gloom like only he can. His presence confirmed it was no ordinary Tuesday.
Moleskine:
• The tunnel brought the heat and the echo of heavy breathing
• Spirits stayed high despite the humidity trying to crush us
• A good reminder: when it’s hard to breathe, breathe deeper.
Quote of the Day:
“Embrace the suck — the uphill kind builds more than quads.”
