3 pax met up at the Mandeville trailhead, with YHC coming in hot as per usual. The outside temperature read 30 degrees and Coconuts, with only a light jacket… no pants , hat, or gloves, seemed unfazed by the elements. Warm up: mosey to bus stop: Ssh and IW x …
With it being just over two weeks before Christmas, bells could be heard along the lakefront in Mandeville on a cold and dreary Saturday morning. Could it be the salvation army ringing their bells to get donations from the dedicated runners on the Lakefront? No sir, it is a bunch …
This back blast is going to be short and sweet since I am off to train for the Nightmare Before Christmas beatdown 12/16 at the lakefront! It was a little cold so we just started with 50 SSH in cadence to warm everyone up. We followed that with some windmills …

Mosey Westward to the first COP, a rotisserie of sorts with three rounds …
Nine pax posted last night for our evening workout and F2. We passed the Q from pax to pax throughout the workout in what turned out to be a memorable beat down as the sun set. Throughout four circles of pain the pax went through several warm up exercises, merkins, …
We were all FNGs once…BUT….IF….you’ve been an F3 Northshore FNG recently, making your first post at the most logical AO, the Mandeville Lakefront, you’ve experienced some extreme H8 from on-Q-high.
