Independence Day Triple Down!
For a while we had been planning our annual beatdown before the Sunshine Festival 5K on Tha Island. Ya boy Twinkle Toes thought it was a good idea to ruck before the beatdown and we did! Well, at least Loveseat, Saint 2.0, YHC, and a couple of ruck club folk knocked out a quick 3.5 [...]
The Morning After
We had 6 pax post this morning - Heehaw did some complex reckoning and determined that it was about a third of those that came to the cookout last night. Though we’ll give uptown girl a pass as he was a fantastic host last night. I have to say, I felt a little sluggish - [...]
HDHH – BLESSINGS
This past Sunday at SSCC, Dunker, AKA David Yarborough gave a sermon entitled Speaking Life: The Power of the Blessing. The following notes are directly from his sermon.

HDHH – Faith (even when it’s waning)

Sure, if we admit it, we have all believed information that we gained from each of these sources. But why? They generally all have credibility because of multiple eyewitness accounts. Aunt [...]
Mean Mugs and Shoulder Shrugs…
This AM was another crisp morning, and we had 8 or so Pax!! (SPEAK UP IF I MISSED YOU). We focused on Shoulders and Abs. Bundy decided to test his herculan strength with his 60# no handled filler bag. Disclaimer was given, and away we went Warm Up (all IC with the resting position being [...]
Renegade Raffle
I was another chilly morning in the coldest place on earth. Actually, my thermometer said it was closer to 49°. In defense of OPES, I was told the person who programmed the thermometer at the sign received his PhD in Climatology from the Manor In-stute of Technologee (and Cosmetology), or what Heehaw's people affectionately as [...]
Never Walk Alone
With the looming April = Accountability challenge, it seemed like a good idea to dive into the word of Solomon - after all, he was reported to be a wise fella. "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:12 Remember, cooperating [...]
