12 Pax came out for the official launch of the second AO in Johnson City. There’s a lot of real estate to work with at the new AO. YHC resisted the temptation to hit the pull-up bars (again) to explore other features of the New AO—particularly the football field. YHC

Post Murph Maylay
An all time high 27 Pax showed up Tuesday to kick the new year off right. It just so happens 16 of them also showed up on Monday for a New Year’s Murph. The JC Pax put in some serious work on Monday. Many (including YHC) were sore and moving slowly
Donatello Turns 40
The day has finally arrived—YHC turned 40. Typically Birthdays do not phase me, it’s just another day. I have to confess, however, that 40 feels a little different. It’s a significant milestone. Statistically—I’ve lived half my life. Of course with my family gene pool, that may be generous. My initial
Merkins & Squats—What else do you need?
Another Tuesday and another record turnout—25 pax brave the cold temps. The Pax were particularly chatty this morning, but were dismayed to find out YHC had a smoker planned. Conditions—COLD No worries, I hear a train coming. Quick Disclaimer right before the train rolls by—burpees. Luckily for the Pax, it
Beep Beep
The plan for today was simple—let the Pax set a baseline. We have been at it for several months now. Guys are getting stronger and fitter, but the workouts are also getting harder. It can be difficult to get a sense of how much progress is being made without some

Tabata—what?
You’d think the JC Pax would have learned by now that when Donatello sends out an email and asks for Q’s—someone needs to respond. This day was particularly challenging, given YHC was hobbled coming off a 10K OCR on Sunday. Appearantly jumping from a 9-10 foot embankment into grass (which did
Who Cut the Deck?
Today’s plan was simple. YHC had planned to spring a nice little shuttle run beep test on the Pax, but after 2.5 miles of stairs yesterday—audible. Back in the day—before F3—a deck of cards was my go to workout when I wanted variety but didn’t want to put the thought
Fall Break Flogging
After spending a considerable amount of time on the Q early on during the launch—YHC has been content to sit back for the past several weeks/months, relishing in the emerging leadership of the new JC Pax. Men have been consistently stepping up and leading the workouts, it’s awesome to witness. After
