At 5:28am, Decay and YHC discussed whether we should begin the run, on account of what appeared to be an impending storm brewing. Honestly, it was less the heat lightening, nor the pink sky, nor the radar showing a storm in the area. It was really about the stiff breeze that was blowing. Because, let’s …
YHC emerged from the #Fartsack looking for a chance to mosey down Forest Drive, which, in theory, could be a dangerous proposition given the traffic during the day on this road. Arriving at the AO, he was thankful to see the PAX had taken the #redpill to join him on a trip down Forest Drive. Despite …

Conditions: Hot, muggy. Shocking, right? Lured by my pre-tweet of an easy run, Stumble matched its previous attendance record at 13. With this group, however, easy is no longer synonymous with slow. In what felt like a pretty smooth 4.25 mile route, the bulk of the group ran about 8:30 splits for the entire route (the last …
11 faithful posted and found a new face waiting to lead the workout.

Mondays. Where ever the weekend leads you there’s no doubting the feeling of a Monday. From the sounds of the early grumbles, there appeared to be a mix of adult beverages, people watching, and camping over the pax’s weekends (not all together). Regardless of how they were feeling, 6 pax came out of the fray …
With the last minute Injured Reserve status of today’s scheduled VQ (Blue Blocker–Get the back healed up and back out in the gloom), YHC took the helm and delivered a ground hog repeat of a couple Saturday’s ago.

As I stepped out of the door this morning I was immediately greeted with a not so refreshing wall of humidity. After taking a deep breath of what felt like steam, I decided it would be best to pass on running and all other wind sucking activities… That being said, we still put in work! Conditions: …
22 Pax showed up to welcome Traitor back from a long absence due to recent travels.

Conditions: 70’s, humid and sprinklers going …
YHC had the Q for this morning’s Monday edition of #Stumble. 5.5 total miles put in (unless you’re Kenny G and Co-Pay and miss your turn–extra credit gave them 6 miles total). Objective was plenty of hills-up and down. YHC as Q was able to holdback Stumble PAX for the first few miles, but the …

21 pax decided to better themselves by attending the Silent F workshop (form school) held by your local resident PT, Stretch.

7 Pax posted today for an Adrian / Flamer combo at #Battle and got all they wanted. Flamer stepped up for the #TwitterlessRocket and filled in on the Q. Apparently, Rocket is making a final push to get his handicap down under 3 before Fall. It’s just hard to get it down when you only …
Three pax members showed up at Ironyard for Nails’ Q celebrating 65 years. He brought out an oldey but goody for his workout (a lot of grumbling the last time he did it, so it was good). Nails would never say this but I believe he is the epitome of what F3 stands for. The …

11 faithful pax got an unexpected double dose Tuesday morning. After a week off from F3, a three day golf tournament with extracurriculars over the weekend, bad diet and Thunder’s trademark humidity, YHC only made it 30 minutes into the Q before spilling merlot. I’ll blame it on the difficulty of the workout and the …
I was talking to a former F3’er the other day who has since switched to crossfit. He felt he need to explain why (he didn’t), he said “I get to work with weights, and with people that know what they are doing.” What he was essentially saying was that F3 doesn’t have the best possible …
20 PAX showed up for another rendition of Paperboy’s greatest hits and were left sweaty and sore, but #better.

With only half the group showing support, …
5 Pax posted in the gloom to #GetBetter with a little iron. In thinking up his #Weinke, YHC couldn’t help but think back to an ongoing debate with F3Columbia’s own Kim Jung (@jamweb9425).
