We did work today.

There was a chance of rain and it is the week before the BRR, but the pax at C.A.T consistently choose to do the #harderthang, so 13 men showed up bright eyed and bushy tailed for a pretty typical (boring/not creative) Scotch-led beatdown.  The mumble chatter happened early and often, which is encouraged at all …

#Legion was Lonely

Well not really lonely as six of us convened in Hampton Park.  The 2ndF wasn’t lacking as it’s hard to press the peddle hard enough to wind the #Legion #Faithful.  BUT, today was a special day in that the AO that spawned Legion was celebrating it’s three year anniversary.  And, not to be left out …

If you puke in your mouth and swallow it, does it still count as a merlot???

On the heels of a near triple-digit Tuesday for the boys of Lake Murray, Foxhole welcomed 8 pax for a good ol’ fashioned toughy this morning.  In the spirit of trying to keep things fresh, we split into teams for some relay action.  The effort level was high and the motors were pushing the redline …

15 pax rolled out of the #sack this AM for the exciting return of the Blocks. YHC has not loaded the blocks up for a while and spent a good bit of time contemplating on how many to bring.  YHC decided 20 would be a good number after carefully loading each block YHC realized at …

Way better than 3

25 PAX avoided the Fart Sack to get better this morning. My last few Qs have averaged about four PAX, so it was awesome to see this many men out for a run. We had a little Mumble Chatter from two PAX in particular about the route, but hills are in order for BRR. Always …

Football Is Back

Today is a great day.  College football is officially back in swing and 16 pax got their morning off to a terrific start by reliving the Tigers run to the National Championship. Unlike the Newberry College head coach, YHC refrained from taking any cheap shots at the team in the midlands. Conditions: Just right…upper 60’s and …

SCORE Core

7 pax assembled for what had been advertised as an “easy” workout because YHC would be bringing a “kotter” pax.  He was a no-show, but we pushed on anyway. Conditions: 71 with a intermittent drizzle and lots of humidity The Thang: COP- All IC SSH x 15 Windmills X 17 Through the Tunnel X 12 …

This was the third edition of the Grinder while DJ Jam pumped out the tunes.  Paper Jam has now brought a different speaker/ sound system each time.  Thanks to him for getting here early to setup.  The men all pushed extra hard this morning.  When time was called by Sawdust, they kept working.

Rumble’s Not Q

Nothing like waking up at 0515 on Q day – a stream of expletives, throw on the first thing within reach, brush the teeth (Nantan said so), and peel out of the driveway as the neighbor and his dog run for their lives. The one thing YHC did not do while en route to the …

Just Terrible

11 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. With cool temps and a lack of creativity, YHC reached into the history books for a redux of a favorite – #TombeeTorture. These #HIM made it quite clear that they continue to #GetBetter each and every week.  It was an honor to lead these …

Cherokee Trail Run

15 Pax and one furry friend took their DRP at Stride this morning. A Cherokee trail run sounds like we did some kind of indian run on the trails but since they have dozered through the dirt berms on either side of the bridge it can no longer be classified as a trail run. Everyone …

4 lengths of hills on the road, 4 lengths of hills, run one down, go back around, 3 lengths of hills on the road….

The hands of time are quickening their pace towards this BRR thing everyone is talking about (at least the guys running it won’t shut up about it…stupid Happy Trees). The team that carries Rooster/Smokehouse PAX lost a strong runner, that will be sorely missed,  but gained a road smoking teammate from the midst of their …

#Brickpile on Hand

#Brickpile, the original F3Columbia AO, started spinning out expansion AO’s a little over four years ago.  First to launch were #Amble and #SwampFox but #Brickpile was so successful that those splits weren’t enough and a true, Shandon neighborhood AO was in need.  #Thunder was therefore launched taking its name from the nearby Fire Station 9. …

Muscle + Cardio

8 PAX enjoyed a nice cool morning. That number must have meant to be considering I brought 8 brand new cinder blocks with me to the workout today. Warm-up: Walking to the block pile (about 150 yards) with the block overhead. The THANG: We started with 30 reps of ten exercises with the block: Shoulder press Bicep …

Crypt 30’s

Today was a celebration of 30 months of being freed from the sad clown realm for YHC.    It has been 2 and a half years of getting better in all three of the F’s but I still have a way to go.  Thanks to all the Pax who have made a difference in my life by just being friendly …

Battle Goes Solo

YHC was called from the bullpen mid-week to assist Splinter with a fill-in Q at Battle.  By Friday, it wasn’t clear whether Collar knew that he was the Co-Q so a solo Q was planned just in case.   Splinter was off to the Manning launch with Chaser, Okra, and Abraham.  Another Reynoldsless Battle.

Shawshank Redemption

Shawshank had 14 Pax come out to witness YHC’s redemption of “the worst” Q of all time. Apparently, some PAX thought that 500 Merkins wasn’t making anyone better during the last Q. Good thing there were better plans in place, even if it was a little lackluster in execution. It was good to see these …

Triple Elevensies

As many of us see our 2.0s trudging back to school this week, YHC figured what would be more appropriate than a workout inspired by a beacon of intelligence and educational excellence?  That’s right, “Back to School” and the infamous Triple Lindy.  It was either that or Spicolli.  YHC thinks YHC chose wisely. Conditions:  relatively …

Take Your Medicine!

YHC was filling in today for a brother that needed to swap Q’s.  Due to a little bit of a short notice, YHC wasn’t exactly in the best shape to deliver the epic beatdown to met his standards.  Actually, YHC didn’t want to take the little red pill at all!  The Fartsack had a strong …

Redemption Q

YHC failed at life last Friday and had ringer volume set to off and so I missed my Q.  The PAX still did the route I had planned so I had to come up with a new one.  Punished all by making it harder this time around. Conditions: A twinge of fall in the air. …

Looking for a name

6 PAX ignored the temptation to be lazy and came out to enjoy one of YHC’s favorite workouts on a typical humid SC morning. This particular WO has become one of the favorites among #theherd.  Its such a favorite the YHC is looking to name it.  Submissions will be welcome from #theherd and only #theherd. …

Home Sweet Thunder

13 PAX made a choice this morning.  They chose to rebuke the #Fartsack.  They chose to avoid remaining inert.  They chose to do the hard thing.  On this morning, like so many mornings before on the grounds of Hand Middle School, the PAX came ready, willing and able to do work.  They came in search …

Either no one noticed, no one cared, or no one wanted to relive it. I like to to think it’s the latter.

After a conversation with my brother, Bulldog, YHC figured it was time to pay a long overdue visit to the original Lexington AO, Graveyard.  There was a lot of talk of bear crawls the day before and for some reason the number seemed a little low on this humid morning.  With a lot going one …

The Need for Speed

Leg Day at #Legion

YHC had been looking forward to this Q date, very thankful for the AOQ reminder, a double-booking almost led to a q-less workout. Preparing for this year’s TRU50K has taught YHC about the character we can hone through the suffering that endurance training brings… and this one, brought a little more suffering than intended.

WOW for 8/14 – 8/19

Backblasts are probably the last thing YHC thinks about when agreeing to Q.  This is because it’s probably the least enjoyable part of the workout.  Planning the workout can be fun–it’s a time to put your Q’ing knowledge to paper and see what kind of sadistic workout you can come up with. The actual act …
