Arena Leg Day

Have you ever put together a winkie and really wished you hadn’t been so ambitious?  Today was one of those days for YHC.  I really wasn’t looking forward to this workout.  I knew it would be one that would stick with me for a few days.  However, YHC knew the men of The Arena wouldn’t …

Line of Pain

Good crowd this AM at Detention though we did miss the #OG Detainees H4T, Banjo & Tardy. YHC received #EpsteinsMother DMs from 2 of them. They had legitimate reasons. Work and fatherhood trumps a bootcamp. It was a good one, though. YHC was really glad to see some F3 Lexington legends as well as a …

Mary Jane’s Even Flow Burpees Helped to us to Just Breath Like the Wolf

YHC was very excited for this VQ and wanted to make it as memorable and enjoyable as possible.  What better way than with a little music and some burpees.  YHC started F3 last February and remembers the first workout very well, specifically how few burpees and merkins he could do (3-5) and how close he …

Statehouse and Horseshoe

Fridays are a special day at Ramble.  Run 20 Minutes, then 60 Minutes of coffee.  This puts some limitations on the Q, most of which I ignored. The Thang! Run down Wheat, up Main, around the statehouse, down Sumter, through the Horseshoe, then back up Devine. Looked something like this.

FogRun at Crusade

6 Pax posted in the midst of 99% humidity and a thick fog.  YHC opted to stay on the bigger roads for safety.  Out and Back to the Dam?  Nah, let’s get better.  Whiteford Hill it is!  All returned safely and better than when they started. Aye Men! Conditions: 50s and Fog.  Did we mention …

Deja Vu: Year #2

“They don’t make a year like they used to”. This is what YHC’s father says on occasion. I echo this sentiment about the last 2 years of getting better with the men of F3 Lake Murray. Time has certainly flown, yet I can’t imagine not continuing on the F3 journey with the PAX. So for …
