#Scramble #LegDay

YHC had an easy three miler planned for the morning affording plenty of time for the traditional #Coffeeteria but, with a rough, #Cantore-like storm moving through town, leading the pax on a loop run didn’t seem wise… especially when plenty of opportunities were available at Trenholm Plaza.  So, instead of an easy three, a gruesome, …

A Sombre Friday

With the events of this past week, YHC took the opportunity to lead while some pax maybe grieving or looking for a chance to clear the head and come to grips with it all.  I personally did not know Digits or her family, I have only run a few times in the area around LHS …

Crypt Pax Persevere

YHC was expecting to complete the December Q exchange with our Brothers at Arena but sometimes plans change due to unforeseen circumstances.  So YHC pinch- hit for our injured brother, Buttermaker, and will fulfill the obligation to the Arena Pax at a yet to be determined date. Sometimes we have weeks, bad weeks, and all we …

Lean on Me

It’s been a tough week.  YHC has really been down in the dumps after the loss of Digits on Tuesday morning.  There is no better therapy for me than spending time with my brothers of F3.  That’s the beauty of this thing.  We get together to push ourselves, but more importantly we come together as …

Resting Bench Face

Conditions Temps in the upper 40’s.  Much drier than our weather apps predicted….at least until the XL Mary started, then it was a little like this…. or if you were Devito, more like this….. Let’s just say, the PAX were a little wetter than they anticipated, but they each did swimmingly (see what I did …

Shine Light Shine

  Pax circled around flag and started with praying The Lord’s Prayer. A few weeks ago while looking at the Q sheet I’m pretty sure The Smoker was on tap one last time before the end of 2018 and somehow it disappeared, well I couldn’t fathom going into 2019 without the lingering effects of a …

On like Donkey Kong

Battle is an experience not matched at any other AO.  It had been a while since YHC had been attended, and 5 minutes into the workout YHC realized how much he’d missed.  Battle guys are not normal human beings.  They’re a little nuts (as is YHC) and crazy loves company.  This past weekend 13 crazies …

Tomahawk BB 12.18.18

One Minute Warning: Disclaimer: Prayer: The weather: 36 Sorry for the delay, Tomahawk. I wasn’t going to write a BB at all, because similar to what others have suggested, at first thought, it seemed unimportant (and borderline inappropriate) to write about a “workout” considering the crushing magnitude of this tragedy for Digits’ family, friends and FIA …

5 pax – yes only 5 pax took the red pill this morning, braving the pouring rain and making their way to The Castle. Thankfully Jar Jar and Snapchat came visiting, as there were only 3 Castle regulars.
