YHC was hanging out with his good buddy Brick last night and we noticed that no one had the Q at Hollow today. It was assumed that Cramps would just take it over today, but there was no chatter in the Hollow group page. This created a somewhat ominous feeling and YHC worried he may …
8 PAX posted on probably the hottest morning of the summer for a little frisbee action at Riverland Hills. With humidity at 100%, temperatures in the low 80s, and a smaller than usual crowd- the game seemed to drag on. Decent plays were made, tons of sweat was released, and I think all 8 in …

Welp, when you are suppose to Q at Turning Point with a start time at 5am, and you roll over and look at the clock and it is 5:03am, it is not a good feeling. But when you commit to Q, there is no rolling back over and apologizing to the group in the DM …
It was great to be back at The Hollow this morning! YHC has been away for the last couple of months attempting to prepare for the BRR. Good group this morning with a couple new guys. Happy to see new faces! A healthy Region always has new faces and thankfully F3LexSC is still doing a …
Conditions: Good grief Disclaimer Tha Thang: 8 (kind of) pax went for a joyride on two legs around an area we aren’t so familiar with.

Man, oh man, was it humid…again. There is nothing better than a bootcamp, in high humidity, confined to a shelter with no ventilation. That was the plan. Before we get to the bootcamp, let’s enjoy the leadup to the 5:30 beatdown. Lego and Buzz Saw thought it was a glorious morning for a run. They …
Step 1: Watch this….(make sure the sound is on for full effect). Step 2: Read on…. It’s been a tough year, numbers are down, many of our brothers are hurt or are hurting, and apathy seems to have set in for some of us (no-one more than YHC at times). Have we forgotten what …
This one is def coming in a “little” late. No excuses. YHC had an idea for something new, but….after review there was some hesitation that it would be tough enough stuff for the Smokehouse tough guys. With a sleepless night it came to YHC in a dream to seek out the path that needed to …
YHC brought back a favorite this AM for The Bounty men. It’s a good mix of 400m sprints and stadium steps. Add in the thickness and you have yourself and nice little smokefest. Enjoyed it, fellas.

This past Sunday was YHC’s 6 year F3 anniversary. Typically I plan a little something different for my anniversaries. With the Olympics getting started, why not make it a BrOlympic workout?

Wow, 5 years! 5 years ago yesterday (7/19/2016) YHC made one of the best decision of his life and posted for the 1st time. A lot has happen over the last 5 years. Some great things and some terrible. Many situations that YHC was very glad to have the love and support of the PAX. …
YHC has wanted to try this workout for a while, knowing the suck factor to be high. My 5k times are not ones that people would “brag” about, let’s say. I usually get the “it’s never going to happen, but I support your 6 minute mile dreams” looks from my brothers, but the support is …
It was a warm and extremely humid morning but a small group convened at Midway elementary at 6 am. LG brought a soccer ball and football but the old standy by UF was selected. There was some running, a little jumping and many throws we wish we could take back. Good to have LG and …
AOQ jumped on the Q sheet to fill the opening. Night prior YHC watched some Shark Week with the M and 2.0s. Seems the M loves to watch Shark Week every summer and recount all the episodes as we vacation on the beach. That being said a few shark facts were researched to share with …
Surge was home to another Saturday convergence. YHC was trying to come up with a Q that touched upon some F3 Classics with some F3 Fun. So YHC came up with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and of course brought his favorite Waterfall type Mary at the end. Heres …

YHC was asked by a good buddy/F3 brother of his to make sure that Urban Legend was challenging as he wanted a good workout today. I’m not saying it was Brick, but you can guess all you want. Thumbing through some of those in the vault, the ones with the most suck factors tended to …
Weather Conditions: 72° & 92% humidity 5 Pax decided to get better today by posting at Shawshank this morning.

YHC hasn’t Q’d here in a couple of months, so he looked forward to this one. After dropping off Shawshank’s shovel flag, YHC arrived to an empty parking lot except for one lone runner. Kenwood showed up about a minute afterwards and then the PAX started to shuffle in from there. It was a good …

8 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Lingering near the Kings Grant Clubhouse was YHC, who was still feeling the effects of a trip to The Bull on Monday. Once the clock struck 5:30 sharp, the PAX got better on the streets of Kings Grant as they …

Admittedly, YHC hasn’t done a great job of being present on Monday’s for The Bounty lately. Deservedly, KD pinged me a little on the message board letting everyone know he’d be missing the “The Return of IM…again”. KD has a subtle way of reminding you that you’ve been slack. Well, it is good to be …

The PAX stayed somewhat dry today with a generous sprinkling of “That’s What She Said” jokes thrown in there. Most of YHC’s jokes made sense as always, but I’m not sure about everybody else.

Fun fact for today… Some may not know this, but America voted/declared their independence from Britain on July 2nd, 1776. It was announced/published two days later on July 4th.
