Weather Conditions: 65° & Windy Yet another glorious, albeit windy morning in the gloom, this time with the men of the Hollow. YHC took the opportunity to fill an opening on the Q sheet and travel to see the neighboring AO and check on the fitness level of its pax. They of course did not …

Well half the morning was spent avoid in a big yellow school bus. Somebody musta told the driver to be at LHS at 6 o’clock to pick up a bunch of guys carrying around cinder blocks. He was persistent. But so were we, and we never got on. Today was a good cop, bad cop …
YHC was traveling this week and only got to workout with F3 men a couple of times, resorting to hotel gyms on the other days. While that is enjoyable, you don’t get the accountability and mumble chatter that comes along with F3. However, even though we had Coon Dog there, not much was said, except …
Weather: Humid 66 degrees 3 for Full Stride light and they never stopped talking about it. Ken doll was sad Cheers was not in attendance. Mumble chatter was ample but not impressive and I think that was to do with superior Qing skills and the rate of the exercises being conducted. Good times were …
Conditions: Wet but fine Tha Thang: 6 of Columbia’s finest gathered, although 3 showed their weeniness by doing a steady pace. Still, they did way better than those in their fartsacks. The 3 remaining manly men sang Kumbaya. No, really. Well, actually, that is the name of a classic (to me) speed workout, …

Non-stop action was the goal this AM. Lots of plyo movements with strength and cardio. Tclaps to Dunphy for the weighted vest. That had to suck. Or, maybe he was just hiding his nips. Glad to have the opportunity to return to UL. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Couldn’t have asked for a better group of men …

These lucky PAX got to do BC having YHC as the Q today! They must have all found a four leaf clover or kissed the Blarney Stone this week. Awesome time today and good fellowship. Coon Dog really took advantage of some 2nd F today. He did do a full stride lite today, so no …
8 Pax Posted to Surge for YHCs call up from the bullpen. Not to worry as there were no knuckle balls thrown, just straight heat. With that being said the PAX batted 1.000 as they took everything that was thrown at them and knocked it our of the park Weather was a damp 55ish degrees …

The morning started off pretty dang good. 3 dudes headed out for stride lite while 3 dudes remained behind for the rock. It was a beautiful, clear, crisp morning.

Eight years ago (March 1, 2014), #COLAM was in full effect as F3 Nation was launched in our community. 103 men posted that morning at what we now call Graveyard.

Late in the week, Brick said the Q sheet was open and asked for a volunteer. YHC is a sucker and raised his hand. Weekends are for unwinding and enjoying time with your buds…that’s just what took place at Shawshank. The morning was clear, a gentle breeze blew in from the southwest, and the fair, …
WEATHER: A very pleasant 60 Degrees 4 showed up for a full Stride Light. Duff is quickly becoming a legit runner. Good times. YHC was not paying attention to the watch, which means there was no 1 minute warning and Soaker had to call me out. Left YHC in a frenzied state so forgot the …
6 PAX posted for a beautiful morning to get after it at Turning Point. With the P200 fast approaching, YHC decided to take it easy on the running, much to the chagrin of our resident judge/lawyer.

CONDITIONS Sixty degrees and despite a few hours of rain last night, much like that delicious looking chicken sandwich the ladies on Insta are flexing with, it was dry….really, really dry.

Once again, YHC finds himself rolling with the “Couch to Q” plan. It provides a certain level of accountability, so the chances of sacking are significantly less. That said, if you’re struggling to post, sign up to Q and that should help. Anyways, the men of Shawshank showed up with the usual top-tier mumblechatter. This …

A long lost soul returned to the gloom this morning, in all his glory. Whether that was me or Stagecoach is up for debate. YHC tried for a kinder, gentler Q as a prelude to a more user-friendly option for the old, the injured, the huddled masses yearning to breath free downwind of Moose. Several …
