Weather: 62° I willingly admit that I was loosely tracking that Shawshank had the lead today for the rotational convergence but I lost track of dates and times and scrambled a preblast after being prompted by KD at around 930 PM last night. I also have to admit that when I showed up this morning …
6 pax woke up and were present for my birthday Q!! Mumble chatter was present but low, by Shawshank standards. I surprised the pax with a birthday present of 20 brand new, F3 stamped blocks. Hopefully these will not get taken. After determining where to stage said blocks the pax and I got to work…. …

Weather-Perfect! One minute warning Disclaimer Prayer. 44 was the theme for our rep count today, and, while not nearly as many as Soaker’s special day might require, that’s a lot of years when done as burpees. Thanks to the 11 Pax who help YHC celebrate each one of them. Strong work today men. Thanks for …
Memorial Day (Decoration Day) is not about furniture sales. Not just an opportunity to buy cars at prices that only Uncle Sam can approve. It’s a time when we remember those who died while in service to our country. This year, it will be observed on May 29th (since 1971, always the last Monday of …
For reasons known only to the incomparable Duff, Steven Segal was a big topic of conversation this AM. YHC felt Under Siege with all of the Segal talk. Doo Dah, as many of you know, is obsessed with John Wick. His 2nd favorite obsession beyond this one: Alas, Doo Dah wasn’t present so John Thick …

We learned 2 things during our warm-up mile mosey: 1) It’s Dominion’s 5-Year Annie, 2) the stadium gate was open. Naturally, we took advantage of both by celebrating both occasions. Great time as always with men of The Bounty. No Hoist Bucks awarded this AM for some reason. Conditions: 70 degrees, humid, light mist The …
Nine years ago today, F3 Lexington (then still F3 Columbia) made it’s westward move to Gibson Road Soccer Complex, now known as Shawshank (due to proximity of the jail). At that time, our only bootcamps were at River Bluff High School with Graveyard and Crypt. Those workouts were #problematic, as 50+ pax would show up …

With the Annual Shawshank Pool Party coming up, YHC felt a little ab workout would be appropriate. Also wanted to bring out some dumbells that were laying around the house. Something a little heavier than the standard issue Cinder Blocks. 6 Pax showed up for an Extra Full Stride Light to get the party started. …
Conditions : Beautiful 68 degrees 13 Pax woke up this morning to see what Floppy could dust off from the 4 years of hiatus from Q’ing. I did enjoy reading back through old backblasts trying to figure out what some of Arena’s newer pax may not have seen or done before. Missing some of our …
YHC had to switch with Lego today as he will be DR next week. My M will be starting chemo next week as well, so the stress of that is a major weight with my absence. Still, these men are providing a meal train for my family and to say it gives me chills is …
Weather Conditions: 56° 9 pax ventured out on this beautiful morning, with an impressive 7 of them arriving early for StrideLite. Straying from the overly used Neighborhoods Route, the pax opted instead for the Secret Passage Route that runs by Hash’s former residence. Upon returning, and getting set for boot camp, everyone was hoping for the opportunity to put in some …
Today’s was filled with another round of dice. Dice weinkes are good to have for when you are up to Q but don’t have time to be super creative – and always do the trick. Weather – just right! 1 minute warning, no FNGs, disclaimer, prayer Mosey to the back of the school to warm …
