October isn’t supposed to be like this! The leaves should be turning. There should be a crispness in the air. A hint of winter on the breeze should filter through the gloom. Not so this morning. Today the gloom could have been cut into chunks and distributed like big hot ice cubes… except hot cubes. …
#TheBull is always the same… grueling. Hills, Stairs, Merkins & LBC in endless repetition for 45 minutes. It doesn’t get easier and, while you get stronger, that just raises the bar. What does change is the weather and, while many were expecting a little cooler weather as the fall takes hold of Columbia, that was …
With bridges still out north of Forest Lake, the options for getting in a 5-6 mile Wednesday run without spending the morning on a four lane road are a hair limited. With the pleasures of Lake Katharine, though, so close at hand, the pax returned to that faithful neighborhood. As many of the #Scramble men …
As several #Thunder regulars sat this one out, perhaps with the #TRU50K on the very near horizon, 10 #Faithful made a morning of it. YHC has been trying to get off the #Thunder Q schedule for ages now but this one might have finally done the trick. Conditions: Balmy with a hint of fall. TheThang: …
Well not really lonely as six of us convened in Hampton Park. The 2ndF wasn’t lacking as it’s hard to press the peddle hard enough to wind the #Legion #Faithful. BUT, today was a special day in that the AO that spawned Legion was celebrating it’s three year anniversary. And, not to be left out …
#Brickpile, the original F3Columbia AO, started spinning out expansion AO’s a little over four years ago. First to launch were #Amble and #SwampFox but #Brickpile was so successful that those splits weren’t enough and a true, Shandon neighborhood AO was in need. #Thunder was therefore launched taking its name from the nearby Fire Station 9. …
The summer is officially done, gone with a bang given yesterday’s eclipse, and it’s finally time to get back to the routine. Satchel Ford school, where many a 2.0 attends among the #Hammer #Faithful, got started at 7:20… roughly two hours after the local men gathered for a beatdown to pay a little respect to …
School’s already back in session for a few unfortunate souls but the rest of the F3Midlands district 2.0s will join the headlong race to Christmas season by this time next week. The freedom of summer is, sadly, drawing to a close. It was with this deadline in mind, and apparent questionable judgment, that the #F3MidlandsTour …
It was a normal kind of Saturday at DHS for the 6:00 show of #Dawnstrike. Nothing seemed out of place. The mumblechatter was the usual high getting warmed up for the early morning workout. And even Jingles was on hand to bump some fists at his original AO. And then the wheels started coming off …
This being YHC’s first F3Midlands Backblasts the following is nearly a week out of date. Technology is a mean booger. BUT, in spite of the delay, the hillwork of August 7th is still fresh as a daisy in the mind. It was like this: Conditions: Mostly pleasant… but for the typical August mug to the …
