Yesterday morning one of our own, one of our @F3Lexington brothers, was struck by a car while running with men across the river. He was taken quickly to the hospital and initially stabilized, physically, but reports indicated that his injuries were too great. By mid day the prognosis was dire. This morning we learned …
Amidst the swelter, the moist heat of a @F3Columbia summer, seven men bested the Monday #Fartsack in order to poke and prod their bodies into sharper bipedal machines. That is, we ran four miles, one of them down Devine Street. Conditions: Holy crap it’s hot and humid. TheThang: The map is nearly worthless if you …
A challenge is a hard thing to pass up. So when Gaston tapped me last week for a Q and then tee’d up the #Ramble 5K plan for Friday it seemed like the perfect chance to knock out the #MyMile Strava challenge and see if anyone could post a new PR. Of course, it doesn’t hurt …
Ten of the more faithful among F3Columbia climbed out of the #Fartsack either in spite of the late night watching the Warriors snuff out the Cav’s hopes or because the NBA Finals couldn’t keep them up. Either way, YHC felt a tribute to the end of the basketball year was good enough reason to plan a whole …
With little to no fanfare, #Scramble jumped on the 10K bandwagon testing out a diverse route of flats & hills. It was good. Conditions: The last, perhaps, of the 60 degree mornings… ‘gonna be hot by Friday. TheThang: Left out of Trenholm Plaza onto Trenholm Road Right on Converse Right on West Buchanan, which becomes East Buchanan, which becomes …
#Backblasts have become rare as Jackelopes for #Brickpile and so the following is submitted as an example. Not a good example or a bad example… merely an example that is. An existential example, if you will. Conditions: Ridiculously perfect for a morning in the #Gloom The Thang: Taking it to the field, the pax circled …
Beautiful mornings and with an eye on summer, YHC felt the need for a road trip having stuck around home for spring break week. With 11 of the faithful in tow, therefore, we vacated the regular haunts of #SwampFox and spent a little time getting cozy with Forest Drive. Conditions: Warm & Dry (#Cantore was way …
Welcome Week, in his tweet about this morning’s #Ramble, made reference to all the big events on the downhill side of summer and the most recent chatter about the Table Rock 50K. So, taking that as something of a challenge, YHC, who was planning to hit #TheBull until being reminded of the Q at #Ramble, tried …
You’d think after 4 years YHC would be getting better at this Q’ing stuff… ready to have the training wheels taken off and all. There’s proof below, though, that there is always room for improvement. There is always a need to accelerate, to #GetBetter all the time. Conditions: 55 Degrees, cool & perfectly comfortable. TheThang: Mosey through …
The regulars of #Scramble are familiar with the challenge of the AO… namely, there’s nowhere to run without first climbing out of a hole. And no route out of the bottom-land that is Trenholm Plaza is as lengthy as the Forest Drive climb. So we did that. Conditions: Brisk & windy out of the west… so …
