This was YHC’s first time out to Boneyard. At the Christmas party a few weeks back, DirtyBird said he would come Q Ambush if YHC would come Q Boneyard. Challenge accepted. After suffering through a DirtyBird Q on Tuesday YHC knew that he had to bring it this morning. The men worked hard it …

To be late April it was quite chilly this morning at the Shank. It would be easy to stay in the fartsack on a day like today but 10 pax showed up to push the rock. The mumblechatter was on point as was the effort by all the guys. Thanks for having me out, below …
The name of todays Q and workout stems from a picture posted on the Ambush board yesterday. Apparently some chicken lost their feet yesterday in Red Bank. After many questions and much deliberation, it was decided that there was no need for further investigation. It was Red Bank and not so uncommon for any normal …
It was a perfect morning for a workout. And today at CAT, the boys of Ambush showed up to converge. Some work was done. There were a lot of laughs. There were a lot of gas pumps. There was a bit of cheating. And most importantly there was a lot of mumble chatter. A good …
Its always a good day when you start at the bush. These guys keep you on your toes as the Q. The mumblechatter is strong at Ambush, and this morning was no different. Today, YHC decided to change it up a bit. Today we teamed up for some races as we dial in for the …

It’s always fun to visit other AO’s. Except for the commute. YHC was running behind for SL because I-20 had the exit closed toward Detention. Sorry to make you guys wait.

As YHC rolled into BeechHouse this AM the rain was pouring and a bolt of lightning lit the sky. Muggy Tape and I decided that stridelite was off the table. The rain cleared a few minutes before and the pax started rolling in. It was good to see some familiar faces that I hadn’t seen …
The weatherman called for more of the wet stuff for this AM but he was again wrong. His forecast must have scared away the pax. Or maybe they wanted something a little harder than yoga. We will never know. However, the overachievers that joined YHC were all there for SL. One did the harder thing …
Another morning in the gloom. Another day to get a little better. YHC was joined by 3 other brother for a few SL miles this morning. We ran into the wind the whole time. When we returned several other pax were in attendance. As we departed the flag 9’s rolled in to run a few …

Three years ago, I rolled up to Ambush and really didn’t know what to expect. Really didn’t know how it would change me. Today I celebrate with men who I have sweated or froze with during workouts, ran races with, ate lunches with, talked about God with, been held accountable by, and guys who I …
A few weeks back Voltron EHd YHC and Jam to co-Q over at Arena. After some back and forth we picked a day. And so it was 8-8. Good thing Voltron gave us a heads up Tuesday because we both forgot about. As we rolled in to the Arena only Voltron could be found. But …

Drisocket challenged the pax of the Westside to step up and co-Q at CAT for the month of June. YHC could think of no other pax than Paper Jam to Q with. Mainly because no matter how bad my part of the Q was it was almost guaranteed to be superior to anything he would …
YHC is sure glad there are preblast announcements for the upcoming Q. The Surge SF sent out a call yesterday afternoon that reminded me of my scheduled QIC duties. The SF also said it would be easy. So, YHC obliged in that and brought a simple workout. We had 5 for SL. Below is what …

Six men and mans best friend gathered in the gloom of downtown Ltown for a six mile run. From the silence on the message board yesterday YHC thought he may be alone. Or maybe Recall would show. As 0500 came there were several pax stretching their way toward the virtual shovel flag for a quick …
Lots of chatter on the AO twitter page about the rain had YHC believing he would be alone for stridelite this morning. Not the case. Six of Lexington’s finest HIM’s showed up for betterment. All getting a little foreplay before the work started. Lumbergh, forever now known as Himbergh, predicted the rain would hold off …
YHC decided a few weeks ago to get on the Q sheet right after the P200 to avoid the laziness that sometimes follows the CSAUP things we do. Tomahawk had an opening. So this morning, YHC headed right down the dirt road to the big city of Gilbert. Always a pleasure to be ITG with …
YHC always enjoys his time out at Surge. These guys work hard and get after it. There must have been 8 or 9 of us for stridelite. Maybe more since counting is not my forte. Anyway when the 5:15 hit we had 19 men in the parking lot, although one was on two wheels sliding …
The forecast did not look good for the gloom. Yesterday there was chatter of 100% chance of rain but that did not stop the HC’s. As YHC rolled in the parking lot for SL, Brita and Lumbergh were waiting. With the rain this morning we kept the stridelite in the confines of the Ambush territory. …
Sitting down to write this feels kind of pointless right now. We learned after bc this morning that one of our FiA sisters lost her life while running. We prayed for Digits, Dianne Wells, when we found out. I ask that we all continue to pray for her husband, three children, her family, and her …
Being 12 days out from the big day, the birthday of the ultimate HIM, YHC felt compelled to do a countdown to Christmas workout. After looking at the twitter machine after the workout, many other AO’s did a variation of the same. Six men and one k9 joined me and helped me keep this straight. …
What an honor to Q at Graveyard this fine fall morning that felt like the dead of winter. After three days of rain, the pax were just glad nothing was falling from the sky. YHC wanted to keep the guys moving this morning but also really wanted an upper body beatdown. Sorry Spackle for no …
To the far west of F3 Lexington is where YHC took the Q this morning. It was a pleasure seeing some guys that I normally don’t get to see and to meet a few new faces. Twelve men defied the warmth of the fartsack and joined in for their daily dose of betterment. A good …
YHC arrived at SnakePit and saw some old faces and met some new guys. 11 pax joined me this morning and avoided the temptation of the fartsack. On a morning like this, where is nice a cool, YHC likes to keep moving to stay warm. The men out at Snakepit agreed and we moved out …

This was YHC’s first trip to the far east of F3Lex, the home of The Herd, Jumunji. After TSpot called me out on the twitter machine last week, I jumped on an open date. This place is ripe for a great workout. The pax worked hard and we each pushed ourselves to get a little …

YHC was looking forward to getting back to The Arena to see the faithful pax who post there. Its good getting around and spending time with brothers you don’t get to see much. Knowing that these men work hard, YHC wanted to bring something new. Hopefully they enjoyed it. I know I did. Good seeing …
Its sad to say that this was YHC’s first trip to Tomahawk. This place is perfect for a BC. Plenty of hills, stairs, tires, fields. You name its here. There is also a great group of men out there. Look forward to coming back soon. YHC brought some of his home AO favorites out this …
….as AOQ. When YHC rolled into Ambush this morning for stridelite it was a strange feeling. For the last year it has been a pleasure leading this AO. Letting go of that is hard for someone like YHC who has a touch of OCD. But part of the point of F3 is to invigorate male …
Written by Pennyworth, posted by Juice. YHC was glad to see the trucks rolling in the parking lot this morning. We also had Meter roll in on his bicycle, which is becoming the norm. While waiting on 5am to come, a few pax were discussing the strange individual they saw on their way to Ambush …
YHC was looking forward to leading the Ambushmen this morning. On Tuesday, Paper Jam gave us a good arm workout. YHC decided to follow that up with another arm day. Mainly because swole is the goal of Ambush this year. Pdubs wasnt happy but the pax pushed through. WE all got a little better this …
The Grinder was up for this morning. After the P200 and much chatter about Brita and his running to some good jams, the pax asked him to bring whatever music he listened to while running. ICYMI, Brita crushed the P200. His last leg was epic. YHC cannot explain it, but you should have been there. …

YHC always enjoys time at The Hollow. A great group of men and good mumblechatter is always on tap. The plan was to do a 5k during BC with a stop every 1/4 mile to do some reps. YHC figured that we could all use a little more work before the P200 next week. NEXT …
YHC decided to venture East on westside takeover day and make an appearance at Detention. The Detention SF warned me of heavy mumblechatter. The pax did not disappoint.

The Grinder was up for this morning. 6 pax showed for SL, and we had 5 pax at BC that were still recovering from the Dam to Dam relay. YHC looked the worst and knew that modifications would be part of his routine this morning. They were. The rest of the pax knocked it out. …
YHC signed up to Q the last weekday Q before the Dam2Dam relay because he would be in control of the beatdown. Today was light on legs and the focus was more on core and arms. The mumblechatter was more than the last time YHC was out here, but the Surge pax worked hard for …

3 pax finished the year at Ambush with a cold running of the Grinder. We talked on the message board last night about doing an abbreviated version at 5 and piling in a clown car to head to the Nantan’s 4 year anniversary Q at the Shank. After 15 minutes of suffering and complaining about …
