This morning was classic Urban Legend as we traveled around downtown Lexington and hit most of the major spots. A variety of work was done and 2.5 miles were run. Add this together and a #snotwoggler ensued. It was non-stop. It’s always a good AM when we can #BlameDunphy for something. Conditions: 50 degrees The …
Weather was #realnice for the Tuesday edition of Shawshank, however, the fields were a little damp. While the damp fields were a source of complaining for some pax, others went into Michael Scott mode. Dunphy wanted some #mantouching but, alas, there was none. It was a pretty good morning in the #gloom. Here’s what we …
We normally speed around the track at The Bounty but today was about running miles for Mark Juergens, Jr. His story taken from the Run Hard registration page is in the moleskin below. A larger than normal crowd ran around LHS campus at a nice and easy pace and totaled 67 miles for the cause. …
It’s a bad feeling when you show up to run group and the other 2 guys are 2 of the fastest in the region. Luckily, Pickle and Spillway slowed down just enough for YHC to keep up. While it wasn’t my most conversational pace, good fellowship throughout the 6+ miler. Conditions: 41 degrees, no rain …
YHC was #honored to be the #warbaby this AM. Good fellowship with #Respect pax, Iron Mary and Knozit. First F was pretty good, too. Fartleks are always a good way to get a little bit better. 4.5 miles during speedwork is #realnice. Conditions: 36 degrees and breezy The Thang: Disclaimer, BOM Warm-up Mile Stretch OYO …
A very merkin and core-intensive workout happened this AM at Urban Legend. We also ran about 1.8 miles in between merkins, planks, and ab work. All the ab-work worked instantly as Argyle’s pants almost fell down half-way through the workout. Conditions: 39 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer BOM Warm up mosey aimlessly around the parking to …
Great morning at The Shank started with a Soaker-led discussion at The Rock. Others chose to train up for the D2D Relay. A surprise rain (to me, anyway) hovered slightly above us. Nothing too bad. Then we did a lot of planks and merkins and squats and other stuff. Enjoyed it, Men. Strong work. Conditions: …

The title means nothing if you weren’t there. We’ll just have to leave it there. Dunphy took a blood oath not to disclose what was talked about during the hour of work that was put in this AM. T-claps to the men that posted in 21 degree weather. YHC felt it necessary to make it …
12/28/13 is actually the date Pledge Brothers Stage Coach, Good Hands, and YHC started our F3 journey. It’s been quite a ride. Thanks to Depot for getting so many current F3 Lexington men started (much more on that in the moleskin). And thanks for having YHC back this AM to celebrate 7-years a little early. …
I will admit it…after hearing a steady rain while in the comfort of the fartsack, the last thing I wanted to do was run in the cold rain. Why did my Q have to fall on a morning when it’s 38 degrees and rainy? But, forces I am thankful for…responsibility, accountability, the focus on acceleration…got …
After a brief discussion, this AM’s QIC decided to hit the track in a little bit of rain rather than settle for the dryness of the breezeway. The decision paid off as the rain left us shortly after we started. Taking the Red Pill is always the right decision. Conditions: 46 degrees, wet The Thang: …
Campaign Qs didn’t make their way out of Lex1 so YHC made the trip Lex 3 on Tuesday and Lex 2 today. Always good to spend some time with The Herd. It’s a truly special group. Truly. Music was 90s themed with some Beastie Boys, The Who, and Johnny Cash thrown in. Columbo managed to …

Good crowd this AM for 28 degrees run. Not sure if it was the idea of the beating Wander or just the need for #acceleration. Jam, Brita, and Lumbergh took an extra red pill and ran XL miles. The route boasted a hilly start, running up Church St then Pond View but flattened out after …
The 1st really cold morning this season didn’t deter 12 pax from posting at Smokehouse this AM. Seemed to be a lot of headlocking the evening before. Nice job, Men. Glad to be among the men of Smokehouse. Always a good time. Conditions: 36 degrees, breezy The Thang: Disclaimer, BOM Warm up mosey around track …
Our scheduled QIC couldn’t make it Fri AM so YHC volunteered to take the lead about 30 minutes before bootcamp. YHC has some experience Qing so it didn’t take long to come up with a plan. It was pretty foggy so we stayed on campus for safety reasons. Thank you to Rock Drop & Dunphy …
We celebrated the 2-Year Anniversary of Urban Legend this AM. We hated AOQ Argyle had to miss for personal reasons but the show must go on. This workout was specifically designed to hurt Cheers’ but, alas, he was a no-show. YHC wanted to hear the mumblechatter he promised. This was a complete OYO/AMRAP friendly to …
Perfect running weather this AM as we ran 6.35 miles uphill. Lumbergh said it was outrageous. Strava’s elevation gain calculator tells YHC it wasn’t that bad. Uneven sidewalk claimed another victim this AM. Impressive roll out of it, Nameless Pax. Jam and Eggo ran their weekly Hump Day Half…now, that’s outrageous. Below is the damage: …
Many, to include the pax who posted, are tapering for Cheech 10K PRs so it wasn’t the fastest Stride ever.

YHC saved the best for last as #CampaignQ #29 and grand finale made its way to BeechHouse. The pax took on a challenging EMOM block beatdown. She Shed wanted 40s Big Band but we ended up listening to some Classic Rock. Thanks to all the men of F3LexSC for the support over the course of …
#CampaignQ #28 made its way back to WKHS for The Viper. While the QIC has discretion over exercises, YHC decided to stick with the traditional Viper exercises of Hand Release Merkins, Flutter kicks, and American Hammers. Most of us ran The Viper while Deadstick took Spud for a stroll. Ralphie branched out into man stretching …
CampaignQ #27 of 29 made its way to #GilbertAmerica this AM. We had a train affect portions of the route. Lt Dan also had #Elvis affect his performance. We all made it back to the flag after a good 6+ miler. Conditions: mid-50s, breezy The Thang: Count off, Disclaimer, BOM The Route: R on Main, …
#CampaignQ #26 made its way to The Hollow this AM. YHC knew these men were up to a challenge so a slightly modified Cryptonite special was on the #weinke. The rep count was modified to fit into 45 minutes but the terrible lineup of exercises remained. Kenwood chose Grunge as the soundtrack. We all watched …
Campaign Q #25 took YHC to Gilbert America where we saw a skunk. Also, we learned that Grout can’t count and Peachy was an all conference punter averaging 48.5 yds per punt. It was a good morning. Below is a brief recap: Conditions: 57 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer BOM Warm up mosey to grab a …

Strong showing at Detention even with the Gauntlet going on. We welcomed an FNG named Clark this AM. Sometimes the nickname is right in front of you so we grabbed the low hanging fruit and named him Griswold. He’s a math teacher so YHC was kinda hoping for Mathlete as an ode to Alter Boy …
Sleepy and sad, many of us Braves posted anyway for a little bit of F3 therapy. At Stomp, it can come in many forms: Stomp, Stomp-n-Go, or Cromp. The dog walking burpee guys didn’t post today.

YHC’s 1st trip to Tread was a good one. Socrates, Little Giants, & PapaG joined as we rucked for 30 min & swung some bells for 30 min to the soundtrack of some good & bad 80s tunes. This was #CampaignQ #20 of 29 in 48 days. Enjoyed it, Men. Below are the details: Conditions: …

This one was nasty. About 3.5 miles accumulated (half of them uphill), 864 calories burned, 5 of the worst block exercises with reasonable but highly effective rep count. Tclaps to Hemingway, Milli Vanilli, Brick, & Buzzsaw for taking the Daily Red Pill. Milli chose the music genre, 90’s rock. Below is the damage: Conditions: 70 …
Weekend Special was kind of enough to let YHC lead The Reaper this AM. The Reaper remains, IMO, the best AMRAP we have in the region. Cemetery Hill is always a killer but then you add the work. Form matters so YHC changed the exercises for form focus. Instead of merkins and LBCs, we did …

The men of Shawshank did work in the wet grass, under a full moon, serenaded by Pearl Jam. Some of the mumblechatter hit but, like the Braves and Reds hitters in Game 1, most missed.

To the tunes of Grout’s favorite band, the men of Tomahawk were introduced to YHC’s favorite weekly workout, Cromp. It’s a mixture of Crypt and Stomp, hence the name Cromp.
