Conditions: 34 and clear The Thang: Head out on St. Andrews Rd at conversation pace. Napalm calls the first set of intervals: high knees, butt kicks, karaoke.

Conditions: 54 degrees, brisk morning for a leg workout 14 PAX posted this morning at Speedtrap complaining of shoulder this, shoulder that, ruck this, ruck that.

Conditions: 70 degrees and drizzling The Thang: Tempo work down St. Andrews Rd. going from mosey to race pace and back to mosey on Dufresne’s call. LooseScrew decided to do his own thing since he got there late and didn’t know which way we went. Someone had an idea of hanging a dry erase board …
Conditions: 72 and relatively cool Today marks the one year anniversary of YHC’s start with F3. If you would have told me a year and one day ago that I would spend the next year waking up at 4:40 every morning doing boot camp workouts or running, I would have said you were crazy. I …

Conditions:68 and just slightly humid 8 Pax gathered at RIPBB to discuss their weekend activities, what races they were signing up for, and who was going to be the Q today. After everyone assumed it would be Napalm, he took that as a challenge. Before we knew it we were wishing we were back in …
Conditions: 68 degrees and relatively cool The Thang: 22 minutes out and back through the hills of Archer Lane. Moleskin: YHC pulled up to see Napalm dressed in jeans and a collared shirt.
