16 pax join together to play a friendly game of frisbee in a storm of pollen, and hand sanitizer was encouraged. Conditions: Around 65 degrees and a slight N wind. Disclaimer Before Prayer Double Fault was climbing people with bursts of athleticism and his gloves helped him snatch some serious snags, YHC agrees with him. …
16 pax post to better theirselves and to soak up some of the extra humidity in the air. Froccer was the game of choice. There was a quiet murmuring of an audible to soccer but it was quickly quashed by the majority. Maybe next time… conditions 78F, 100% humidity, feels like Amazonian rain forest. Disclaimer, …
18 pax defied the rules of gravity & pulled themselves from their comfy beds. The young-ins never seem to have a hard time with it, but the older guys always look a bit…..never mind. Let’s just say with wisdom comes sore muscles, less mobile joints, and the general “aches & pains.” Olive Oil made a …
11 pax joined together for the futbol adventure at the Bluff. Most were expecting another outing on the main field, but with the soccer goals stashed away for Summer keeping, YHC had other dreams in plan. Honestly, it was Olive Oil’s idea, but YHC put it into reality. We headed down to the lowly practice …
13 pax joined under the post-Valentines lights to square off against each other in a classic game of ultimate frisbee. YHC was surprised to see Shag out there. Knowing he’s still a newly wed, YHC figured he had planned a whirl wind trip to Paris for dinner, but it sounds like those plans are for …
YHC should start at the end. YHC & 2.1 decided a nice hot coffee after this morning’s daring outdoor adventure would be in order. YHC drove to the local Celestialbucks. While inside, mind you around 615AM, the barista asked how YHC’s day was going. “Fine, a little soggy, but a fun start so far!” “Oh …
Good morning F3 fans. We decided to get together for a little fun & games before the seriousness gets too close to home. Normally we would be All In for a little frisbee action, but with the winds picking up we didn’t know how things would shake out. There was a rumor about a football …
12 pax met at the Bluff on Friday for a rousing game of Soccer. We even brought a new guy to clash (not new to F3) and a FNG. The problem with the Bluff is that it’s dark. Knowing who is on which team is tricky at best, despite pennies. Maybe we should buy some …
After YHC missed a week, not only did YHC get to play under lights, but YHC also stayed for the whole time. It was glorious! 15 other pax shared in the excitement of froccer. The wind was a factor and an equalizer. Conditions: 62F, shifting winds of 9-11mph, with occasional gusts disclaimer: Church isn’t liable. …
6 pax braved the cold conditions for a game of futbol. Unfortunately, futbol only works if there is a glow ball. Said ball is missing. The good news is there was a light up disc! Ultimate frisbee was agreed upon, and 6 pax ran wind sprints for the next hour. The blazing speed of one …
It’s been a year since Clash launched as an official AO. Like it’s pax, Clash is definitely special. A shared AO between F3Lexington & F3LakeMurray, we are breaking boundaries. What started out as speed work out at F3Stride with a simple game of soccer turned into a beautiful fellowship of brothers having fun every week. …
Another day ‘n another chance to better ourselves. thar was much twittArrr chatter abound yesterday wit’ who would Q or not. Mac fightin’ on th’ disabled list has thrown us all a curve cannon ball. A certain male nurse threatened butler, ‘n a tasty yellow treat offered up to a Presbyterian a choice ’bout an …
Elvis Sails a Pirate ship, Mac gets Lapped, and Man was it humidRead More »
An Elvis friendly route was promised after our fearless leader tweaked his ankle. BRR teams everywhere in the land of F3 have all taken a gasp of fear on the anticipation of the outcome of the ankle of Mac. We all pray he heals soon. Conditions: 72f, 83% humidity Opening prayer & route Take a …
The 3rd outing of Monday morning soccer was upon us. The first game saw small numbers, but the second brought out some semi-professionals. Who knew what the 3rd would bring us. Pele`, maybe? YHC was excited to Q this installment, and already looking forward to the 4th. The rising humidity does make this fast/slow twitch …
With all of the BRR training starting YHC felt that a distance run was in order. Sure, these crazy guys need some hill work to get ready for their mountain work,but YHC needs a little variety in life. There was definitely a new experience along the way, but this unfortunately turned out to be a …
We celebrated our anniversary run on Wednesday with Yellowcake’s tour de Whiteford, and now it’s YHC’s turn to bring a flashback. One of our first runs at our new location was an up & around Gibson to Highway #1. YHC is still recovering from the magical trip to Disney last week, and the muscles are …
The last several Mondays have involved intervals, whether on the track or hills, but repeats none the less. Fracture led us through the physiology of slow vs fast twitch muscle fibers and helped the pax to condition them for faster running, particularly for hilly routes. BRR is coming up, and some people feel that hill …
Yellow Cake asked YHC last friday to Q today. YHC accepted the challenge, and the planning began. Last Monday’s repeat-o-rama with Kimye left YHC bedazzled. Here was a true professional encouraging the Pax to push harder, longer, to get better together, and yet YHC had to bring the same today. YHC thought about 45 minutes …
4 pax met for a Wednesday morning #stride. YHC was stunned by all the fog and chose to audible on the route. Conditions: 50 and foggy, really foggy Opening prayer Take a right onto South Lake and go out towards Red Bank and go 22 minutes out. Turn around and head back. Ps watch for …
Another day in the gloom with the striders is always in order. Some would question why YHC keeps calling them out, but the stride numbers dwindled with the GoRuck. Accountability is one of our goals in F3, so I’m calling you out, even if you could do more merkins in one session than I could …
To Q or not to Q, that is the question. Once the Q’ing bug bites, a pax seems to want more and more. The last Speed edition of stride that YHC Q’d has been awhile. That one involved some cops & robbers and track work, but the desire to do more is ever present. River …
Treadmill put out a request for someone to step up and take the reigns of Turning Point today (yep, there was a pun intended there). YHC has felt the pull to Q another bootcamp somewhere, and what better time than on a Saturday. YHC had only been to TP one previous time, but felt right …
The last day of 2014 brought 10 pax together to #getbetter #bebetter with a Wednesday morning stride edition. YHC is still getting over a migraine, so the route plan was a little fumbled. Luckily no one got lost. Even though there was a biologic warfare device deployed that required the COT to be moved, we …
Man caprees, pajama pants, and a little calling card.Read More »
Conditions: 45F, wet, dark, and only 1/3 of the lights on the campus were on. Looks like RBHS is saving money during the Christmas break. 4 pax joined together this morning for a pre-Christmas speed building session. YHC was appropriately worried he would be posting alone. 0530 was quickly approaching with no other cars in …
YHC had never q’d a Monday stride, so YHC felt it was time. The ankle is healed, and YHC needs some more endurance training. It’s time to start improving the 5k time, significantly. No offense, to previous q’s, as YHC always had some left in the tank at the end of a Monday workout. YHC …
One of the best things lately is the rising numbers at Stride again. It warms YHC’s heart to see the Pax supporting the running group and really building their stamina up for the other F3 opportunities. That being said, modifications are perfectly acceptable. Out and backs, interval training, loops, or skipping down the sidewalks of …
4 pax showed up for stride this morning with visions of running in the gloom. 1 of the 4 showed up early for some extra mileage, Tclaps to Hoser. This P200 thing is approaching, and distances are starting to be pushed for those training for it. 1 pax showed a few minutes late but still …
Disclosure Condtions: 55F and Clear The Thang: Opening prayer and a bid adieu to the Core Pax (Say What, Yellow Cake, Socrates, and Sled) Mosey to Thistle field for COP, but yet the Core pax are spotted running away….I thought they weren’t going to run. SSH IC x 36 (no one gave YHC a birthday …
Conditions: 72ish, muggy-ish, dark 5 Pax braved the gloom to come stride it out. Choices by YHC were given, slow & hilly or flat & fast. No one seemed very interested in either, but YHC had a personal agenda. YHC chose flat & fast, not for the speed work but for the endless opportunities to …
