20 PAX (yeah, that’s right Hammer) emerged from the Fartsack on this perfect February morning to take the DRP at the greatest AO in the history of the modern world. As YHC was preparing for what seems like a one-a-year chance to Q at Thunder, there was a desire to take the PAX out of …

Today’s workout was a modification of one I’ve used at Dawnstrike before, with 4 pain stations designed to all work targeted muscle groups – abs, chest, triceps (what are those?), back, legs, and then some high intensity cardio between sets. I really like this workout because I think it is well designed to give rest …
If anyone reads this before 2/20/20 hit me up at sbrobin @ gmail.com for a gift certificate to MudGear. AOQ is ineligible. I am confident I will never pay out. Today started out as a pretty torrential downpour, and then cleared up about 4 minutes later. The Law of F3. Here’s what happened if anyone …
Solid 15 this am for Zima’s, second go at the Q. PAX thought the theme would have something to do with Tennessee for some reason.

As you know, YHC didn’t post as Q when assigned last week. To say I fartsacked wouldn’t be accurate. I selected the wrong alarm time. I was ready and posted! I was simply an hour late. Be that as it may, Cottontail gave me his Q spot to assist my redemption. We also kept it …
6 PAX posted this soggy and chilly morning ready for more prep for the P200 that is looming just a little over a month away.

YHC returned to SwampFox for the first time in quite awhile. Some things are the same – still pitch black dark at 5:30, still fog over the football field. One thing that was different today was the fact that a bank robber was on the loose … with police cars with spotlights coming by periodically. …
First day back from the Flu so I had to bring the pain without passing out (a fun balancing act) 20 PAX showed for YHC’s beatdown which was the perfect scenario to math the perfect weather. YHC saw they had just done partner block work, but decided that you can never get enough COP – …

I don’t have anything to post. I set my alarm for an hour later than I was supposed to. As I arrived at the AO to set up my cones for the beatdown of their lives, the last couple pax were pulling out of the parking lot. Oh the shame! Needless to say, I’ve silenced …

5:30 am 47 degrees-ish Today’s lesson will be all about leg exercises – in particular those PAX often neglect which are crucial to running – hips, glutes, calves, and core with a dose of stability work. Most done in isolation per side. Why running? That’s my primary. And I’m the Q so we do what …

11 PAX arrived at #TheCastle to get better. It was cold, everywhere, except for YHC’s refrigerator, which decided to Fartsack and move to summertime temperatures. Fortunately, it was noticed after the workout, so distractions were at a minimum, but getting the 2.0s out the door for school was more challenging than usual. YHC also didn’t …
16 men made the wise decision to get up early today to better themselves and their fellow PAX this morning at Hammer. Work was done. Mumble chatter was strong. The Q was nearly flawless. The only possible error by YHC was forgetting to grab my cell phone to record the Name-o-Rama until after the Count-o-Rama began. I’ll …
YHC has been beaten down lately. Cold, sick kids, not sleeping well and a busy month at work have all taken a toll. Just getting through the day is a big enough challenge. Last night our AOQ called out YHC on GroupMe and simply said “it’s been a minute” (us NY’ers talk in our own …

15 pax went for a 3.9 mile route today with one hill and one gradual increase in height but not a hill. Then on the route, Subby informed me that Heyward has another hill with Pickens having a second “gradual increase in height, but not a hill.” So two hills and two gradual increases in height. …

With temps below freezing and the need to #GetBetter both looming over the #Gloom this morning, YHC emerged from the #Fartsack looking for a way start the week with something a little different.

Q’s were in abundance at Swampfox this morning as two men showed up with every intention of leading the pax.

12 PAX were in the gloom hoping to catch a glimpse of our lead singer, Freebird. He came, He Q’d, He gave us a beatdown. Great to have the band back together after Freebird’s solo tour. So with 13 PAX ready to go, here’s the thang: Warm up: Side Straddle Hops Through the Tunnel Little Baby Arm Circles Imperial Walker …
Hump day has arrived, and, for Stumblers, Wednesdays mean a longer-ish run. My goal was pretty simple — 1) make the route fun, 2) make it so it sorta swings back toward the AO to pick-up @F3Armory guys, and 3) make it with enough turns that Heist might get lost. All goals were met and …
13 Pax showed up to salute Chewie for his faithful leadership at The Shed and welcome our young whipper snapper Ash as the new AOQ in what was an awesome display of peaceful turnover of power.

12 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack on this warm morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Standing in the parking lot was YHC, who has been a bit of a prodigal son of late at #TheCastle having not posted there as much as one should. It was an honor to lead these #MinivanCenturions who …
This morning we did a repeat of Quickbooks’ Route from last Monday, with less recovery time. I chose to do this after hearing feedback from one of the PAX following last week’s workout, telling him that this was good training for the P200 (and because I was feeling lazy last night!) We did a one …

Last year, YHC sent out a challenge to F3 Columbia to run 1,000 miles in 2018 (1,000 Mile Challenge Pre-Blast).

Goals have been set to accomplish more in 2019. Our growth as men and as community leaders must develop each and every day. F3 has taught us that our bodies and minds can be pushed past limits we never realized. 33 Men kicked the fartsack in the teeth this morning to start a new year …
Running groups are not often filled with mumble chatter, fellowship or camaraderie during the workout. Most of this is saved for #coffeeteria and the occasional CSAUP event. But as YHC approached the New Year’s Eve Q, he gave lots of consideration to how he could make the workout meaningful physically, but also meaningful emotionally for …
It feels like I always draw this Q – the first of the new year. Posting made me 1/1 on the new year, but given my history as of late (a combination of injury and apathy), my comebacks are hardly remarked on at this point, and that’s fair. I have made a habit of posting …
YHC had an easy three miler planned for the morning affording plenty of time for the traditional #Coffeeteria but, with a rough, #Cantore-like storm moving through town, leading the pax on a loop run didn’t seem wise… especially when plenty of opportunities were available at Trenholm Plaza. So, instead of an easy three, a gruesome, …

Every now and again a special fella comes along. For F3 Columbia and #Thunder that man is none other than Adrian. Despite his recent bout with the flu and chronic pinky issues, the man instills a passion in the pax to strive for more – even when he’s not there (after calling in an #EpsteinsMother …
9 Pax posted at AC Flora’s parking lot to see what Rhonda and YHC had planned. Rhonda said he was headed to the football field and figured to be some cardio. He also loves to wear out the chest muscles so YHC was game for anything. Nice clear skies after sooooo much rain. Here’s the …

8 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Lingering in the parking lot adjacent to the #Mothership was YHC, who candidly searched for dry ground on this rainy morning. Those who were strong enough to defy #Cantore got better on the hallowed grounds of the #Brickpile as they …
Battle is an experience not matched at any other AO. It had been a while since YHC had been attended, and 5 minutes into the workout YHC realized how much he’d missed. Battle guys are not normal human beings. They’re a little nuts (as is YHC) and crazy loves company. This past weekend 13 crazies …
It was noted that YHC only posts at #Brickpile when it’s time to Q. While that’s not intended as any sort of slight toward the regulars at DHS, it’s a recognizable habit true of most. In fact, I’d argue it’s a good thing because if we all rotated around the F3Columbia region we’d never get …

Knowing how hard it is to push the #Thunder pax, YHC grabbed a goodie from the broader nation and dropped the original IronPax challenge on them with a little adventure mixed in to keep things interesting.
