F3 Columbia Backblasts
Nine men joined for the inaugural kettle bell workout at #Brickpile following our introduction to the bells last week by Swinger and Robber. The 3×3 interval workout proved to be brutal. Some of the pax were heard naming our Wednesday workout #Ironyard at the Brickpile. Similar to the bricks and blocks, the bells took no …
America Runs on Dunkin. Today’s #Amble challenge was intended to test that slogan through a choose-your-own-adventure race to and from the baited midpoint of the morning’s run. While the Kettle Bells were swung at DHS this Wednesday morning, the runners of F3 Columbia rounded Lake Katherine once more with a dozen donuts as motivation. Conditions: …
Labor Day, the day that, in contrast to its name, is characterized by as little labor as possible. It is a day of laziness highlighted by beer and boating. One entire 24 hour period to abandon the rigors of a normal Monday work day and instead find something completely frivolous to occupy our lives. F3 …
34 pax assembled at The Brickpile as Heartbreaker took his turn at Q. His theme: show up and deliver. And he did. The Thang: Warm-up jog to lower field. Don’t trip over #BaggerVance. COP: SSH X 25 Merkins X 15 LBC X 20 Up / Downs X 12 Freddie Mercury X 15 Boat / Canoe …
26 SwampFoxes ventured into the surprisingly cool and dry morning gloom for Stilts’ first Q.

Conditions: 73 degree and …
Roscoe got up on the wrong side of the bed Monday morning and took out his frustrations on the 11 pax who met him at Dreher High School. Nothing fancy — just a downPAINment to start the week off right. The Thang: Student Parking Lot: SSH x20 Jump Squats x10 Merkins x15 Jump Squats x10 …
11 pax took off from Owens Field with hard set goals. Armed with the assurance that the track at Owens Field would be the recurring Monday location, the faithful showed up ready to push themselves and one another. Although the flight line across the street was quiet and empty in the gloom, the track filled …
40 midlands faithful — including an incredible 25 FNGs — met at Seven Oaks Park to christen the newest AO in the F3 Nation: #Strut. Sway took the pax on a jaunt around the park that featured a taste of what’s to come, including burpees on the #GrassyKnoll and sprints up #HeartbreakRidge. Conditions: 76 degrees, …
26 including 5 FNG’s attended my first solo Q. Thank you to Logo for leading the last few minutes of the workout while the Pax finished. Yes, the Q came in last, but I did not hear too much chatter during the workout other than the occasional “This Sucks”, so I consider the morning a …
Once a year, this the first in the life of F3Columbia, The Governor’s Cup Half Marathon is run in our great capital city. On November 9th scores of runners will form up, as we did so recently, before the steps of the state house to begin a 40 year running tradition embracing so much of …
