YHC signs up on the Q sheet months in advance and had no idea that the 22nd was Turkey Day. It was a classic fartsack day that YHC was forced to post for and it was good. YHC had two Qs planed and opted for this one. Weather 40 degrees Disclaimer/Prayer The Thang: Mosey around …
Weather: 42 degrees, Clear, Full Moon With today being Thanksgiving YHC wasn’t sure how much participation the Arena would have today, but we had a strong showing of pax with three running 4.5 miles before hand. Wonder how many turkey sandwiches that equates to…… Training Wheels came in almost late. Said he barely made …
It was an honor to be asked to come Q a workout a few weeks back by an AO’s fearless leader. My only request for him to be in attendance when this workout took place was agreed upon, and then reneged on just a few days ago. No worries though as the stars came out …
It was another Thanksgiving feast at CAT. Well we really had leftovers from last year. In other words… the same workout. But, hey, it got the job done. Five (5) showed up early for 3.5 miles of good rucking. Afterward we had 7 for some coffeteria at Lizard’s Thickett. As we were getting started, several …
Surge was a little chatty this AM and it was good. Wee Wee got in a little trash talk for the big game. Nail Pop was Nail Pop, always talking.

YHC turns 39 today and this has been a year of ups and downs for sure. I can specifically remember Christmas 2017 when the kids woke me and M from sleep with a joy that makes me smile just thinking about it. That was certainly a high point since my last birthday. This past year …

Every day is Stair Day when your a Snakepitter so YHC thought we would throw in some Blocks to make it a little more interesting.

3 PAX in the Monday gloom for a Main Street out-n-back. Traded war stories from recent and not-so-recent #CSAUP’s; passed the deathsausage a few times and talked about the #goodlivin ahead.

Launches are always fun. This one, for YHC, was particularly fun because this AO has a little different flavor than our other bootcamps. The idea behind this one is we’re not beholden to the confines of a school of park. We can roam anywhere in town that 45 minutes will allow. 31 pax that posted …
The Gloom was at its moistest gloomiest this morning as the pax enjoyed more betterment in the cold blowing rain. These 5 IRON pax, however, apparently took an extra large Blue pill and braved the gloomishment for their betterment and that of their brothers. YHC was excited for the opportunity to break the seal on …
Posted on behalf of Fast Casual: YHC Fast Casual is not a poster when it rains, claims the windshield wipers on his spectacles are a hindrance. So he postponed his Q from last week (because it was supposed to rain, and DID NOT that morning) to this week. Well as Karma would have it the …

Since it felt like forever since I had Q’ed at Ambush, YHC snagged an open slot a few weeks back. I figured I’d do a block routine of some type. Moving forward to the day before… the rain and cold temperature influenced my planning so that the PAX would stay somewhat dry under the breezeway. Then, …

We moseyed down to the warm up area. YHC didn’t want to disappoint the PAX, so I kept the burpees in …
YHC Doesn’t make is a practice of Q’ing boot camps. That is not news, just a fact. Being a General is not my thing, I am a much better Sargent. With that said, the second week of November is always a special time. First my original birthday (11/10/64). Second my cancer free birthday (11/14/2013). This …

Awhile ago WeeWee noticed a few openings on the Q sheet over at The Hollow and since the PAX at The Hollow were so instrumental in keeping our Q sheet full it was a great way to say thanks and give them a week break from Q’ing. That doesn’t mean that they get a break …
6 1/3 pax post to Detention for a gloomy morning of blocks on the court. Bar Crawl was dedicated to show up even though he only had 15 minutes due to early flight, but he did show up, unlike numerous other Detainees that apparently are too soft to get up for a workout after a …

YHC likes to layout his workout gear just before hitting the sack. Last night he struggled a some to decide to wear shorts over his tights or to forgo the shorts in effort to reduce the laundry load. YHC knew it would be wet this morning and felt it didn’t make much sense to wear …
This was YHC’s first trip to the far east of F3Lex, the home of The Herd, Jumunji. After TSpot called me out on the twitter machine last week, I jumped on an open date. This place is ripe for a great workout. The pax worked hard and we each pushed ourselves to get a little …
The rain held off but YHC has a feeling the men of Turning Point would’ve posted anyway. The TP Twitter man guaranteed a snotwoggler. YHC hopes the guarantee was fulfilled. After a quick recon mission at 4:54am & seeing the soupy mess the field had become, the friendly Q had to make some slight adjustments …

Back over the Summer, Potluck had the Arena Q and only 1 other guy showed up. It just so happened to be the week of the gauntlet. I can only think that he jumped in there to Q to pay us back for not showing up for his Q. Anyway, we missed you Potluck. YHC …

I’d like to say that CAT had so many pax show up this morning that there weren’t enough bricks to go around, so we had to improvise. That is partially true. However, the real truth is, we used to have a LOT of bricks, that have somehow disappeared. So, when the 8th man showed up today, …

YHC was dreaming up this Q yesterday for Thursdays spot @ Smokehouse but a early morning text from Babe, the Destroyer, stating he was under the weather pushed it to the forefront this morning in the gloom. Sure wish i wouldn’t have left my weinkie at the office. Talk of not being scared of Babe …
14 Pax post to Boneyard to celebrate their 4 Year Anniversary. As Thumbs Up stated this is the friendliest AO in F3 Lexington and perhaps all of F3 Nation. They dont run but they do work. There was a lot of chatter about the absence of the founding AOQ, Say What?!, apparently the fartsack got …

YHC, a proud Appalachian State graduate, was overly grateful to the AP for voting the Mountaineers into the top 25 this week. Unfortunately, those heathens from Georgia Southern ruined the short lived party. However, the goal here was to share in the glory with the brothers of Shawshank, so all reps in this workout incorporated …
YHC loves this AO. It’s a great change of pace, great music, and good mumblechatter. Today, we had to Q it up on the fly, so we decided to let all PAX lead in a round robin Q. No notes were taken on exactly what we did, suffice it to say that all body parts …
The CAT guys announced on Friday that they were planning to come join us for the Saturday semi-vergence of surrounding AOs. So I figured I better have something fun for them. The block workout used was one previously “rained out” by one of the hurricanes so I wasn’t sure how things would go. It seemed …

I enjoy traveling around to different AOs to Q, especially Graveyard. Bulldog and the PAX there have a great thing going and always make me feel welcome.

YHC was excited to be back at SnakePit for a weekday BC and lead the workout. Today’s workout came off a switch-a-roo with HB as YHC was originally slated to lead on Tuesday but scheduling conflicts arose and I was able to bring the heat on a “cool” fall morning. The pax quickly welcomed me …
YHC was asked to fill in as a Mystery Q about 15 hours prior to the boot camp so there was a little bit of head scratching to come up with a Q on such short notice. Note: it’s always good to have a Q in your back pocket you can pull out in a pinch. …
CONDITIONS: 44 and clear DISCLAIMER AND OPENING PRAYER YHC was supposed to have the Thursday Q but after discussing with Kukoc what his plans were so as to avoid duplication he asked to switch Q’s. I agreed but said only if we keep it a secret. So with this change YHC had to come up …

The men of the Shank answered the call this brisk morning to enjoy a full moon and some odd exercises. YHC brought a rather large weinke (ok, it was a full dang page of notebook paper) and still didn’t really follow it, so hopefully this captures everything in order… The weather: 47 and cool with a …
20 Pax posted to Turning Point for a cool morning block workout. Wapner tried to tell YHC how to Q before we got through the disclaimer. We all know how well that worked. Wapner and his side-kick Blindside tried to work their mumble chatter but it had zero effect on YHC. The chatter level dropped …
YHC always enjoys Q’ing at the new home AO and hopes to help these guys get better while they help me get better too. It’s been great to get to know these guys over the past year and watching new PAX become committed to each other. Accountability to each other and posting for each …
Weather: 50 degrees with a full moon The Thang: Intro, Disclaimer, Prayer Our AOQ claimed his 2.3 wouldn’t go back to sleep, so YHC answered his early morning plea for a Q. Fortunately that provided at least 5 minutes to think of a route for this outstanding group. Since we had not been to Kenwood …
