F3 Lexington Backblasts
Weather: 64 degrees & clear The Thang: Intro, Disclaimer, Prayer Spackle couldn’t figure out how to tie his fancy shoes, so he was given assistance in doing so. Several pax actually requested a run to the dam, and since Shake & Bake is running the dam as part of his 100k race tomorrow, we ran …
Three PAX show up on this beautiful Mother’s Day morning with the hopes of getting better. YHC arrived to find a basically empty parking lot as no one showed for SL. Although, Ebert was putting in some early work by doing some farmers carries with bells around the parking lot. YHC should have joined since …
YHC received a message from Hollow AOQ Iron Mary about leading this Saturday since F3 Lexington converged at the F3 3rd F 5k in support of LLS, Mac, and Shake-n-Bake last Saturday and YHC wasn’t able to complete the Q last week. YHC accepted and was glad to be able to lead the men of The Hollow this …
Weather – 65 Disclaimer Countarama Prayer 6 PAX hit the gloom to crush an out and back to Target. Announcments: The Mission 100K Prayer Devo: God has got it! Be obedient to Him and let Him win the battle!
The night before YHC told everyone to bring a headlamp. It was time to explore new territory at Ambush. 13 PAX did just that. The only thing that was missing was a monkey named Boots and a singing map. Lucky we didn’t run into Swiper. After the 9 SL PAX made it back the 1 …
18 Pax posted at TurningPoint. Some expected the 10 reps of less workout from Surge, but that was not the plan. The workout gave every pax the opportunity to accelerate their fitness, and all the pax were up to the task. Another great morning at TP. Conditions: Beautiful 63 The Thang: Disclaimer/BOM/Prayer Mozey around to …
YHC is still feeling the effects of a CSAUP workout from Ponzi last week, so running was not an option with a back injury. Instead, let’s just do a core workout that should be really easy on the back, right? Thanks for the prayers and encouragement, not to mention the mumblechatter, my dear brothers of …
There is always some anticipation getting back to the ‘Shank as these dudes are 100% beasts. So, YHC knew he had to bring something with some sustenance to make sure the Shank Pax went home feeling like they worked out. But who knew the mumblechatter from Notebook was going to be what it was. And, …
As YHC arrived for SL he noticed a Sad Clown shooting basketball by himself in front of his headlights at our basketball court. Odd yes but I’ve seen odder. Surely he’ll be gone by the time we come back from SL. Wrong he stayed through SL and BC. Tried to recruit him but no dice …
16 Pax post to Detention for a surprise Blockless workout. Welcome to FNG – Moana! Some pre-workout mumble chatter about block work motivated YHC to go Blockless. It was hard but YHC worked through an audible. Great effort and work was put in by the Pax with lots of enthusiasm for the Merkins and the …

12 PAX showed up at Graveyard this morning and Good Hands took them somewhere they had never been before, the RBHS Baseball field. Shhhhh…Don’t tell. We left everything as we found it and no lines were messed up or even stepped on. I believe Spackle stuck around to drag the infield afterwards too. Hard to believe that …

Conditions: Clear skies with a meteor passing overhead. A pleasant 62 degrees. To try to avert a defection to SnakePit for the Nantan’s Q, YHC searched the archives and found a 2015 Ranger workout that worked at this AO with some slight modifications. All PAX enjoyed the merkins and now we’re ready for the Nantan’s visit next …
12 Pax posted on a Chamber of Commerce kinda day at Surge. Since it was YHC first post at Surge, he knew he had to bring his best. Its not often that you have a workout where the former Nantan gives his disapproval, but YHC took it as a compliment. The Pax of Surge were …
The call came out for a Q, and YHC was requested to his own delight, so we set out to do some serious work and try to bring some pain while working with another brother. It was simple, kept all the PAX together, and pretty fun, YHC thought! Weather: 61* COT // Disclaimer // Prayer …
12 Pax post to Snakepit for a Merkin & Block workout. None were surprised given YHCs reputation for both in the workouts. Great push and effort by all to get better and encourage each other WEather, 60s and clear The Thang, Mosey to the Field SSH x 20 IC TTT x 20 IC IW x …
YHC was called up last week with a Q spot that needed to be filled. With the AO growth LEX has had, YHC has been visiting spots that are closer to home. It was good to get back to where is all started. Who wouldn’t miss the turf and pellet paradise? With that in mind, …
YHC has been looking forward to this workout for some time now. Any time the AOQ calls you out to Q, a compliment has been had. The pax did not disappoint in the work or mumblechatter department. Thanks for having me. Weather: Perfect 60 degrees Prayer Because YHC made a gentlemen’s bet with Moist on the …

It was a good day for Jumanji. We welcomed back Dinghy and Huggies and introduced Policy to his first Bootcamp…”WhatWhat”.

14 pax posted for some Friday Betterness. YHC was struggling to decide on a Route, since Monday was the Dam, Wednesday was Whiteford, and YHC would rather run the Reaper on a Friday than Mt Regal. So we ran a little of this and that… here and there and encouraged one another as we passed …
YHC was privileged to lead the PAX for a VQ in a leg beat-down day, complete with some tree-hugging PLUS an appearance from Kelly (the telephone pole chunk with handles) in homage to my bro Postal’s introduction to her a few months back. Minus an appearance from our AoQ…something about recovering from a gauntlet. Mumblechatter …
Mac was hosting the 2nd Annual 3rd F 5K to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Soceity so nearly all the AO’s in Lexington were closed to support Mac in this very worthy cause. Since Boneyard is a non-running AO, it remained open and some pax still wanted to get a workout in. In fact, 17 …
Posted by Wee Wee on behalf of Drysdale: As this was my VQ. Anxious, YHC posted 30 minutes ahead of stride lite for set up as he didn’t want to disappoint the founders of the AO and planned aggressively building the Q around his strengths. Here’s how it went. Conditions: 64. Clear. Stiff breeze. Welcome Disclaimer …
There was a spot open on the Q sheet for a few weeks after the Doctor had officially cleard YHC to run again. So naturally YHC took that spot, looking to make a triumphant return to running at the rooster. While the Dr. cleared me to return to full body weight running, the physical therapists …
Beautiful morning to get after it again at The Hollow. Eighteen (18) faithful took their DRP to join YHC and celebrate. It’s been a great 3 years for me and I have F3 Lexington to thank for it. I’ve grown stronger physically for sure, but most importantly I’ve become a better person, friend, brother, father, …

The pax of Shawshank, 10 strong, set out on a little adventure this morning to get better and some weird use of Spanish came up along the way. Its just different at Costco. YHC promised there would be zero box jumps…and there were none. The temp – mid fifties, clear skies and a beautiful moon, …
Coming off a slump of not working out much, I found an open Q slot yesterday and figured I’d sign up to hold myself accountable. The next thing I knew it was about 10 o’clock at night and I was jotting down things to do for the workout. Hopefully it was entertaining enough and provided …
The brave Pax of Smokehouse wondered out into the Gloom for what they thought was a Happy Trees “Q”. After the short Mosey to the practice field & a thorough COP they then got the “Shaft” when Happy Trees turned it over to Defect. Then the chatter really started… “Oh so that’s why you showed …
….as AOQ. When YHC rolled into Ambush this morning for stridelite it was a strange feeling. For the last year it has been a pleasure leading this AO. Letting go of that is hard for someone like YHC who has a touch of OCD. But part of the point of F3 is to invigorate male …
YHC had been looking forward to challenging the PAX of Surge for some time and finally had the opportunity to do so. These men not only survived the challenge, they thrived.

10 Pax made it out for the abnormally perfect running weather of Stride this morning. In Lexington the weather goes from a tad chilly to better-cover-nipples hot in a matter of weeks.

It’s been a while since YHC Q’d at CAT, and Moist took notice. He challenged YHC to drop in and attempt to challenge the men from the other side of campus. It’s no secret this is a tough bunch, even after 2 weeks of The Gauntlet, so it came as no surprise they were ready …
Absolutely perfect conditions for my first Q of 2018. I’ve been more involved in the running workouts as of recently.

The search for muffins and Boo Boo was on! YHC had previously bought muffins for the FIA lex girls who worked out at the homestead and helped my M miss two weeks of posting cause YHC was consumed at the gauntlet. Originally there were enough muffins for the fia girls mo day and the detainees …
After being gone for the past 2 weeks taking on the Gauntlet, YHC was ready to get back The Stand.

Crisco is a new PAX to Smokehouse and had mentioned he would be interested in freeing himself from ultimate Frisbee virginity. Far be it from any of us to deny him that awesome of a request. YHC sent a late invitation to The Valley in hopes of getting a good game going. Those guys came …
After the Gauntlet we suspected attendance might be a little light but ended up only being myself and Hemingway for this one. Tclaps to Hemingway for being the only one to complete the full 10 days of the Gauntlet plus two unofficial days of Cryptonite! He’s an animal! CONDITIONS: Couldn’t be better Disclaimer/No FNGs THE …
What’s that? A Wander backblast? Written by someone other than Banjo? Miracles do happen… 4 PAX came together on a surprisingly cool Monday morning to get a little bit better than we were on Sunday. We checked the clock, saw it was 5:00 (which means we had at least another minute until Banjo rolled in …
11 PAX, including YHC, posted in the F3Graveyard’s “cool as a tombstone” sixty degrees of morning gloom.
