F3 Lexington Backblasts
When Tardy sent out an SOS to the PAX that he wasn’t going to be able to Q (life gets in the way sometimes), YHC offered to cover. That’s what we do for each other. Fresh off the BRR, YHC knew that his focus would be upper body. Here’s what went down: Conditions: wet, rainy, …
6 CAT faithfuls did not let the threat of rain, running through puddles, or a two hour delay keep them from getting better today! As is almost always the case the rain ceased a few mins before BC and left clear skies for the fun! Weather: 70 and damp The Beatdown: Slowzy to the LOPAC …

YHC signed up to Q today because he knew after the BRR he would have the temptation to fartsack. YHC really did regret that decision the last two days. But not this morning. Feeling a little better, YHC decided to bring a taste of the BRR to Ambush. Read about it below. Conditions: Irma is …

***posted on behalf of Kukoc*** YHC knew it had a chance to be a sloppy morning with the incoming hurricane/tropical depression. I knew that many of the usual pax would be recovering from the weekend trip to the mountains but that didn’t stop me from posting. Whether it was the chance to run in the …
4 PAX used all three F’s to commemorate the fallen of 9/11. The world changed 16 years ago – and obviously not for the better. Our sense of security was violated, and a new darkness settled on US soil. While acts of war and violence are not new to mankind, it was this generation’s first …
Jumanji celebrated its 3rd year this AM with many visitors from all across F3Lexington. With many of our brothers running in the BRR, 33 total pax was a great turnout. Chum celebrated his last day as a 52 year old by leading the Boneyard workout, while a faithful handful of #TheHerd (Tuff Guy, Columbo, Swamp …

It’s always a good time leading the Shawshank PAX. Knowing that many of the Shank regulars would not be in attendance because they’d be getting their last decent sleep prior to the Blue Ridge relay, I planned for a relatively small crowd. While this workout would’ve worked out if we had more guys, the 8 …
CONDITIONS: 75 DEGREES AND HUMID DISCLAIMER THE THANG: Q Sheet was open for the day after a 3-day weekend so had to get it filled. Didn’t have anything planned so asked my good Chapin buddy MoneyPenny if I could borrow his Q from the previous week. Thought it might be fun. It ended up being …

10 PAX gathered this cool morning at The Hollow to get better. YHC thought that the crowd would be smaller but YHC wanted to make sure to bring a great workout to the PAX not running the BRR. We were still able to get some good running in ourselves this nice morning. Conditions: Nice …
Sound of the alarm had YHC bolting out of the fartsack today. Feeling somewhat sluggish, due to the late nights of the past two weeks as the result of watching the many late US Open matches, but ready to go, nonetheless. Today’s workout was bittersweet. Any opportunity to lead The Herd is welcomed but today …

It was Bring Your Own Bike at the Rooster this morning. YHC had a hard time dragging himself out of the fart sack this morning. After the Qdrenaline wore off from smokehouse yesterday and the PT double down late last night, there was little in the way of motivation to get up and going. Then …

The August 2017 analytics confirm what we already knew. We have 3 problematic AOs. Turning Point, SnakePit and The Hollow are all (and have been) averaging 20+ pax for bootcamps. In an effort to stay ’43 feet ahead’, a plan is in place and it’s big. We’re going to launch 3 new AOs in a …

YHC is a big fan of music. Seems he always has an earworm and is thumping, tapping, or singing (badly) something. At F3_CAT, workouts that include good music is always a crowd pleaser. With that in mind, I figured we would have music not in the background, but as part of the workout. Here’s how …
8 thrill seekers assembled ’round the shovel flag before dawn at Jumanji this AM ready to make their daily downpainment. With the College Football Season kicking off today, YHC couldn’t pass up an opportunity to lower the boom on #TheHerd while dropping some knowledge on the history of the games played between his alma mater …
7 Pax posted to the gloom of Cryptonite to take on YHC’s death by burpee. Should have been 8 but a certain Pax dropped his 2.0 off for a cross country trip and then hightailed it out of there. I don’t want to call any names out but his initials are Thumbs Up. There’s not …
***Posted on behalf of Brainiac*** Honeybun was scheduled to Q today, but his M’s surgery was postponed from Friday to Saturday morning, so Brainiac stepped up and volunteered to cover in HB’s absence (speculation was HB was running hallways and carrying patients up the stairs to avoid the workout DT’s). Brainiac put it out via …
19 Pax gathered this morning to help YHC and Happy Trees celebrate one year of F3.A little over a year ago YHC was struggling with gettIng out of the rut of being tired all of the time, eating bad and feeling bad about himself. YHC had lost his father not long before, another victim of …
Mac Qd Wednesday so it was YHC’s turn to be the fingerpointer at Stride. Yesterday was Boston Butt pickup day for YHC’s baseball team fundraiser. This seemingly innocuous event led to some strange things: -Meatball posted a head-scratcher of a GIF that YHC still can’t decipher -Dunphy, who ate the pork last night, feels freely …

There was a chance of rain and it is the week before the BRR, but the pax at C.A.T consistently choose to do the #harderthang, so 13 men showed up bright eyed and bushy tailed for a pretty typical (boring/not creative) Scotch-led beatdown. The mumble chatter happened early and often, which is encouraged at all …
Good to get back out there and lead again. Things had to be altered somewhat as rolling around on the football field apparently makes you very dizzy…at least the music was good though. Weather: 71 degrees with a slight drizzle at the end The Thang: Mosey to field and circle up at center (20) side …
25 PAX avoided the Fart Sack to get better this morning. My last few Qs have averaged about four PAX, so it was awesome to see this many men out for a run. We had a little Mumble Chatter from two PAX in particular about the route, but hills are in order for BRR. Always …

15 Pax and one furry friend took their DRP at Stride this morning. A Cherokee trail run sounds like we did some kind of indian run on the trails but since they have dozered through the dirt berms on either side of the bridge it can no longer be classified as a trail run. Everyone …
16 Pax gathered in the misty morning gloom of Graveyard mostly out of morbid curiosity of what YHC would bring. The recipe for the day was a tour of campus with a visit to Boneyard and Crypt but the finishing sauce was a search party for a pair of Elvis’. The Weather: 67 with a …
The hands of time are quickening their pace towards this BRR thing everyone is talking about (at least the guys running it won’t shut up about it…stupid Happy Trees). The team that carries Rooster/Smokehouse PAX lost a strong runner, that will be sorely missed, but gained a road smoking teammate from the midst of their …

Today was a celebration of 30 months of being freed from the sad clown realm for YHC. It has been 2 and a half years of getting better in all three of the F’s but I still have a way to go. Thanks to all the Pax who have made a difference in my life by just being friendly …

I try to get out to Graveyard for a Q at least once a month. These guys are max-effort, hard-working PAX that push me harder than I push them. I have a great deal of respect for this crew, and it’s not just because so many of them are over 50 and could easily whoop …

Cryptonite was pleased to be one of the 2 options for pre-Stomp the Swamp convergence. YHC warned to post elsewhere if a STS PR was your goal this AM. 27 studs posted. Not that our other AOs aren’t intense but Cryptonite, by design, is a no-holds-barred bootcamp that allows QICs the freedom to lead at …
Shawshank had 14 Pax come out to witness YHC’s redemption of “the worst” Q of all time. Apparently, some PAX thought that 500 Merkins wasn’t making anyone better during the last Q. Good thing there were better plans in place, even if it was a little lackluster in execution. It was good to see these …
YHC was filling in today for a brother that needed to swap Q’s. Due to a little bit of a short notice, YHC wasn’t exactly in the best shape to deliver the epic beatdown to met his standards. Actually, YHC didn’t want to take the little red pill at all! The Fartsack had a strong …

The BB from August 19, 2014 was titled “F3 Lake Murrays Newest AO is alive!!!”. The BB was written by our very own Chinstrap (may have been the only BB he has ever written), but he made some powerful comments that YHC felt all needed to be shared with the rest of the PAX. In …

16 Pax lifted their sixes from the fartsack and joined YHC in the gloom on the first day of school/kids last day of summer. Just like the 2.0s most of the Pax were enthusiastic about waking up and getting to work and some were just down right stubborn and grumpy. Ok, that was just Notebook. …

Burpees suck. – Dozer YHC is no prophetic thinker, he just states the obvious. However, one of the things I have learned in 3 plus years of F3 is that there is no other single exercise that does as much for you as the burpee. Another informational nugget YHC has learned is that in order …

Several faithful Turning Point pax, and even some that roam from AO to AO came out to Turning Point this morning to see if YHC could still call an exercise.
