11 Pax braved a brick-o-riffic beatdown ala YHC in the gloom of Shawshank. YHC must say it was disappointing to have to do a solo Stridelite this AM. Suppose all of the runners must have moved over to The Hollow. Cobains for the delayed backblast. No time for shenanigans so here’s how it went down. …
YHC made the decision a few weeks ago to step out by faith and start Qing in other places than just the Snakepit. YHC needs to continue to push himself in areas that don’t necessarily feel comfortable to him and this is one area. The trip to Jumanji was well worth the step of faith …

What started out as a group text among 8 Snakepit regulars turned into an impressive 28 PAX showing for a Memorial Day post. The plan was simple—a Memorial Day Murph to pay our respects to our military personnel and those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy freedom—freedoms that are far too easy to …
2 faithful posted on a glorious Tuesday at The Pit. After getting bit by the Viper last week and blinded by the sweat; YHC toured the The Snakepit on Saturday in the light and came away astounded at the options here. This is an AO that needs to be visited more often by more pax. …

14 pax, inluding 1 FNG (Welcome Lube) got out of the fartsack to work their bodies this morning to burn off all the extra calories from the long weekend. YHC doesn’t usually bring gifts when Q’ing. However, the AOQ referred to YHC as the Italian Stallion the night before on Twitter, so not to disappoint, YHC …
YHC did a little research on improving speed and endurance at the same time because he wanted to do something a little different than what had been done before. What YHC found was the Yasso 800, which is a training format to help guestimate your marathon time and set a goal for a marathon (if …
2 Pax showed up for an early Memorial Day run. YHC and SOG determined the night before that a double down was in order for this morning. Run and then head over to Snakepit for The Murph. It’s one of those things that looks better on paper. We just figured, two workouts is better than …

17 faithful posted to the cooler than expected gloom at #Battle this morning. The #Gauntlet pax from Lexington decided the AO was the perfect option for concluding their weeklong series of pain. Honored to host 11 or 12 from across the river, we felt a three headed monstrous Q was in order. What happens when three misery seeking heads …
The broken record is that we keep calling The Mission an inspiring Post, Smokey said it last week, Cornstache the wk before, McLovin before that, Serena before that, Chaser before that, Stones before that, Robber before that, Alter Boy before that.

16 pax showed up this morning for a Scooper led workout where they were introduced to the new Track at THE HOLLOW. There was some mumble chatter during the COP but that went away once we entered the gates to the track. Lots of heavy breathing ensued, with some exercises mixed into the workout. Thanks …
With all of the BRR training starting YHC felt that a distance run was in order. Sure, these crazy guys need some hill work to get ready for their mountain work,but YHC needs a little variety in life. There was definitely a new experience along the way, but this unfortunately turned out to be a …

QIC was disappointed that he did not have a FNG for 3rd straight Q. I call this one the 3 loop option. Run down 6 towards 378, if made to 378 make a left, 3 loop option, thru Home Depot Parking Lot, down Old Cherokee RD or through Whiteford…….No one made it to Whiteford!!!!!! …
QIC decided to take it easy as the 2nd member oft he Brady bunch joined in the fun. The FNG(Cindy) kept up quite well. We were told that there is a Jan, but he is too lazy to get out of bed!!!! Back to the run, QIC decided to run out to the dam & back.
20 pax posted on a rather muggy morning to help Gravedigger & YHC celebrate their 1 year anniversary with F3. As YHC pulled up in the parking lot at about 5:15, it seemed very weird to only see one car (We gotta get Stridelite back up and running….pun intended), but in true Shawshank fashion the …
6 pax in West Cola took the #DRP this AM at Jumanji in what would be a full tour of the AO, including a brief visit to basketball camp. #TheHerd stayed on the move most of the time, traversing 2.7 miles during the workout. BOM led by AB Mosey IW x 20 Windmills x 15 …

The pax showed up at Boneyard looking for a superhero Q, but not knowing which one to expect. Well our superhero Q must’ve been The Flash, ’cause we never saw him. We completed the COP with Crypt (led by Quest) in hopes that our superhero Q would show. When he didn’t, we were posed with a choice: join …
***Written by Turnbuckle and posted on his behalf*** YHC asked about the Q schedule hoping for a date a little further off for some planning. The Hollow AO Q said Tuesday is available if you want it. Boy now I wish I would have waited. YHC’s math skills were less than desirable this early in …

9 Pax overcame the siren’s call of the fartsack and made serious downpainments towards their betterment in the gloom of Turning Point.

Five pax blindsided the fartsack and arrived chipper and ready for another body building workout on the swampy RBHS track. That is except for one pax that groaned when he heard that YHC had the 10×400 workout planned. He worked through his disappointment and posted a strong effort! Conditions : 71° and humid! Thang Hand …
During and after GRC 1277, YHC made the decision to never participate in another GORUCK event…ever. While it was satisfying, it was cold and it was hard and it was 13 hours. That box was checked. Then the M expressed interest in doing a GORUCK event and wanted to bring some of her FiA sisters …
6 PAX posted for a jaunt to the Dam and back. Not much to this one – it was 30 min out and 30 min back from Pilgrim Lutheran Church towards the Dam. We made it almost to the split and were able to get Swanson a fishing license in the process. Felt like we …

15 pax including 1 FNG posted for the newest and earliest Saturday AO in F3Lexington. The AOQ promised as smokefest on the twitterverse, so YHC tried to fulfill that promise.

YHC picked up the Q last minute for Boneyard and decided to do his first Weinkeless workout. YHC found it freeing and he even made room for a little fun and games! Since YhC didn’t have a weinke, I have no idea if the account of what you are about to read actually even happened, but …
The PAX weren’t sure what to expect with this being YHC’s solo VQ. Which caused some confusion at the begging with some questioning whether to go with the known beat down with Fracture at Boneyard or the unknown with YHC at Crypt. 9 took on the unknown challenge and were in for a Field …
Conditions: 35 pax came down to The Mission this morning. It was great to see pax from all over Columbia, Lexington, and Lake Murray make the journey downtown. YHC was gassed from the first workout of the day at Foxhole with Chernobyl on the Q, but somehow when it was time for the workout to …

YHC had promised another leg day during his next Q but decided that it probably wasn’t the best idea to do that at the non-running AO. So he pocketed that weinke and came up with another devious plan, one that involved a nice upper body burn in the form of a few rinse and repeats …

Normally YHC struggles to come up with a theme or material to recap what exactly transpires in the #Gloom every morning. Today was not one of those days.
