Having signed up to Q weeks back and also HC’ing to run Stride-lite prior to the 5:00 beatdown, YHC questioned his luck when he woke up this morning and heard rain drops on the roof. After a quick view of the radar, YHC knew he was going to get wet this gloomy morning and the …
20 Pax rose to the challenge of another Mac beat down in the gloom of the Crypt this rainy morning. YHC had an awesome hill blaster workout planned and had even wrote the back blast beforehand but when YHC saw the rain this morning plans were changed to avoid having to rename the hill Fracture …

No shenanigans were found in either neighborhood. Weather: 55 degrees and extremely pleasant The Thang: Hang a left out of the church …
Despite the possibility of YHC being on the Q twice in a week being a sign of the apocalypse (as pointed out by Quisenberry), 10 PAX arose out of the fartsack to put their rucks through their paces in the unusually brisk (for this week) Easter morning gloom through the hills of Whiteford. Today’s route …
On April 4th, on Easter’s Eve, 17 men posted on a soggy morning at Finaly Park for The Mission. This was our second installment of The Mission AO, and it came complete with rain to wash away the pounds of pollen in the air. Thankfully the men of the Mission preserved through the deluge to …
#TheHerd rolled in to find the AO wet from a morning drizzle, but thankfully the only drops that fell during the workout were that of perspiration from all getting better. We had a visitor from the West (like west Lexington, not Nevada or something). Turnbuckle had been jonesing to get out to one of the …
YHC wanted the workout to be awesome, so the night before he dreamed of a couple of new twists on some Shank favorites. The Wheel barrow up a large hill proved to be a real crowd pleaser. And who doesn’t like lunges down an entire length of soccer field, followed by a return trip of …
2 PAX braved the non-existent monsoon to get better. Not only that, but contrary to what many may think, @F3Boneyard dished out a brutal leg beatdown that will have YHC hobbling into sunrise service in the morning.

We had a really great workout at The Mission this morning, and have been presented our next opportunity to help these fine men. For the second week in a row, we had guys posting in denim. Today it rained pretty good, so they were soon working out in wet denim. I don’t know of anyone who …
Conditions: 69 and cloudy Another Saturday at SnakePit it seems that the fartsack defeated many of our brothers this fine morning. 5 PAX took the Red Pill and came out to take on whatever the SnakePit had to throw at them. YHC wanted to take the PAX around the campus to see what we could …
12 pax defeated the #fartsack this AM and posted Turning Point for what YHC promised to be a little MudRun prep for next weekend. For those not partaking in the MudRun, it was just a good ole fashion beat down. The men of Turning Point continue to amaze me with their will to push themselves …
WEATHER: 69 Degrees, Wet (but no rain Detour) If YHC is Q’ing, rain must be close (at least that seems to be the pattern). 13 dry PAX assembled for the second installment of a Thumbs Up wander-fest around our amazing AO with a 4 x 4 theme. Immediate observation by YHC, Mumble Chatter is …

I love Easter. You see, awhile back I got sober this time of year so the season holds a special meaning for me. For me, Easter is all about second chances. History is full of examples of guys being given second chances. During last night’s Good Friday service, Dean Wormer read the long account of …
Well back to Graveyard for my 1 year celebration of becoming another converted Sad Clown. It has been a great year, and recently hearing great stories of changed lives it’s my turn to add yet another story to this awesome book of success. About 1.5 years ago, Crash invited YHC out to a workout downtown, …
14 Pax posted for a challenge more of the 3rdF than the 1stF to Glorify the sacrifice and love of a man who lived #Iam3rd more than anyone. Total distance traveled was 7.6 miles.

This was a great …
Written by Cheech 12 PAX showed up dark and early this Good Friday for a quick run up Mount Regal. YHC has somehow missed every single group trek up this little hill so far and wanted that to change some day. Today was that day. Conditions: Breezy 63 degrees Disclaimer and go over route…. but …
There had been some requests to bring back the stadium edition of the Reaper. So when the pax want something, well they’re going to get it. And what they found was a lot of stairs, big boy sit ups, and plenty of merkins. Weather: 62° The Thang: Stadium: Start at near goal line, 21 Big …

It was a 52 degree morning and 19 pax came out to the Crypt to see what in store for them on the Thursday morning. YHC had his First Solo Q and now the gloves came off. We had moans and groans…plenty of mumble chatter and then it seemed to fade away for some …
(written by and honorably posted for his honor, Judge @WapnerF3) 18 PAX entered the gloom not knowing what to expect from YHC on his VQ. Would there be merkins? Would we run? Would we do counts of 20 deep breaths for 45 minutes straignt? What’s with those kiddie pools lined up along the building, and …

11 Pax including 1 FNG (Canseco) post to Turning Point for a Ranger lead workout. YHC appreciates the Pax improvization of the first attempt at a track relay. The Q will do better next time. Great effort was put in by all as the intensith increased throughout the workout. Great to be with the men …
The workout started by numbering off to begin the merkinfest. One pax will be doing merkins for the entire 45 min workout. When a pax finishes AMRAP his merkins, he calls out the next number and that man stops wherever they are and begins doing an AMRAP set of merkins. Sounded real fun on paper. …
30 PAX gathered to experience Peachy’s comeback. YHC hasn’t taken the Q at the Shank lately and was glad to get back in the saddle. The weather was nice (upper 40’s) and the PAX were ready. 15 PAX assembled at 4:50 for Stridelite and a 3.4 mile run. That very well may be a Stridelite …
So there has been a lot of talk about BRR training and YHC still isn’t sure if he’ll sign up or not. However, if he does training needs to start sooner rather than later. So why not get some running in with the Crypt crew in the form of suicides on Cemetery Hill and other …
30 Pax braved the gloom of Graveyard to enjoy a lovely beatdown from YHC. Being YHCs first time on the Q at this AO the plan was to lay it down hard and make F3LEXSC’s mothership AO earn their title. YHC brought along the yoga mat and water bottle but hesitated to bring them to …

My F3 brothers at Jumanji have been encouraging me to write a pre-blast to highlight my upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua. I do this humbly as I am not necessarily a big fan of bringing attention to myself. I’m simply doing what the Lord is telling me. If you were to tell me at the …
3 Pax woke up this morning and decided they wanted to get better. So they drove over to Pilgrim Lutheran Church to find that at least they weren’t the only ones who decided to run on this unseasonably cool morning. YHC has decided to HC for the 2015 BRR so hill work was the goal. …
Another unofficial Post for Graveyard. Evidently PYT didn’t like the Crapper talking about his Legs last Saturday b/c I think that all we did was Legs, but I can’t remember since there’s no record of it. The 1 thing I do CLEARLY remember from Thursday’s workout was PYT calling YHC out for a 200 …
The YHC got up early this morning very excited about the workout he had planned for this unusually cold and wet Graveyard morning. Motivated from comment from others that Graveyard is “soft”, “easy”, “nice break”, and other obsurd adjectives. He felt that these comments were fueled from trolls who still live in their parents basements …
Do you know anything about The LEAP? Is it… A. What we were all hoping would lead to Tom Brady seriously bruising his ego? I know I was hoping that Bill Belichick had leapt just before him and Tom would have landed on Belichick down in that lagoon and neither one of them would coach or …

12 PAX made their way out to the chilly gloom of Turning Point with the promise of a “special” visitor by the QIC. Before he would reveal who that “special” visitor was, the QIC inflicted some major pain in the arms, upper body, and abs with a heavy dose of brick work and core ab …

The evening before the gloom YHC got a DM on the Twittersphere that someone wanted to borrow YHCs sandbags for some other training. YHC initially thought about just using some bricks and blocks for the workout today, but since the sandbags were there why not go ahead and use them. So the pax were introduced …

After being called out by our very own No Help, YHC decided to take on his Vice Q. What followed was a mess of 21 counts and lots of brick err… block work. 14 PAX took up the challenge and proved to YHC that they could take any junk I threw at them. Thanks to …
YHC took the snakepit Q at the last minute Monday night. Luckily I have some go-to workouts in the back pocket. Prior to F3 YHC worked out in his garage. Sometimes I didn’t want to put too much mental energy into coming up with a smoker. On those days my default was lady luck and …
A RECORD CROWD at turning point as 30 pax accepted the challege of The Kamikaze. This was the first time for a continuous running format with no bricks to see how much could be done in about 40 minutes. Tremendous results by all. We will do this again on April 23 and see how much progress …
28 Pax (Including 2 FNGs (Nightlight and Kenny-G) and a late arriving Dunphy for a double down from his earlier post at Turning Point) were tested on the fields at Shawshank for a Ranger Lead Field Day (No Games).

“So let us not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” ~ Galatians 6:9 Since the #BRR last year, YHC has been “out of it”. Damn near taking the #bluepill in fact. YHC still signed up to do …
YHC made a promise to himself, that he would branch out this year and Q at all the AOs of Lexington, so when he saw an opening at Jumanji this AM he jumped at the chance. YHC had heard the rumors of “the herd” of Jumanji and knew he would be an outsider showing up …
Conditions: 60 degrees and beautiful. 5 Pax stumbled upon the shores of Lake Murray this morning, with Kettlebells in hand, for a fast paced work out on what can only be described as the perfect morning. It was short sleeve weather, low humidity, and a nice crisp breeze that kept the sweat at bay. This Lexington / Lake …
5 Pax took on YHCs challenge to get better at Stride this morning. Scrambling to the AO this morning for a little double-down extra credit work, YHC notices the Candystripemobile already there at 0445. Pulling into my favorite spot I notice that the car is empty and a bouncing headlamp streaks by. #Shouldhaveknown #Hedoesntsleeptruefact After …
Weather: 51 and nice 12 PAX posted at Crusade for a nice stroll up Regal Mt. BOM: Prayer by Freon. The thang: Head out of Pilgrim Lutheran Church parking lot and head toward the Speedway (Hess) for a twenty minute out and back. Everyone made it back safely, so that’s the most important thing. The …
With a few regulars out recovering, 11 (nope, make that 12 with CandyStripe squealing in on 2 wheels) pax managed to unass the fartsack and post what was promised the night prior to be a challenge for all. YHC had a few new things mixed with some old in store for the pax. Conditions: 49° with clear …
YHC went back to his old stomping grounds this morning. It was nice to get an extra 15 minutes of sleep before heading out into the gloom. It had been a little while since YHC had Q’d at Graveyard and missed the black pellets. So he came back and attempted to lay down a good …

6 Pax dragged their beaten lower appendages out of the fartsack this morning for a YHC post P200 recovery beatdown. (As opposed to those who stayed in the fartsack beating on one) The Herd of Jumanji happens to be the epicenter of @F3LEXSC Palmetto 200 runners. They boast a 60% participation rate in the P200 out …
Having worked out with the SnakePit pax before, YHC knew these guys were animals. In trying to mix things up a bit for the SnakePitters, YHC got a few funny looks though and lots of Wedgie chatter when I called out the names of some of the exercises. However, the pax didn’t disappoint and even …
Knowing what kind of high standards Shawshank demands of its Q’s and the endless jokes if a beat down is not delivered, YHC came prepared.I know YHC left feeling smoked and hope the PAX felt the same way. BTW, YHC misspoke (as he often does) and said curls with the girls, instead of curls for …

22 faithful poured into #Crypt this morning for one of several reasons. Some came to share P200 war stories. Some came for the 2nd F. Some came to sing the praises of their bracket. Some came to get in on ordering a really cool shirt (#shamelessF3plug). Regardless of motivation, everyone got their bracket busted by …

Yellow Cake asked YHC last friday to Q today. YHC accepted the challenge, and the planning began. Last Monday’s repeat-o-rama with Kimye left YHC bedazzled. Here was a true professional encouraging the Pax to push harder, longer, to get better together, and yet YHC had to bring the same today. YHC thought about 45 minutes …
With what’s left of the Stride faithful preparing for their P200 race, two faithful posted for an oldie but goodie route around Lexington. TCLAPS to those running and completing the P200 relay!

This will serve as the “Official Backblast” of the 3/21 Graveyard workout until another one makes it’s way to the Interwebs. 21 Pax entered the gloom that beautiful Saturday morning to receive the Beatdown of Epic proportions like PYT is known to give. What they received was far from that. Rivaled more of what you …
12 pax posted at Turning Point for a workout on the day YHC turned 37. The workout featured the #37 in multiple forms (3 x 7 = 21 and 3 + 7 = 10), also given that today was the 21st of the 3rd month. Also the pattern of the COP stations made a 3 …
**Written by Knozit** 19 pax, including 2 FNGs (Monkey Wrench & Beaker). Another great morning at Shawshank. YHC wanted to provide the pax with a “Ground & Pound Special”.

Conditions: 55 deg and light drizzle To the dismay of YHC, woke up to light rain even though the forecast was calling for clouds only, with rain later in the day. Fortunately that did not stop 6 pax from pulling themselves from the fartsack for a brisk (sub 15 min/mile) pace across the Lake Murray …
One of those post where you know the numbers will be small, a lot of PAX are somewhere between Elloree and Charleston, either pounding the roads or packed in a rental van. That leaves four to hold down the homefront – a convergence at that. Jumanji and Strut would post at the Muthership and following …

YHC has been out of town for 2 weeks. With no accountability in the hotel world and in a strange city, zero workouts were performed. YHC realized how much he misses and needs his brothers in the gloom. The favor was repaid to the 12 faithful who posted this AM at The Shank. Conditions: 55 …
There is nothing quite like following up a Fartsack double down with a Saturday Q, so not only have I been absent a week (no excuses, because the PAX called out YHC on all of them) but YHC has been tasked with leading men of iron to the point of failure. PAX put forth great effort, …
Love seeing the growing numbers at Turning Point as this place ain’t no joke. Big Hill’s, lots of options, Strong Q’s even the VQ’s are top notch. 10 PAX gathered together to get a little shoulder and calve sculpting in today. COP SSH – 25 IC Carolina Dry Docks – 15 IC TTT – 25 …

13 pax ignored the #Cantore forecast and posted for a misty Friday morning in the Gloom. The forcast called for a chance of showers this morning, but we only got a slight mist. While a few Crusade Regulars are running the Palmetto 200, we kept them in our thoughts and prayers as we #GotBetter. Conditions: …
During YHC’s adventurous stroll with his fellow brothers in the beautiful city of Charleston last weekend, it was repeatedly drilled into our heads that “we choose our adventure”. Of course wanting to share the “love” with the SnakePit PAX today, YHC felt it would be good to allow the PAX to “choose their adventure”. With …
6 PAX, including YHC’s 2.0, experienced four regional showdowns in a sweet 16 run to the championship. While it may have been a lot more clear to YHC at midnight, as the final touches were being put on the brackets, the PAX worked out the kinks and should expect another bracket beat-down before March Madness …

25 pax joined YHC for his second visit to the famous Graveyard. Not sure if YHC will be invited back since I didn’t follow the unspoken rules of the Graveyard (No work was put in at the palace and YHC made them do mary on the concrete). The Pax sure let YHC know they were …
10 pax posted at Crusade this morning to get better together. YHC wanted to give the pax a new route to try out. YHC has never run the route before so it wasn’t clear on how the pax would react. Of course, all attacked the route aggressively and did great. As an added bonus, we …
Do you see what I did there? The 6 aforementioned Pax realized that they too can run with the best of them. A couple more than the rest… but you get the idea. Onward we go… Conditions: 55° and quite peachy (he didn’t post BTW) Thang: Head out of the ole Parking lot and turn …

10 Pax released their sixes from the fartsack and took the red pill at Snakepit this morning, which considering the beautiful weather we are having doesn’t seem so red anymore.
