America Runs on Dunkin. Today’s #Amble challenge was intended to test that slogan through a choose-your-own-adventure race to and from the baited midpoint of the morning’s run. While the Kettle Bells were swung at DHS this Wednesday morning, the runners of F3 Columbia rounded Lake Katherine once more with a dozen donuts as motivation. Conditions: …
Labor Day, the day that, in contrast to its name, is characterized by as little labor as possible. It is a day of laziness highlighted by beer and boating. One entire 24 hour period to abandon the rigors of a normal Monday work day and instead find something completely frivolous to occupy our lives. F3 …
11 pax took off from Owens Field with hard set goals. Armed with the assurance that the track at Owens Field would be the recurring Monday location, the faithful showed up ready to push themselves and one another. Although the flight line across the street was quiet and empty in the gloom, the track filled …

Today the Monday/Wednesday bootcamp was launched at #Brickpile which presented the opportunity, for the first time, for the regular Monday #Amble to unite (if only briefly) with the maiden voyage of the …
10 strong gathered in the gloom for a new route that led the pax through the hills, parting ways at the first mile marker but reconnecting again for the homeward trek down Kilbourne & Shady. Several pax complained early and often of the solid beat-downs of the week demonstrating two things to the #Amble faithful… …
12 pax plus YHC (that would be 13 total) rolled into the KBC parking lot looking for an easy #Amble after the earlier pain-fests of the week. Calves were still tight from the combo stairs (Saturday) and sprints (Monday). While not too easy a loop, the 4 mile distance has served the pax well and, …
