This morning was the 4 version of our new normal. Since we can’t congregate in parking lots, schools, parks, or wherever we have come accustomed to posting, we now have the ability to post virtually. Some of my favorite people in the world led these workouts last week and Tuesday so it was an honor …

It was noted that YHC only posts at #Brickpile when it’s time to Q. While that’s not intended as any sort of slight toward the regulars at DHS, it’s a recognizable habit true of most. In fact, I’d argue it’s a good thing because if we all rotated around the F3Columbia region we’d never get …

October 2012 was the beginning of it all in Columbia. There wasn’t a #BRICKPILE or shovel flag or many men downtown that even had a clue what F3 was or better yet, what it could mean in our lives. It has helped many Sad Clowns (YHC being one of them) get off the couch and …

Schools back in session and the return of the routine for Dreher starts early. Not as early as the #Faithful, though, who were out front ready to go this warm, wet morning. What looked like a big crowd quickly subdivided and the 50/50 split of the pax between Brickpile and SCORE made for a solid …

Not much time for expounding today, but here’s what we did – it was tough and effective, and the Pax did a great job working through it. In the opinion of YHC, this workout is a great “go-to” and a good one to repeat occasionally. Believe it or not, we covered almost 2.3 miles in …
I was greeted in the Gloom by 11 PAX who chose to get better this morning. #Tclaps to the 5 Striders who hit the streets earlier. Double digits for Surge Today humbled YHC. Lights do not come on until 0525 so there is your 10 minutes in the dark. Disclaimer and Prayer Mosey to Loading …

On any New Year’s morning, it is often a challenge to emerge from the #Fartsack in search of a way to #GetBetter. Candidly, many of the various #Jesters (whether the celebration of the night before or the anticipation of football on the day of) will tempt a former #SadClown to stay home and choose the #BluePill. However, …
9 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter with intentions of placing Monday in a firm headlock. With the frozen tundra of the #Brickpile laid out before them, these former #SadClowns attacked Monday courtesy of a full plate of #DRP. It was an honor to lead these #MinivanCenturions …
A Saturday morning to be out in the gloom. YHC came dressed in sweatpants, but was advised by the Dawn Strike guys to shed them, and I am glad I did before the workout began. I had promised a knee friendly workout, as both my knees and Neighbors knees have been hurting lately. As a result, …

#Brickpile, the original F3Columbia AO, started spinning out expansion AO’s a little over four years ago. First to launch were #Amble and #SwampFox but #Brickpile was so successful that those splits weren’t enough and a true, Shandon neighborhood AO was in need. #Thunder was therefore launched taking its name from the nearby Fire Station 9. …

Brickpile is one of the more intimidating workouts for YHC. It’s an elite group of veterans who have seen young bucks come and go. Nothing rattles these men. They put their heads down and do their work. Gimmicks won’t impress them and charm will get you no where. YHC and 13 pax went down the …
60 PAX (including 1 FNG) emerged from the #Fartsack on this cloudy spring morning in search of a way to #GetBetter.

Ever since Sway (remember him?) “encouraged” YHC to look for a new AO a few years ago, appearances at the Brickpile have been few and far between. YHC was honored to make the new Q list, so some old school fun was planned for the 13 of us who posted this morning. Weather: 67 degrees …
3 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. This morning was different than many others. There was no clear sky or dry ground to be found in the #Gloom. In its place, was rain and a call to be challenged in less than ideal conditions. Those PAX who …

Since the fated (but not our fault) locking down of the #Brickpile AO, today’s #downPAINment was strictly off the reservation.

A little later start time for the MLK holiday didn’t cut into the Monday numbers at the Brickpile. By vote, we decided to kick off at 6:30, instead of 5:45.

Nothing original, just #repeating sets on Ground Hog Day.

The American press has been shocked by the large crowds drawn by “The Donald” throughout this campaign season. Similarly, YHC was shocked when 10 pax posted in the rain this morning at Score.

10 faithful posted to a #gloomy morn at the mothership for F3 Columbia at #BrickPile. YHC was excited to loosen the reins a bit after 8 weeks of limited work due to injury. What better way to do so than to suck it up and accept Mission’s #MumbleChatter and take the crew on a little …

In the midst of my frantic preparations for Christmas last week, YHC realized that I had the co-Q at #Battle on Saturday and the Q at #Brickpile on Monday. Nothing quite like Two Q’s in three days, and I would encourage all PAX to give this a try (maybe just once). With the close of …
