Weather Conditions: 62° 8 strong pax in total did the harder thing this morning and were rewarded with phenomenal weather, with 3 arriving early for some extra miles. Based on feedback that YHC’s last workout was overly complex, the plan today was to follow the KISS method and dumb this thing down to a satisfactory …
This past weekend marked the 21st Anniversary of the September 11th attacks. All of us remember what happened that day and the insurmountable number of lives that were so selfishly called to an end. Many first responders that were called to duty in the weeks and months that followed sifting through debris and wreckage to …
YHC was playing with his favorite 2 year old last night. She wanted to race across the yard. Sounds fun, right? It was fun until she picked bearcrawl as the mode of transportation. Well, I beat her but paid the price. She got up and laughed and I got up and groaned. YHC decided then …
YHC did a different version of this one by himself at Surge last weekend and wanted the Shank PAX to experience the fun. I was able to do more rounds because of less light poles at Surge, so today’s suck factor was pretty high with the extra markers. See below on what we did: Conditions: …
It was just me at Surge today. I’m assuming that the Q sheet was right, so I just made something up on the fly, which is basically a normal Q for YHC. This was the workout. Conditions: Low 70’s and humid, some clouds in the sky Prayer, no need for a disclaimer The Thang: 20 …
YHC hasn’t been able to Q in a while. He was scheduled at the beginning of August but an injury sidelined him and he had to switch. Good day to be in the gloom with our brothers and getting some work in. We had a great crowd with some guys showing back up we haven’t …
Weather Conditions: 72° Six strong pax (four for Stride Lite) beat the fartsack this morning and posted for some boot camp fun.

YHC was scheduled to Q in a couple of weeks but was moved up in the rotation due to an unnamed pax battling a groin issue. No questions were asked but the swap was made. Happy to help out a bro who has a raw nether region. Coon Dog and Brick crushed SL before BC. …
While sitting around enjoying a restful Sunday YHC knew that there was a Q fast approaching at The Bounty. Other than go in there with some 400m repeats or 800m repeats or fartleks or whatever (not that those are bad), YHC wanted to leave it to chance. After doing some research, a new idea to …

YHC HC’s for SL and slept through the alarm. Thank goodness for the bladder waking me up in time for BC. 3 men posted for full SL and 2 posted for a half SL. Solid men who do not know the meaning of the word taper. The weather was hot and humid, perfect for working …
Weather Conditions: 74° Four strong pax (three for Stride Lite) answered the call for betterment this morning and posted for Boot Camp. From the start, the pax made a wise decision to give YHC full reign over both deciding the route for SL and the plan for BC. The freestyled SL route resulted in unexpected …
Some weeks back, YHC brought a version of a blackjack inspired work out to a few AOs in our region and got some positive feedback. So when asked to bring something like this to Crypt, YHC jumped at the opportunity. Step one was finding a date to make it happen; step two was finding a …
Shout out to the men of Shawshank. The Q sheet is so full, if you want to Q you have to really plan ahead. So YHC signed up 8 weeks ago, and that time has finally came around. The good Lord was kind enough to provide us with 98% humidity, which is the equivalent of …
Brick teed up this workout with a reference to dad jokes. Nothing gets the juices flowing like a good set of dad jokes. YHC came prepared to let a few fly but the other pax stepped up as well. Some really good ones were told, and some were real duds (mostly mine). All in all, …
The weather didn’t look too promising when YHC’s head hit the pillow, so there was a level of preparation that took place for a contingency plan. But…..it doesn’t rain at Surge….silly me. So the first plan was ready to go as 6 of the finest Surge PAX took to the Gloom for a round of …

Jailbreak had its official launch a few weeks ago. We meet at the picnic shelters located at the Gibson Road Soccer Complex. 5:15 start time. Cheers is the AOQ. One of the cool things about Jailbreak is the opportunity to watch pickleball. That’s right, pickleball. No ticket required, just the ability to run in a …
Weather Conditions: 74° & 83% Humidity What a day it was at the Shank this morning as 10 pax (1 for Stride Lite only) came together seeking betterment and searching for the ever elusive perfect Q!

Two years….Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday Scotch was in my kitchen talking to YHC and the M talking about this thing called F3 and some two years later we are celebrating again at Surge. What’s more, for the past year plus YHC has served as AOQ and today was bittersweet as …
Always have a back up plan they say….and whoever they are are right!!!! When YHC arrived with his plan to do a music-based Q, he was initially greeted by a PAX with whom he had recently done a similar Q at another AO. As such, the plan was abandoned and we went with plan B. …
YHC has heard it said that you cannot put a price tag on a real friend. Well, news alert…you can. The price tag is $1.80 plus tax. That’s right. For the low price of $0.90 per brick, YHC bought some friends today. YHC always wondered how much the pax of Shawshank were worth, and it …
Weather Conditions: 67° Probably the only thing more synonymous with Shawshank than our beloved sprinklers is that no matter what, it is always a glorious morning when the Shank Pax gather together and get after it, well that and Cheers still not being funny. This morning was particularly special due to our front row spectatorship …
Every now and then life has a tendency to throw a curveball our way. Today was supposed to be a celebration of a PAX’s four years at the model. However, with his 2.0 feeling less that 100 percent it was clear that this morning ITG was not his time to celebrate. YHC was humbled when …
Monday night was like most nights at my home. Time spent with the M on the back deck, chasing fireflies with the granddaughter, eating 1/4 of a box of Lucky Charms at 9pm. Yep, life is good. What a great night of sleep YHC had and when the alarm went off, I was ready to …
YHC had always heard that the mumble chatter game at Ambush was stronger than quite strong. Having only posted on one other occasion and having gotten to know a few of the PAX a little better over the years, YHC knew he was going to get some form of entertainment, and the HIM of Ambush …

There is plenty about the Cinco de Mayo Holiday that YHC was unaware of. So when trying to come up with a Q for this morning’s beatdown, YHC made sure that he was well informed about the day what it means and how it has evolved into what it is today. Research was done, the …
The Thursday Night concert series at the IceHouse Amphitheater is in full effect in downtown Lexington. Taking that into consideration, coupled with the fact that YHC has not been to visit the Urban Legend in quite sometime, YHC thought it fitting to try our luck getting onto the stage for a 2 PAX Rock show. …
With the Penn Relays coming to a close this weekend, YHC wanted to bring a speed workout to the Bounty which mimicked the relays by highlighting some of the distances and various paces that the athletes accomplished over the weekend.

As if the rain wasn’t enough to make a PAX contemplate a fartsack or a Q, the temperature was around freezing as well.

The Q sheet was open for Urban Legend and the best way to HC for a beating is to take the Q. This Q was a total winger, off the cuff, spur of the moment, spontaneous, on the spot winger. Last night, YHC downed a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream (heavy on the strawberry flavor …
In the past year and a half or so taking part in this amazing fellowship and brotherhood we call F3, YHC can remember attending Shawshank maybe twice, mostly because they were in direct conflict with home way from home at Surge. Also the #HIM of Shawshank were a tough bunch and YHC recalls that the …
