So after a two week illness hiatus Tuesday’s Urkel Q hurt so might as well stay hurt and bring a beatdown for my Q…I stole the format from the Exicon with a Nub wrinkle or two and had no idea how it would go but me thinks twas a good un and the pax in …
Quite a change of pace with the weather this morning as cooler temps and lower humidity were greatly appreciated. A larger total of PAX showed up to support Duraflame during his very first VQ workout! 4:59 AM – One minute warning; 5:00 AM disclaimer and opening prayer Moseyed to the back teacher’s parking …
9.11.2001 Those numbers stand alone in American history and will always be remembered for what happened in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on that memorable day. Never (ever) forget! Who: F3 Smokehouse of F3 Lexington region hosts the 5th Annual 9.11 Never Forget Challenge to ensure that forgetting the events of that day is …
The Slammer had been on the Q sheet for awhile. Lego was asking, the night before, would it be the original Slammer of the BS version (Buzz Saw). The only way to find out would be to post and post he did. Of course, those of you who missed out can keep reading and find …
Weather forecast was extremely poor last night. Expected it to be wet and possibly storming. We were greeted with nothing more than a drizzle and some much welcome cooler temps. No one on the Q sheet so AOQ showed up prepared for the weather forecast with an idea but no concrete plan. 4:59 one min …
The night before there was fear of rain and lightning. YHC did not modify his plans mainly because we could do this under the shelter and because I didn’t check the weather in time. No problem, rain did not come in until after workout. Although the twelve drops was enough to get Coon Dog to …
It was great to be back at The Hollow this morning! YHC has been away for the last couple of months attempting to prepare for the BRR. Good group this morning with a couple new guys. Happy to see new faces! A healthy Region always has new faces and thankfully F3LexSC is still doing a …
Man, oh man, was it humid…again. There is nothing better than a bootcamp, in high humidity, confined to a shelter with no ventilation. That was the plan. Before we get to the bootcamp, let’s enjoy the leadup to the 5:30 beatdown. Lego and Buzz Saw thought it was a glorious morning for a run. They …
It was a warm and extremely humid morning but a small group convened at Midway elementary at 6 am. LG brought a soccer ball and football but the old standy by UF was selected. There was some running, a little jumping and many throws we wish we could take back. Good to have LG and …
AOQ jumped on the Q sheet to fill the opening. Night prior YHC watched some Shark Week with the M and 2.0s. Seems the M loves to watch Shark Week every summer and recount all the episodes as we vacation on the beach. That being said a few shark facts were researched to share with …
Surge was home to another Saturday convergence. YHC was trying to come up with a Q that touched upon some F3 Classics with some F3 Fun. So YHC came up with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and of course brought his favorite Waterfall type Mary at the end. Heres …

WEATHER: A balmy 76% humidity. Could be worse. PRAYER AND DISCLAIMER: YHC has tried this workout in other AO’s and after perfecting it brought it to Shawshank.

Nothing says “Let’s get back into the swing of things” after a long Holiday weekend, then a good old fashioned trip to the Gloom. The men of Surge showed up and had shook off any remaining lethargy from the Independence Day celebration and came to work. As is the case with these Beasts, work was …
No Q was truly needed this morning, just a PAX herder. It wasn’t too difficult of a job with only 5 PAX, with the exception of Shankopotamus who is always hard to wrangle. The WO was posted somewhere by F3, and Belding’s late night twitter habits caught up with us since he saw it and …
As another Independence Day came to a close, YHC was having trouble devising a Q with uncertainty as to how many PAX would post. Despite an indulgence in cook-out and perhaps some adult beverages, the men of The Bounty came through and YHC was able to deliver a speed-work beatdown. The Conditions: Mid-60’s and awesome …

Weather Conditions: 72° 3 Pax bested the fartsack and emerged at Shawshank this morning ready to work. Upon realizing that YHC would be StrideLiting alone, an alternate opportunity for some pre-boot camp setup presented itself. A few bricks and cones were laid out and a loose idea of what would take place was formulated. To …
Although YHC attended The Hollow on a few occasions, I never had the pleasure of taking a Q there; mainly due to a time conflict with YHC’s home at Surge. So when the chance came to help a fellow AO and grab a Q it was a no brainer to pick it up. The campus …

Well, YHC had the Q today after our VQ announced he had to pull with a leg injury. Talk about a let down. Guys were excited for a VQ only to read the announcement that Soaker was taking the lead. Guys decided they would be DR, slept through alarms, blamed the 2.0’s for being up …
It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a year since YHC was dragged out to the Gloom and introduced to the HIMs of Surge. YHC still remembers the apprehension of heading to an elementary school parking lot at a God-forsaken hour to workout of all things! How ridiculous and how strange of …

Argyle sent out a plea for a Q this week and YHC jumped at the chance to lead the men of Urban Legend again. It had been awhile since q’ing here but after surviving Dunphy’s tunnel of love the week before, YHC knew something totally different would be in store. The animated Robin Hood (fox) …
How did we come to the point where the Buzz Saw Slammer made another appearance at Shawshank? Easy…Cheers signs up to Q, hurts his back, Soaker takes the Q, Soaker takes a phone call from Buzz Saw, Buzz Saw Slammer is here. YHC had planned on planning the Q later in the evening. I was …

It had been some time since YHC had Q’ed a Saturday convergence, but whispers of YHC’s 2.0 wanting to come was a key motivator. YHC had a plan in mind, but circumstances changed the plans just a little. However the HIMs of the Gloom improvised and it couldn’t have gone better. Conditions: STICKY and high …

It was YHC’s first time Q-ing at Lexington’s Premier Running AO. Still somewhat unsure of what roads are better to run on than others, YHC tried to come up with a fun route on Memorial Day that kinda sorta-ish resembled a flag while the PAX donned Red, White and Blue. Needless to say the first …
Today the HIMs of Surge proved yet again why in YHC’s humble opinion that they truly are the model. It wasn’t easy this morning…..PAX went down and PAX picked them up. With Memorial Day right around the corner and since YHC had never done a Murph before, the men of Surge took to the gloom …

YHC offered to take the Q late yesterday after realizing the Q sheet was empty. Then…I almost slept in (Nub’s sister wouldn’t let go) so no time to put in my contacts which means it was hard to see the skunk this morning!!! It was awesome to have a larger crowd (12) post this morning …
Work was put in this morning by the residents at Shawshank during a perfect morning with a real feel in the low 60s. If you missed it, here’s a recap 12+ hours later. We took the Grout approach to zero warm-up and took off for one of the more straightaway areas of the Shank with …
Well before laying down for my standard 4 hrs of sleep last night YHC was a bit excited, as over the past few weeks we have gotten some fresh faces posting to Smokehouse and word had it that another FNG was gonna show this morning too. The thoughts of a FNG always make me smile …
It was only a normal 46 degrees this morning right? Well, tuck em up buttercup and let’s get to work. It is shame this is the first BB in a few Q’s this humble correspondent has written. It may not feel like it should be important but it is one of the core parts of …
Lexington’s west side celebrated 2 anniversaries today. We had the 7 year salute to Shawshank and the 6 year hail to The Hollow. Solid group of studs showed up and a couple of geldings (snip-snip pax). YHC has only been a part of F3 Lexington for 2 1/2 years, but the time has been amazing. …

Shawshank is known for being a tad moist, even in times of drought. After Monday’s monsoon, there was a 100% chance of dampness abounding. The fields were squishy, the sprinklers were on, and the picnic shelter had some big puddles. YHC showed up a little early to scout for a somewhat dry place to workout …
A good mix of HIMs did WORK and got better and faster today. We used several locations around the campus this morning, starting on the track where Dunphy tried his recruiting efforts on a runner. This hopefully soon to be Pax may have even gotten his F3 name without even participating with The Bounty, so …

It had been one day shy of one year since YHC had officially separated from the largest Police Department in the world. Not a day goes by where YHC doesn’t thank the Lord for the situation that allowed a 15-year career come to a safe close and the ability to relocate to Lexington where YHC …
A little buzz in Twitterverse and a personal HC from a prospective FNG last week got YHC all excited for his next Smokehouse Q. The stars aligned and the FNG showed along with a couple travelers from over from another AO. All was seemingly going to go well until it was remembered that the shovelflag …
YHC celebrates 48 trips around the sun today. No better way to celebrate than with F3 brothers in the gloom. This morning reminded me about my time in the womb. Warm and humid. It was good to get out in both cases. F3 is a great way to start off a day and another year …

CAT is a great AO to visit. The blocks are plentiful, the ground is dry, and the mumblechatter is always interesting. Stories are shared that are not replicated at any other AO (thankfully). The CAT pax are stand-up guys who put in maximum effort for 45 minutes. Last night, as I was eating my 3rd …

9 PAX ascended upon the gloomy confines of The Hollow this morning to see what YHC had in store. YHC didn’t really know either, but knew he’d stay off the upper body. That we did. We covered around 3 miles and hit the legs pretty good. It wasn’t YHC’s best but we got better. Disclaimer …
April 1st, just another wonderful day in the Smokehouse gloom but this day is the last BC before the bunny comes hopping into town on Sunday, so YHC decided to hop around a bit this morning to get some blood flowing (among other things flowing). An ode to the bunny or the hop, or Swayzes …

8 PAX descended upon the hallowed grounds of TurningPoint to see what was meant by “guest Q” in the week leading up to today. Those that were expecting a non-TP-regular were sadly disappointed (cough, Booster) when Pick Axe strode to the middle of the circle to give the disclaimer. Then, we prayed, and took off. …
The Shawshank gang was pumped to have No Help bring a beatdown ITG. The announcement went out, Hokie jokes were flying, guys went to bed to rest up for what would surely be an epic start to the day.

Some time ago it was YHC’s VQ at Surge. Nervous and unsure of what to bring to the table, a variation of a hero WOD entitled The Maltz was introduced to the men of Surge. It was condensed, it was less challenging but it got the job done. Fast forward several months later, 12 Pax …
Knowing that the P200 was coming, YHC needed to give the legs a rest. But, had to provide a hard enough BC to keep the Hollow trash talk down to a minimum. Therefore bear crawls and block work was the order of the day. Due to the threat of rain, everything was done under the …
YHC went to bed last night having just looked at the forecast. Rain was a definite so a beatdown was planned for under the shelter. Hank Williams was ready to make an appearance on the speaker and it was going to be a Shawshank hoedown throwdown. Keep it clean. My conscience was clear, I set …
YHC had to force himself to post the Monday after Dam to Dam so why not just Q The Bounty? What seemed to be a big mistake, turned out to be a welcome relief from the soreness, although YHC would have preferred another 2 hours of sleep. They say these recovery runs are important and …
The weather forecast showed lots of rain which means extra moisture for the grounds known as Shawshank. One corner of the parking lot had a Dunphy sized puddle which was avoided throughout the workout. Dark, cold, rainy…perfect for an F3 bootcamp. Wednesday was the perfect day for a trip to Lowes. Upon entering said supplier …
Looks like the rain has finally stopped!! The field was soaked so YHC decided that we would not be getting on the ground. YHC did not want to be wet and cold! The majority of the PAX were thankful that we did not get wet. Katniss on the other hand brought up that in the …
The forecast called for rain, rain, and more rain. There was a slight drizzle but not enough moisture to keep 6 of Lexington’s finest in the fartsack.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is comprised of horror, suspense, fantasy, and romance. The Hollow is largely made up of the same characteristics (not necessarily in that order). Much of today’s mumblechatter will remain in the vault. That being said…The Hollow is anything but sleepy in the mornings. These men know how to bring it …

Groundhog’s Day. A day which determines whether or not we will see 6 more weeks of Winter or if Spring is just around the corner. Perhaps one of the most underated parts of the the Bill Murray comedy classic is when a man in the Bed and Breakfast asked Phil Connor (Bill Murray) if he …

Due to some mysterious case of the not feel so goods a last min change was called for the Q and YHC stepped in for the impromptu route. Simple yet satisfying. The rucker/ walkers ventured off into the unknown and we all made it back safe and a little better after 45 minutes. Conditions: Calm …

Rooster BB’s have and always will be the pinnacle of truth! For instance, Urkel showed up before anyone else this morning and Belding lost his ability to sweat!

It was a lonely wait until go time this morning, but never fear, a few regular Smokehouse PAX showed up right on time to relieve the Q of the pressure of performing alone. By few, that means three. Must be a real alarm clock situation taking its toll on the PAX, we know the fartsack …
