We played holes 1-8 at The Hollow on Tuesday. UL picked up where we left off, playing holes 9-12. While we didn’t finish Amen Corner, hard work was done. Tclaps to the guys running V2V tomorrow that still showed up this AM. Conditions: 55 degrees, breezy The Thang: Disclaimer, BOM Mosey to amphitheater for COP …

Great to be back at Urban Legend. So many useful pain stations to please the crowd. Butler is YHC #1 choice so that’s where we went. The quest for the perfect Q continues as YHC performed the wrong exercise at one point. Appreciate the accountability, fellas. Glad to see some old friends like Pick Axe, …
Conditions: Cool and Moist NO FNGs Disclaimer Prayer Jailbreakers joined up with Urban Legend for a Dunphy Road to Sparta workout. Pickleball was postponed until work was done. Good work by the pax. Cheers did his paperwork somewhere so watch where you step. THE THANG Mosey to the Top Parking Pad SSH 20 IC TTT …
Stride once ran Butler Loops regularly and it was always awful. YHC decided to do this and incorporate merkins and squats at each intersection. It was delightful. Conditions: 70 degrees, 98% humidity The Thang: Disclaimer, BOM Mosey around parking lot and across the road to front of LBC COP SSH x 10 IC Hillbilly x …
Golf is normally a respectful, quiet sport. The patrons this AM at Urban Legend were especially loud and disrespectful. YHC’s only ask is if you’re going to mumblechatter, at least be funny. Nonetheless, we had a good time this AM and got some work in. Augusta National is a very hilly course so we spent …
Well half the morning was spent avoid in a big yellow school bus. Somebody musta told the driver to be at LHS at 6 o’clock to pick up a bunch of guys carrying around cinder blocks. He was persistent. But so were we, and we never got on. Today was a good cop, bad cop …
Non-stop action was the goal this AM. Lots of plyo movements with strength and cardio. Tclaps to Dunphy for the weighted vest. That had to suck. Or, maybe he was just hiding his nips. Glad to have the opportunity to return to UL. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Couldn’t have asked for a better group of men …
An unseasonably warm December morning greeted the 7 pax who took the Red Pill and posted at UL. YHC felt confident this one was going to be pretty terrible because Butler St was involved. The pax worked hard, gutting out a true snotwoggler. YHC expresses sincere cobains for losing the perfect Q about 15 minutes …
YHC planned for a dry workout this morning. No rain made that easier than expected. Well, it rained a little during the COT – just enough to get us damp before getting into our cars. Anyways, here’s how things went down this morning at Urban Legend… Weather – chilly, about to rain 1 minute warning, …
Time to wake them ABs up!!! This morning we focused on the core while getting in some Merkins, Squats, and stretching. Stretching is something we all need to do a little (maybe a lot) more, so I try to throw it in here and there during bootcamps. Weather was nice, of course humid and muggy, …
This morning was more about remembering 9/11/01 than a snotwoggling workout. We stopped intermittently to reflect on where we were that day and some other general reflections. It was a really good morning spent with some great men (and my 2.0). Conditions: 63 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer, BOM Mosey to grassy park Dynamic Stretches *8:46am: …
YHC wanted to do some of everything today and we seem to have gotten it. These guys put in some work and got better. The legs will he struggling this weekend. Looking forward to Dad’s Camp though, maybe some of these exercises will be in there, who knows. Here’s how it went today: Comditions: …

YHC was asked by a good buddy/F3 brother of his to make sure that Urban Legend was challenging as he wanted a good workout today. I’m not saying it was Brick, but you can guess all you want. Thumbing through some of those in the vault, the ones with the most suck factors tended to …
This is my first BackBlast ever but I felt pressured by Ken Doll to post as he said it was a requirement so here it goes! This was my first time as QIC for Urban Legend as I’m setting out to find 10 new AOs to come visit for one of my yearly goals! …
Fun fact for today… Some may not know this, but America voted/declared their independence from Britain on July 2nd, 1776. It was announced/published two days later on July 4th. So that is the day we celebrate (but not really the day America became independent). Regardless, today is in fact July 2nd and YHC recycled a …
June 25, 2008 was a big day in the Price household as our youngest son Cooper was born. YHC decided to honor him on his 13th birthday. You’ll see the rep counts are all 6, 25, 8, or 13. The quest for the perfect Q continues as YHC botched the SSH reps then YHC couldn’t …
YHC was so excited for the start of the Midlands Tour at Urban Legend. 25 Pax did the crazy thing of posting at a #BlameDunphy workout. Ranger’s bed head was present when I heard him call out the 1 minute warning. The mumble chatter was going to be strong this morning. YESSSS! It was great …
Not going to lie, this one was terrible. The work on Butler was bad but the 11s on Creps Hill were worse. But, we did it because that’s what we do. Nice running into 2 Striders and several Wanderers on Butler today. Butler makes you better. Special thoughts for Rock Drop and family as they …
YHC hasn’t been to Urban Legend in a few weeks and was glad to have the opportunity to Q today. Being in Myrtle Beach this week, YHC had to shed some extra pounds, so running had to be involved in the workout today. Argyle and Soaker were particularly fond of the bear crawl we did, …
Butler is one bad man so YHC decided to take the UL pax on a little tour of the elevation provided by Butler St. The pax were up the challenge as hard work was done and elevation was gained. Suck factor was high on the Butler St Mail Box Burpees. We’ll do those again. Conditions: …
YHC hasn’t Q’d at Urban Legend in a while because of some training he was doing for run events. So, it was great to be out here today, just wish we would have had more PAX. Pickaxe’s son Hatchet was out there during Spring Break. Ask me what I was doing at 16…it wasn’t getting …
70s degrees and the the end of running season (for some) brought out 10 of F3 Lexington’s finest to the best Friday bootcamp in the region. Dunphy has a little incident at Shawshank yesterday so YHC laid out a very intentional, Arrears-approved disclaimer. The streak continues as Dunphy had another boo boo this AM. He’s …
7 non P200 pax posted at Urban Legend and got in their daily acceleration with station work up and down the parking deck. Here is what went down: Conditions: Clear – 51°, Winds W 13.6 mph, 70% Humidity, felt like 51° Disclaimer / Prayer Mozey up to the top of the parking deck and circle up …
This morning was classic Urban Legend as we traveled around downtown Lexington and hit most of the major spots. A variety of work was done and 2.5 miles were run. Add this together and a #snotwoggler ensued. It was non-stop. It’s always a good AM when we can #BlameDunphy for something. Conditions: 50 degrees The …
With rain in the forecast, I send a DM last night. The DM read… “ok… HC… we’ll be hiding out in under the garage so don’t let the wet stuff keep you away” That message must have not gone through because I was there solo today. No biggie because the Wander guys were getting themselves …

A very merkin and core-intensive workout happened this AM at Urban Legend. We also ran about 1.8 miles in between merkins, planks, and ab work.

Our scheduled QIC couldn’t make it Fri AM so YHC volunteered to take the lead about 30 minutes before bootcamp. YHC has some experience Qing so it didn’t take long to come up with a plan. It was pretty foggy so we stayed on campus for safety reasons. Thank you to Rock Drop & Dunphy …
We celebrated the 2-Year Anniversary of Urban Legend this AM. We hated AOQ Argyle had to miss for personal reasons but the show must go on. This workout was specifically designed to hurt Cheers’ but, alas, he was a no-show. YHC wanted to hear the mumblechatter he promised. This was a complete OYO/AMRAP friendly to …
Today’s weinke turned into a tribute to 7-Eleven for some reason. YHC started planning things out. Decided some “elevens” would be good. That turned into doing 7 rounds. That turned into, well, this being a 7-Eleven workout. This would be more appropriate on July 11th (7/11). But, since tomorrow is November 7th (11/7), we went …
Campaign Q #2 of 29 in 48 days landed at Urban Legend this AM. The weather seemed more mild but after getting after it for a little while the humidity became apparent. We did some old man stretching then it was a pure beatdown then we did more old man stretching. Here’s what we did …
***Written by MacGruber and posted on his behalf*** Been a while since I Q’d at UL so it was time to get back even though I knew I would have to put up with Argyle and his shenanigans. Conditions: This probably comes as a shock, but it was steamy and moist. 1-minute warning, Standard Disclaimer, …
YHC was somewhat unfamiliar with the layout of Urban Legend and didn’t have a concrete plan going in. He felt like he’d just roll with it and develop the workout as we went. Not a great day to go in without a winkie considering the #F3MidlandsTour group showed up unannounced. The pressure was on to …
YHC is working on getting the Monica workout trademarked. She seems simple but she proves once again to be a smokefest. Here’s a rundown: 3 exercises and a run, 7 reps each, 7 minutes. It’s that Simple. YHC is adding a new rule that burpees always has to be one of the 3 exercises and …
Blame this one on the trio of the weather, Butler St, and F3 Cola’s Cesspool. The #F3MidlandsTour traveled to Thunder yesterday. It’s in the heart of the Shandon area of Cola. With Cesspool as the QIC, we ran around streets, using blocks, stops signs, and recycling bins as markers. It’s actually what Mac and YHC …
YHC had the Q at Urban Legend today. I thought about bringing back my “stars and stripes” workout from last 4th of July. But opted to bring another workout that would get the PAX thinking. Argyle and I squeezed in 2 miles of RL. Conditions: warm and muggy 1 minute warning, disclaimer, prayer We mosied …

As of late afternoon Thursday, we weren’t sure if UL was open for business. We got the thumbs up from the Nantan so away we went. The goal was to hit 2.23 miles for Ahmaud Arbery, who was murdered (I suppose I have to say allegedly) while on a run on 2/23. With only 3 …
Taking a break from running, YHC was glad to get back to my Friday home. Monica came for a visit. She didn’t disappoint. It’ll make sense after you read the recap below.

About a month ago, a region wide challenge was put out for the different AO’s to Q Urban Legend one week. The Turning Point regulars decided to jump on it and we grabbed the second Friday of the year. Worked out perfect- weather was great and the motivation seemed to be at an all time …
YHC always seeks out a Friday the 13th Q opportunity each year just to see what craziness prevails. It always seems to be the weather. Yesterday certainly didn’t disappoint…..so where does one go to Q on a Friday? Urban Legend…downtown 29072. These guys didn’t disappoint. They show up and they do the work…..dry conditions were …
F3’s mission is to “plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.” Last November, we planted a new Area of Operation we eventually named Urban Legend. A year later, a new leader has been invigorated. Welcome to the payroll, Argyle. We took a little road trip to …
YHC had the honor of leading the pax of Urban Legend for the first time on what is supposed to be the final day of summer. It was hot, it was humid, and 14 pax did the harder thing to sweat out the final remnants of summer. Good to see Dr Quin and Rocking Chair …
This was YHC’s first Q at Urban Legend. Therefore, YHC didn’t want to make it too easy, but not too hard since most pax are healing from or still completing the IPC this week. Certainly more to take into account when planning a workout at Urban Legend. YHC didn’t want to cross too many streets, …
With the BRR starting today and YHC experiencing FOMO, the men of Urban Legend did our best to simulate as many BRR legs as we could bootcamp-style. Godspeed to our guys running the mountains this weekend. Here’s what we did: Conditions: 76 degrees, 70% humidity The Thang: Disclaimer BOM Mosey to amphitheater SSH x 10 …
Sometimes you need to work on your weaknesses. YHC has many weaknesses some will be discussed later. There was no circle up, I don’t think there was a prayer, and since there were no FNGs I doubt there was a disclaimer, but there could have been. I wasn’t there. overslept my own Q, a huge …
August 16th mark a special day for YHC as it is my F3 anniversary. Three years ago a sadclown died at Ambush. I appreciate the support and accountability I have found in the group of HIM’s in F3 Lexington. Today also marks the first time I have been to Urban Legend. Below is what went …
“Butler, Crepps & Oswald: this is Banjo speaking…” The wait was over – the time to lead the PAX of Urban Legend had finally arrived! There’s a line around the block to Q this joint and there’s a good reason; with downtown Lexington and the joggable vicinity as your playground, the possibilities are endless. So …
The PAX of Urban Legend had a tough Q last week with Knozit taking them on a field trip (great BB too), so YHC decided to keep things “fun” and on-campus. The crowd was a bit lighter than anticipated, but it made for a better competition in the end, with some pretty winded PAX by …
Conditions: 73 Degrees and Humid – no rain The Thang: Great to back Qing at Lexington’s Premier Friday Boot Camp: Urban Legend. YHC really wanted to expand the Pax’s minds by going on a short field trip to a uncharted area. Great to see Field Goal back out in the Gloom, but unfortunately, he sprained …
Weather: Mid 70’s and humid The Thang: Intro, disclaimer, prayer Mosey around and then Cramps pointed out a nice hill that the pax would love to use, so we went there for COP SSH x 10 IC TTT x 10 IC Move over to the bottom of the hill to start the EMOM leg day …
Needing to Q at Urban Legend, I checked the Q sheet and saw that July 5th was available. I didn’t know what the turnout would be since it was the day after a holiday, vacation season, and a good day for guys to take off work. We had 10 PAX total with 3 being 2.0s. …
Urban Legend was originally designed as a bootcamp that moved around the Town of Lexington but safety of the pax was a concern. It can still be done but safety must be paramount. We moved off campus today, touring Virginia Wingard Park, Church St, and Icehouse Amphitheater. We did cross a couple of streets but …

25 Pax posted at Urban Legend this morning to help YHC and some others celebrate 5 years in the F3Nation Gloom. YHC knows that pax at UL like to push the pace, so some creativity was necessary to provide a suitable DRP that would provide some Acceleration. Conditions: 48 with a little breeze on the …
Conditions: 51 Degrees with wet conditions, but no rain The Thang: YHC enjoys visiting the men of of other AOs. And this was the first time Qing at Urban Legend. I could tell that this crowd was ready to get after it. These men crushed it while pushing the YHC! Intro/Disclaimer/Prayer COP – circle up in …
YHC was honored to be asked to Q at the “still smells like” new Urban Legend. There are lots of possibilities I down town Lexington so, since it had been a while since YHC had been to the Ice House Amphitheater, YHC took full advantage and lead the pax over there for some stair climbing …
With the D2D Relay pax resting up for the race, YHC knew a smaller crowd would post this AM. With that, we left campus for a small, safe road trip. Burpees were prominent on the infamous E. Butler and at Lexington Baptist. We also bear crawled and lunged an entire block of Main Street. Strong …
The best Friday bootcamp title took a hit this AM when Notebook took the reigns at Urban Legend. While last week’s QIC, Bulldog, is known for his preparedness, meticulously setting the scene well in advance of his duty, Notebook is the opposite. He plans as the the pax run needlessly around the AO. The juxtoposition …
The new Friday morning norm for many F3LexSC PAX is Urban Legend…a bootcamp option on Friday mornings at 5:15 (starting point is the 9/11 memorial in downtown Lexington). Why? Because who really wants to run three days a week! Better answer is: just another fantastic option for F3LexSC PAX if they want 3-4 bootcamps per …
23 of Lexington’s finest convened for some #LegDay action at Urban Legend. YHC has really taken a liking to this AO because it has a special blend of Eastside and Westside pax. We don’t get to see each other often enough, and this gives us an opportunity to hang out and get better. The past …
It’s not an Urban Legend Friday unless it rains. A little rain didn’t deter 32 men from helping YHC celebrate 5 years in F3 Nation. More on the impact F3 has had on my life a little later in the devo. After some adjustments to the weinke due to the conditions, we took off for …
It’s been a tough week. YHC has really been down in the dumps after the loss of Digits on Tuesday morning. There is no better therapy for me than spending time with my brothers of F3. That’s the beauty of this thing. We get together to push ourselves, but more importantly we come together as …
A little bit of rain didn’t deter 7 pax from posting for some Friday betterment. YHC was really looking forward to this beatdown. It was full of hills and burpees and all kind of good stuff. Future Qs at Urban Legend have plenty to work with in the area. Conditions: Highs 40s, rain The Thang: …
So YHC is intrigued by the new Friday BC in Lexington that uses the town as its playground and has plans to try and head that was as soon as he can. The thought of bringing a similar type WO to the Smokehouse boys has been on my brain and this morning they guys obliged …

YHC is very appreciative for all that Ken Doll has done for our region. With that, YHC saw that there was an open slot on the Q sheet for today and signed right on up. This was done without consideration of that fact that it was the Friday before The Wildcat. Not very smart on …
