Rush Hour in the Rain

 Posted on March 17, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  516 words  |  

I just realized while working on this backblast that Rush “Hour” is only 45 minutes. I’m sure I’m late to the party on that one… YHC is on a Q quest this year. I’d been toying with Qing in Carpex for a few weeks, but was hesitant to “break the seal”. Ragnarok was my first Carpex Q, but Rush Hour was the first Carpex Q that I scheduled (after The Trudge asked me to release this morning’s Q in Raleigh). [Read More]

St. Paddy's Day at Lion's Den

 Posted on March 17, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  438 words  |  

With better weather than yesterday or tomorrow (cloudy and 40s versus storms), an insider’s scoop preblast from the site Q, and the opportunity to start off St. Paddy’s Day at St. Mary Magdalene’s, the chances were good for a decent turnout at Lion’s Den. As I tried to put together a decent routine to match, I thought to myself that things could get interesting, depending on how many people wear green. [Read More]

Why Did This Take So Long?

 Posted on March 17, 2021  |  2 minutes  |  297 words  |  

Today is Wednesday, March 17. St. Patrick’s Day. I led fine men in a workout at MASH on Friday, March 12. I’m just now writing the backblast, and I have no reason why I took this long to do it. However, I’m not going to apologize. I’ll just strive to do better next time. Warm Up Easy to remember since most of my warm-ups are basically the same. We took a mosey lap around the parking lot after the Pledge, then circled up for SSHs, Sir Fazio arm circles, Steve Earles, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Runners stretch and Pigeon stretch. [Read More]

BREATHE!

 Posted on March 16, 2021  |  2 minutes  |  335 words  |  

Over on the Dark Side of Cary, 14 HIM were volun-told by YHC what to do at Kryptonite. We gathered at the flag and excitedly waited for the EC runners to arrive. Then we listened to Hermes talk about his 5k PR and how he was going to take it slow on the main event. Being the ever-benevolent Q, I agreed to keep it to a reasonable pace (or I just leveraged the moment to subtly admit how slow I am…) We celebrated leadership in our community by delegating a pearls-on-a-string workout to the PAX.

FMJ DBB Day

 Posted on March 16, 2021  |  2 minutes  |  387 words  |  

My box checking has kept me away from FMJ for a while, and I am not fully prepared for the parking lot. I’m not sure what Ma Bell and Orphan are doing to this AO, but it looks like a war zone. I find a parking spot amidst the rubble and heavy machinery as Flat Saban and Happy Gilmore come back from an EC run. 8 for what feels like a pretty nice morning despite the weather forecast.

After being teased a bit with amazing spring weather, today was a day to test the PAX. Frankly we all failed as Carpex sites were poorly attended this cool rainy morning. Comfort won today hopefully lessons were learned… we’ll see. Here’s what went down for the stalwarts at Claymore today who decided to accelerate: Welcome, Mission of F3, & Pledge of Allegiance, begin warm-up with mosey to tennis courts.

Every year on the Ides of March, YHC has the distinct honor to celebrate the anniversary of his first F3 post. Today on the 6th installment I was honored once again to do so with my F3 Carpex brothers. We gathered outside the open gates* of Apex Community Park, home of A-Team, and noted the peak spring gloom, having endured a full 26 hours of Daylight Savings Time. 3/4ths of the ShieldRuck was on hand, one in a Cubs jersey #oversight.

No Weird Sh*t Here

First off, we are missing some names up top. This is what happens when you procrastinate and do a Friday workout recap on a Monday. If you are missing and care enough to ping me, I will add you in. What a morning. Short sleeve weather and a hint of dawn. Good thing the time change is going to get rid of that shortly. There is my first Old Maid sighting in approximately a year. [Read More]
