Sleep Training

Posted on July 22, 2019 | 2 minutes | 326 words |

Late Sunday night (like 9 PM) I noticed that there was a Q change. Sir Joseph Smith Esquire was in the throes of sleep training and needed someone to take his Q. Pet Sounds undoubtedly pulled the short straw from the PAX at the Sublime concert and would be our substitute Q……………what could go wrong??? I mean the concert was at Koka Booth, just sleep in your BFT, set your alarm for 5:25 and figure out the rest. [Read More]

FEW-kway

19 PAX, including some strong mother-ruckers, gathered round the flag at Green Hope Elementary in search of their morning Fs. It was a chatty group, so while the ruckers headed off on their journey, the rest of us moseyed around the trail to the other side of the big athletic field. But first, Hi-Liter met the challenge of reciting the mission of F3. The disclaimer was referenced, and allegiance was pledged. [Read More]

Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/2533656518 17 Pax gathered at Cary’s Koka Booth VIP lot ready for a high tempo beatdown led by YHC (or why else would I be writing the BB?) As the crowd gathered it appeared we’d also have a high tempo mumblechatter kinda morning. And boy did we. 1 FNG, formerly known as “Ken”, now referred to as Snapback was there. He has lived here about a year and was a referral from the Cape Fear boys, where SB used to live. [Read More]

Ditch the Rock and Run the Race!

Posted on July 9, 2019 | 3 minutes | 449 words |

Showed up for the prerun and they said I could pick the route since I was the Q. Great, I always like doing routes backwards so lets do that! Which one?? Humm, Option 2. I knew that one well. Fast forward 20 minutes or so and I am confidently telling Largemouth that we are looking for a left but we weren’t. We missed the right turn but thankfully Largemouth got us back and only a minute or so late. [Read More]

The Freedom Trail July 4th Convergence

Posted on July 5, 2019 | 3 minutes | 572 words |

@Qwerty, @Red Ryder and YHC met last week to plan the 2019 July 4th Convergence hoping to create something special. Our goal was to keep the PAX together in order to preserve fellowship and maybe a few exercises in-between. The disclaimer was disclaimed, the F3 Mission was delivered and Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner put the PAX in a USA state of mind that included a Fly Over courtesy of Delta. [Read More]

Q-School: Exam Day

Posted on June 26, 2019 | 2 minutes | 293 words |

It was a good day for a VQ, thanks to the perfect mix of humidity, heckling, helpful encouragement, and reminders from Shut-In that the things he brought up in Q school were better applied than remembered. Despite lots of “you’re starting at SNS?” questions we’re off. Mosey in the unusual direction from the flag, getting started at the ropes course parking lot. After a brief attempt to keep up appearances by suggesting that Build-a-Bear was passing the test in observing my counting woes, we found the correct combination of pauses and cadences to get going.

Yeah, I know, another BRR inspired workout

Posted on June 26, 2019 | 2 minutes | 392 words |

Denali, bless his heart, he means so well, introduced Bagels (owner of Duck Donuts) and Greenbo to all the other pax. That guy has a heart of gold, and a penchant for making good coffee, but more on that later. Thank you for your leadership. Since there are no FNGs, we are off. Mosey to the HCL America parking lot, hopefully we won’t get kicked out, and do a little warmup, various exercises including runners stretch and pigeon pose. [Read More]

We moved, we sweat, we got going like a turbo vette! It was a swampy morning at Gran Torino, so we just jumped into it. Warmup: Good Mornings - Pretty weak on the Nature Boy imitations SSH Merkins LBC’s Merkins We’re off The Thang: 4 groups of 2, one group of 3 on the soccer field. We ran opposite directions around the perimeter of the soccer field, and met for 10 LBC’s. [Read More]

What the Hill

Posted on June 5, 2019 | 2 minutes | 386 words |

The day didn’t start just like any other day. The FartShat was oh so close, butt didn’t rear its ugly head till the drive home from work, but that’s another story. With BRR around the corner, 94 days to go, the training has begun for many newbies and veterans alike. And feeling a little behind the curve following last years nipple run, it’s time to get into hill shape. Warm Up jog around the parking lot and circle up for various warmup exercises including runners stretch. [Read More]
