Men at Work

When the M tells you that your plans are canceled and you are able to go work out AND you see that there’s a vacancy in the Q spot. Coincidence or Providence? It matters not because there was work to be done. Warm Up: Jog over to the grassy area and square up. 20x SSH IC 10x GM IC 10x WM IC 10x IW IC Head back over to the parking lot where we line up on the curb for… [Read More]

What the heck is an Octothreat

As the Twitterserve would have it, YHC and some of the fellas including Captain Insano got into a deep-cut thread over the weekend and thus was born the “Octothreat.” With the pressure of the entire F3 Nation, YHC set out to embark the PAX on the first-ever Octothreat. But first, another solid showing at Insomnia. YHC was looking for the easy way out before the Q on this morn, but the peer pressure pushed YHC into the 0505 start time (sorry to Angry Elf who showed up like a HIM at 0520 for recon). [Read More]

Mucho Muscle Monday.....................Hells Bells

Pre-BB Apex’s newest workout did not disappoint this morning. It was raining, but 7 great PAX came out to start the week off right. Pleasure Qing this morning. Everyone needs to try this workout, new kind of sore. :) Had to announce that Crimson can drive as well. I saw it this morning. No Sooey, but we had the honor of having Crimson. I think that Red Ryder is close to forgiving me for selecting the rock on Friday so that is a positive sign. [Read More]

1/27/17

15 PAX joined me this morning to celebrate my 1-year F3 Anniversary. One year ago, my good friend Crimson convinced me to be ready to go at 5:15 am for a workout on a cold January morning. When I arrived at Dante’s Peak, I was overwhelmed with new people with funny nicknames including our Q (which I eventually figured out was the leader) named Hotspot. I don’t remember what all we did that morning other than bear crawl the bridge at DP but I thought there was no way I’d be back much less lead a workout. [Read More]

Saturday lunch bunch

YHC was on the home front on this Saturday morning. With that, YHC put it out there, “any him looking to join for a mid-day beatdown, we’ll launch from SNS at 1130,” and the boom in the gloom saw YHC, Disco Duck, Ollie and Mojo roll out. The entire thang: Run to the lot at High House and Cary Pwy for quick feet, cerkins, quick feet, derkins, quick feet, curb mountain climbers. [Read More]

Five and Dime

With the temperature up in the sixties it was Tank Top Tuesday at Rush Hour tonight. Three HIM gathered at the flag ready to get stronger. Warm-Up Mosey over to the bank and triangle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, cotton pickers, plank jacks and calf stretches. The Thang Safely cross Chatham Street and try something new, the Five and Dime. Mosey down Academy Street, stopping at each odd numbered light pole for five burpees, and at each even numbered light pole for ten calf raises.

Phoenix Rising From The Arctic

Rising from days of snow and arctic air the 20 HIM at Phoenix this morning ended their week on the lofty heights of another Carpex beatdown. Here’s how it went: Warm-up: No FNG’s so no disclaimer and we were off jogging from the starting flag up the road to the next parking lot. Then, circled up for some SSH (IC), Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and Sir Fazio Arm Circles forward, then backward. [Read More]

Carpex at Cletus

When: January 19th, 2018 QIC: Earhart The PAX: 187, Pikachu, Lucky Charms, DoubleD, Term Paper, Disco Duck, Banjo, Shut-In, Banana Seat, Puddles, Slide Rule, Dog Pound, Dead Bolt, Buford, R22, Gump, Webex, Draper, Dauber, Brexit, Nemo, YHC Earhart It’s was icy, the roads were questionable, the radio news programs were all doom and gloom, and YHC was up early determined to represent our Carpex brothers in South Wake. I headed out from Apex, driving carefully, minding my lanes and looking for that elusive black ice, but, the path to Cletus turned out to be fine and YHC had no issues getting to the AO, outside the 6 foot high speed breakers.

No snow, no truck

27 men didn’t care what the weather man said. Snow? Blinding, blizzard like Cary-closing snow? No HIM cares about that. No such weather can slow an F3 man down. Now, having your Optimus Prime truck stolen out of your driveway, that can keep you from a workout. I’ve seen plenty of PAX dressed like ninjas lately, which is about what it would take to steal said Optimus Prime truck out of your driveway.
