Scooped this one on Wednesday from Pet Sounds - and I was hoping to craft a workout that he would be proud of. Let’s see how we did… FNG Check - WE HAVE ONE! Disclaimer… during which I remembered the F3 Mission Statement, but not the fact that I’m not a professional. d’oops Head out toward the greenway 10 merkins OMD at the entrance to the greenway Head out and make a left toward the underpass.

Little late here in writing this BB….sorry folks! Tuesday, 11/20. 17 HIMS met up at FWD for a morning full of fun, some, 1, still wearing Pajamas. But I am no fashion police. Quick intro to the PAX and we are off. WARMUP Quick jog from the parking lot, to the first playground. Dang its dark. First fail of the morning and we are only a minute in. I did a recon the day before and thought, why don’t we use this first playground?

Since I needed to work off some of the extra Thanksgiving helpings and the frustrations of spending almost 5 days with my in-laws, we started the day with a little EC Run. I was joined by Michelob, Denali & Chanticleer. 0530 Here we go. We take the long way around the lake to the bottom of the hill at the large parking lot. Warm Up Good Morning x 5. That’s enough.

Wednesday morning’s are always a high energy affair with Insomnia runners coming in and the Vesper and SNS crowd ready to kill it. Add to that the pre-holiday excitement, temps near freezing and anticipation of Kitty’s upcoming Thanksgiving extravaganza, New Year’s Eve in Times Square had nothing on the 34 gathered at the Senior Center this morning! At the crack of 5:45, the Vesper’s headed out to explore new trails and the SNS crowd got after it. [Read More]

11-19-88. It’s a number I’ve recorded a ton of times, and now it’s 30 years in the past. Warmup. This is Kryptonite, you get no warmup. Follow me out to Ederlee and the lake greenway entrance. Pause for 30 merkins, OMD. Partner up for a catch me if you can around the lake with 8 cadence prisoner squats (or just sprint if you’re Flip Flop). Rendezvous at the fence. 10 penalty burpees followed by 30 LBCs, IC. [Read More]

20 great men got up and came out to SWW. We did a slow jog around parking lot to a warm up, standard 23 Merkins for Gibson, 10 Windmills and 10 PlankJacks. We ran over to Hill on Kildare, we did 5 Carolina Dry Docks on every other light pole. Then we did some hill sprints and some LBC’s, back to picnic shelter for some Frey Daddy Speed Racers. We did 15 dips followed by 1 lap, then 2 and finished with 3 laps. [Read More]

9 gathered in the 37 degree gloom at Koka Booth. I took the under when the line was set at 10, so big time winning already. Hermes had a SC from a FNG…..but alas it was not meant to be. This particular FNG is looking for a workout program that progressively gets harder. Thankfully he was a no show, because I was hoping to set the bar high. Warm-up. Run to the XL sized parking lot for what seemed like a very random set of jogging, warm up exercises, backwards running, side shuffling, and other stuff. [Read More]

Q DATE: November 2, 2018 23 HIM for the inaugural Gran Torino Q on a fantastic November morning. The workout plan was stolen from inspired by Freydaddy’s Catalyst Q YHC posted at last week. Since Gran Torino is hi-tempo it needed to be tighten up a bit. We covered 3.7 to 3.9 miles and did some other stuff. Warmup • Pledge allegiance • Jog over to the front of the school • Take a lap around the figure 8 formed by the carpool and bus loops • SSH x 30 • Frog hoppers - like a squat jump but just using feet and calfs for jumping - Hi-liter commented that they were a bit effeminate - next time we’ll do kegels [Read More]

It was a glorious morning at FWD. Build-a-Bear set out for a solo EC 4 miler at 4:50 while Chipper, Lite Brite & Yoga Mat set out for a nice fellowship 2 miler at 5:05. All were back to the flag at 5:30 to be joined by 8 other PAX and the 12 of us begin the search for light. Olsen was also there today but I can’t seem to find him on Slack.
