Acceleration of the King

Who are all these guys? YHC clearly needs to go to Slippery When Wet more often. There are at least 4 PAX that I’ve never had the pleasure to meet previously. However, with all the newer PAX, as the clock reached 0545 there were no site Qs or shovel flags in existence. Therefore, a form of the disclaimer is exclaimed, and YHC stated the mission of F3 (Hermes was given a shot at the mission, but failed. [Read More]

Sweatin' Bricks

A humble group of 8 HIM’s gathered early for the EC with Jiggly arriving even earlier at 0445 for his first of two laps around the lake. We dodged many a toad along the way. Today YHC Q-subbed for Peeping Tom who remains on IR recovering from an unfortunate cycling accident. He and Greenbow smartly chose to Mall Walk this morning’s workout while ten of us sweat with some bricks. [Read More]

The Freedom Trail July 4th Convergence

@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]

Yeah, I know, another BRR inspired workout

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]

Lots of Thangs to Do

15 pax looked to start off their Friday with a pep in their step. YHC was looking to push us this morning and keep the pax moving through LOTS of Thangs! Callahan and his dumb online poll showed up. Glad to have him out there. 15 pax in all. We ran the bus loops. We circled to the basektball courts We ran the field hills with wall climbers We ran to the shelter We did shelter work We ran a gym lap with playground exercises We did a lot of thangs. [Read More]

Inverted Sunrise at FwD 06-18-19

YHC is honored to Q this morning at my old stomping grounds. It is good to be back. Chipper, Jiggly Puff and YHC followed Oofta’s lead on a 3ish mile EC run launching at 4:55. It looked like a couple others got in a shorter EC run. Circle up, disclaimer, moment of silence for Warchild. The Warmup: Follow me, jog around the pickle, some Good Mornings, Windmills, Sir Farzio Arm Circles and SSH for good measure. [Read More]

Side saddle hops Merkins Calf Stretches Runner strectches Imperial walkers Then we did a run toward the bridge stopping at the intersection to some quick LBCs At the bridge Ollie really wanted to bear crawl across the bridge so we did our best.

Don't sweat the small stuff ... its all small stuff. If your 5 mins early, you’re late ... 5 secs to beatdown.

The day started out great. I awoke at 0415 for my normal father dooties (no pun intended). I took the youngest member of my family, our mixed breed dog, Ella for a morning walkabout. As I got home, my M was waiting for me stating something does not smell right. She was right. My littlest of all littlest, Ella made a mess in her kennel and I had to clean it up which now put me behind my schedule to ready myself for this morning’s beatdown. [Read More]
