Large requested distance so we needed to start the Thang 7s - Merkins and Jump Squats to the light pole and back Jog to recover. 11s - Jump lunges and spiderman merkins Jog to the basketball court.

The call went out the night before for an EC run at 0500 and the following HIM showed up: Michelob, Chanticleer, Largemouth, Snots, Sub and YHC. Four miles later and with just 1 minute to spare before the bell rang at 0530, YHC asked for FNGs, heard no response and Moseyed to the other side of the school. On the way we enjoyed some High Knees, Butt Kickers and Karaoke. [Read More]

Well, a day passed, and so did a year. First post and Q of the new age, at the greatest AO in Downtown Apex on a Thursday morning. Tossed the notion of an EC run out there, and I was joined by the Site Q in training, Sub, and the craziest man in Carpex right now, @djvtec (who has just signed on as the sixth man, on the 6-man 2019 BRR team, aptly named F3 Carpex Pick up the Six (TM) (R).

Colt 45

Figured this was a nice nod to the Marine Corps’ chosen sidearm, the Colt 1911 Marine CQBP M45-A1 .45 ACP Pistol . Here at Full Metal Jacket, we are used to close quarters, and we went into battle today. 2 hearty youth (@michelobcarpex and @sub)joined YHC for 3 extra credit laps around the Salem homestead. FYI, one lap is a little over 1.33miles if you’re looking for extra credit running in the future. [Read More]

FOR THE RECORD

They said it couldn’t be done. It was just too far in too short of time. Too many variables to avoid the dreaded asterisk. They said Hello Kitty defined “up tempo”’ for the CarPex region with his official non-asterisk AO record of 4.55 miles. He was the champ. Our job was just not to be chumps. Well gentlemen, six PAX showed up on a crisp Christmas Eve morning to prove it could be done. [Read More]

AO: Bounty Hunters After two plus weeks away from F3 (travel and holidays) it was more than time to hit it hard. Anticipating this situation weeks prior, YHC signed up for a lonely slot on the Bounty Hunter Q-sheet…2 days after Christmas. It was more than worth it. Called an EC 2.5 miler, fellowship pace, first at 0515, only to be politely corrected by Sub, reminding of the 0530 workout start time…revised it to 0500 and off we went: YHC, Sub and Build-a-Bear, for a friendly jog around the block, 11 other HIMs joining on time (well, all except for Shut-in, who just may have been late).

It was raining and windy as pax converged at the flags planted by the EC runners at NCMA. Fava, like a pro, ran us to the parking deck where he clearly had a beatdown ready to throwdown. The Thang: We did a Beast, We did 3 sets of 7 by 7s (Chad had difficulty) We did wind sprints with a burppe ladder We did a ladder up the deck stopping for knee tucks and star jumps [Read More]
