hamm - F3 Carpex

We all remember our first time...

Posted on August 9, 2019 | 3 minutes | 471 words |

First off, let me just say how great its been dragging my sorry, out-of-shape 6 out of bed most mornings to go hang out and sweat with a bunch of crazy guys like those reading this right now. The last 3-4 months have been amazing, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and even dare I say spiritually? (That’s weird) Seriously, thank you all for your leadership every day when I post, not just from the QIC, but also the guys that stick out their hand for a high five when they’re running by or say, “Good work!

No Upper Body for YHC

Posted on July 29, 2019 | 3 minutes | 493 words |

It’s well known in Carpex how if you want to get on the Q sheet you need to plan ahead. So, that is exactly what YHC did when signing up for various Qs throughout the year. However 22 days ago YHC fell off his bike, was taken to the ER, and messed up his shoulder pretty bad. After having to give up 2 of my Qs since then, it was time to get back out there! [Read More]

Hot for Thursday

Posted on July 25, 2019 | 2 minutes | 399 words |

19 showed up for a beautiful Thursday morning at Olive Chapel Elementary. It was 64, low humidity, and the sun was just starting to come up. Let’s Get Started Disclaimer - I am not a professional, F3 has no assets (did a lawyer actually make sure I can’t be sued? Should I get that umbrella policy GEICO keeps trying to sell me before I Q again? Too late to ask these questions, it’s time to go) Pledge of allegiance First Thang: Map! [Read More]

Solving a Problem You Didn't Know Existed

Posted on July 24, 2019 | 3 minutes | 567 words |

F3 is a funny damn thing. Funny, in that most of us end up doing things that, a few weeks prior to our V-post, we’d have sworn we’d never do. Not that we couldn’t do, but just wouldn’t. Therein lies the truth in Sadclown syndrome. It’s a real thing, but by the time you discover the truth of it, you should be well on the way to a cure. When I look at the PAX names this morning, I see that several have only been posting for a few short weeks. [Read More]

And Here's To You Mrs. Johnson

Posted on July 18, 2019 | 2 minutes | 320 words |

While planning my first Q at Hot For Teacher, I thought back to my school days. I don’t remember most of my teachers, but I remember Mrs. Johnson. She was a mean old witch who pushed her students hard and didn’t tolerate any nonsense. I hated her back then, but now I wish my own 2.0 could have a teacher just like her. With that inspiration, here’s what we did. [Read More]

A dozen strong men avoided the big crowds at SNS to particiate in a Vanilla with sauce beatdown under the moonlight in the Lion’s Den on a glorious Wednesday moring. No FNG’s, yet disclaimer should be disclaimed and was with a friendly reminder to modfy as needed. 1st Exercise Pledge of Allegiance and off we went heading out of The St. Mary’s compound. Yesterday I scouted a few areas around Lion’s Den and set my sights on a common area just a short run away. [Read More]

A-Team 5-year Anniversary 7-15-19

Posted on July 16, 2019 | 2 minutes | 295 words |

28 HIMs showed up to celebrate 5-years of wonderful workouts on Mondays! They were led by 108 years of experience on a classic tour of the site. Warm-Up WWW started the process with the standard disclaimer. There were no FNGs. We pledged allegiance to Old Glory and took off for a short run. WWW led us in GM, Abe Vigodas, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Eskimo Merkins (they are not cool), hamstring stretch, and runner’s stretch. [Read More]

Sally Showed Up

My first Q at Lion’s Den and boy am I excited. I’ve got my winkie all set and I’ve researched the area on Google Maps. It’s another hot and muggy morning but with the Shovel Flag planted by Sour Mash we are ready to begin. Disclaimer, no FNGs, Pledge of Allegiance. Set out on a mosey and Site Q tells me we must be quiet as we travel to and use the local park as the townhouse residence across the street claim this park as their own and is part of their HOA.

17 PAX loaded up on the bus and came out to Olive Chapel Elementary to kick off the hard launch of the new Apex AO “Hot For Teacher”. YHC had the Q. Tunes were rockin’ and the two co-site-Q’s long hair was flowing in the breeze. It almost looked natural on Cataracts….almost. 0530 – Typical F3 spiel. Modify as necessary. And seriously - don’t sue us..we only own a beatup Ford Econoline van with no A/C and 400K miles, our knockoff Stratocaster electric guitars and a busted amp that doesnt even go up to “11”.

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]
