Skip to My Lou, Birthday Merkins, and Name Your Karaoke Go-To Song (because your life may depend on it)

It’s a good day when you can get 14 HIMs posting to an AO when the temps dip below 0 C. That was the case this morning, so will need to keep moving. Warm Up Following the the standard disclaimer and signing of release forms, mosey to the parking lot at the baseball field. Standard warm up consisting of SSHs, Good Mornings, Steve Earles, Sir Fazio arm circles, Grundle stretch, calf stretch, and 25 Merkins. [Read More]

463'

This BB only exists so that some eager Q can post a bigger number in the header.

In the meantime, six runners and one rucker posted in the snow and did their best to over >4.5 miles and >450'.

COT: 7 fantastic dudes three some snowballs at Selfie-Liter

Killa Beez

Taking the Bounty Hunters creed for the first time so I had to show up strong, right? Harnessing inspiration from a few classic Wu-Tang Clan songs and some old IronPAX legendary exercises, I crafted together 45 minutes of what I hoped would be a challenge for the PAX. To add icing to the cake, quite a few of those in attendance were already complaining about what Triple Lindy did to their rear-ends the day before. [Read More]

Agility City (and Nose Breathing)

Seriously, Gran Torino has gone to pot. Remember when some of the PAX joked on Slack that DangerZone needed an overhaul. “Make DZ Great Again”, the PAX said. But it was a joke. Gran Turdino is in a downward spiral. For real. It’s out of whack and in need of repair. In short, they needed me to Make GT Great Again, and that’s exactly what I did. Honestly, I didn’t realize how whack Gran Turdino had become. [Read More]

Boy Band Tour 2020

Some call it a shield lock. When a group of HIMs connect and strengthen their relationships through accountability, both in F3 and in life, and push each other to be stronger and better in all phases – physical, mental, social and emotional – again, in F3 and in life. Sometimes these shield locks form as a result of F3 and its ability to bring like-minded, positive HIMs together that want to be pushed and held accountable. [Read More]

Grundle-Dusting Comes to Cary (the Baby It's Cold Outside edition)

YHC made his virgin voyage to Whoville this morning. First time ever, and I have the Q. What could go wrong? First of all, I apparently park at the other end of the parking lot from where the flag is typically planted. Not that anyone would know, since the pin drop is in the middle of the school building. Once we figure this out, and the clock strikes 0530, there is a disclaimer given and the pledge is pledged. [Read More]

Double Nickels for the Triple Nickel

I had originally signed up to Q Half Dome a few weeks ago but had to postpone so I was excited for my first Q here. Usually the hunting grounds of the beige bro tribe, they were nowhere to be found this rainy Thursday. But what we did have was a small and mighty group who came to work. And work they would do. Warm-Up We splished and a splashed our way down Castalia to the second calming circle for a couple of warm-up exercises to, of course, include merkins. [Read More]
