Searching for Light and then we found the Hindenberg

Posted on October 30, 2018 | 2 minutes | 351 words |

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. [Read More]

What a Cluster

Posted on October 25, 2018 | 1 minutes | 148 words |

Here’s an idea; pax show up and we put all of their names in a hat and draw at random to lead parts of the beatdown. Aye? Aye! 22 on hand, 1 is an FNG. Quick disclaimer and send the men to the library. Warm ups: Pickles Cluster 1: Burt is pulled and he calls random Jack Webb’s … signature move Cluster 2: Red Lobster gets pulled out of the hat and takes the pax to the fountain for 3 rounds of bear crawls and lunges while partner pax amrap exercises.

Q-ing from the Sidelines

Posted on October 9, 2018 | 4 minutes | 674 words |

Flirting with Disaster was my first F3 post last August and I knew that I wanted my VQ to be here as well. It was a full circle as Joe Smith had his VQ at my first post and he was out there with us this morning. My goal was to cover some ground and avoid running in the pitch black (towards the bridge) as I didn’t know how may headlamps we would have amongst us. [Read More]

Crossing the Busy Road Twice

Posted on September 18, 2018 | 3 minutes | 446 words |

YHC always try and start his BB listing the number of Pax. It seems the past few Qs that’s been a feat of its own. We had 21 when we left the flag. We had 20 when we got back and we had 21 again when we got to our cars. Let the Q explain (and tell ya what we did!) 0530: Intro and Disclaimer (there was an applause of sorts even. [Read More]

Wow! That's a long hill!

Posted on August 14, 2018 | 3 minutes | 452 words |

What’s a good way to prepare for the BRR AND enhance overall stamina and endurance at Flirtin’ With Disaster?? The hill on Cary Parkway, of course. But you can’t just run the hill, you’ve got to throw in some exercises as well. All FWD regulars are intimately familiar with this hill, and it shows up in probably 1/4 or more of the workouts, and normally stopping at designated lightposts for Merkins, or Burpees, etc. [Read More]

Thank You For Your Leadership

Posted on August 2, 2018 | 3 minutes | 522 words |

Sometimes jokes get out of hand. Like the way we all say “Thank you for your leadership” whether we’re being sincere or being silly. It was all grins and giggles until Hello Kitty announced that he was going to be on the radio taking part in a serious discussion about school choice in this great state of ours. Shut-in just had to say it. “If you fit in a TYFYL I’ll give you 100 burpees. [Read More]
