Opening: YHC started at 5:30am with the standard F3 welcome - F3 Mission, Disclaimer, F3 Credo, and Pledge of Allegiance. No FNGs were present. There was an expected level of mumblechatter for VQ week. Coney showed up in his Y Guides vest - well played Running Bear! Warm-up: Moseyed north to the 1st middle school parking lot to the left and circled up for: 30 Side Straddle Hops IC 10 Good Mornings IC 15 Daisy Pickers IC 20 Imperial Walkers IC 10 Standard Merkins OMD Calf Stretches L/R with 10 count en espanol courtesy of Buenos Dias and delayed 10 count from Kickback who was apparently engaged in some mumblechatter.

On Tuesday, YHC examined the Q-sheet for Bounty Hunter and noticed no one had signed up to lead the beatdown this week. I hadn’t Q’d in a while, other than the Sharknado co-Q with Rooney, so I decided to pick it up. 16 pax showed up. I Pity the Fool was already drenched from an EC run. Orphan ran in from Shepherd’s Vineyard and Bad Company and Scorpion King ran up Hunter Street. [Read More]

Day 4 of Frisco Terror(ible) Week of Qs. One of the skills I have learned is “if you can’t do it, co-Q it”. Thus faced with the prospect of Bounty Hunters being 4th on the list this week and a massive, runnable site I decided to EH the exclusive and sometimes elusive Freebird as a co-Q. Luckily I twisted my ankle a few weeks back getting a ladder out of my garage for him so he feels bad enough to jump in an Q with me.

Pre-Blast 20 at #ao-tues-fwd on a swampy Tuesday morning in…were we still in Cary? Murph-like exercises were performed. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag. Run toward the circle, weave the pylons, weave the concrete balls, one lap around the circle of Backwards Run, Karaoke left, Karaoke right. Circle up for: GM, WM, Calf Stretch, ‘Mericans, Plank Jacks, Mountain Climbers. The Thang Run toward the bridge. Stop half way for Prisoner Squats, ‘Mericans, and Remember-to-Count-with-the-Q Burpees. [Read More]

Date: 8/8/19 PAX: Deuce, Freebird, Garfield, Imp, Kermit, One Four, Orphan, Prime, Rooney, Skipper, Sub, Traffic Cone, WWW, Life always comes at you where you just feel worn out but you keep trudging along. Then you do an F3 workout and it starts the day off right to get you through those times. Life is a blessing but it can pass you up if you do not take deep breaths to clear the cobwebs to see clearly. [Read More]

A few days ago on ye ol’ Slack, YHC saw a cry for help across the chatter-sphere. A stomach bug of some sort was taking out the Slappy family and the FMJ Q was up for grabs. Sensing a distinct gap in my koozie inventory, YHC jumped in. As many of you know, Tuesdays are an infrequent post for me so while the kids are out of school and camp-less, might as well take advantage! [Read More]

POSTED ON BEHALF OF UTI BY YHC EC: Sub, Peeping Tom, UTI, GTL, Squatter Peeping Tom made a call out last week for someone to sub in since he is still technically on the mend. YHC is working on increasing his bootcamp Qs. 2 years in and I can’t tell you how many I have under my belt but it’s definitely not many. Turning over a new leaf in my 3rd year of F3 and making sure to jump on these leadership opportunities.

YHC arrives early to get in EC run, but not feeling it, opting instead for community service and picking up trash at the skate park. Anyone want a cooler? No FNGs, met Mud Buddy, good to see Lookout drinking the Kool Aid, Garfield leads us through the pledge, gloves are optional, we’re off. Run, not mosey, to Jones Carey Park with stop on the way to warmup with various exercises including pigeon stretch. [Read More]

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”.

@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]
