2T3S

12 HIM came out to learn more about 2T3S. How does this simple statement impact our lives, our family and friends. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control 2T - Toughness Physically & Mentally - To serve our families and community as leaders we must prepare ourselves. It is not easy to get up at 5am (most) everyday and work ourselves to a pulp, suffering through a beatdown. [Read More]

The Money Move

Flip Flop, disco duck, smokey, Burt, Joe Smith, largemouth, Chanticler, Hermes, pierogi, shank, coney, Banjo Recently YHC was in Chapel Hill where Yanni led the pax through 50 prom night Merkins to the pax chagrin, as is if those glory days were not a bar set high, much like Burts high school fro bringing him in at 5'10". This is real stuff for these men of action. Hermes alone would scoff at such a weak execution and bow out that chest and announce three or four more rounds. [Read More]

Bones-Bones-Bones-Bones Bones, Bones, Bones, Bones, Bones…

After moving from Durham to Cary 1 year ago this month, I was past due for my first Carpex Q. [Read More]

Audible City

18 of the best looking gentlemen in F3Carpex convened at the greatest Area of Operation in the nation: DangerZone! A FNG roared in a sweet looking 1962 Mustang (could have been a 1954-1968 Mustang, I have no idea, but it was a classic car nonetheless). Small talk and Smack talk ensued until 5:45 a.m., and we were off to run around The Pickle…… …..ooops, forgot to give disclaimer to FNG. In an unprecedented move, the disclaimer was provided by YHC to the mustang guy while on the run, who then said something about his niece being bad, YHC “I’m sure she’ll be OK”, FNG said something like No my sneeze is bad, YHC “probably the humidity”, then FNG yelled at me “My knees are bad”!

DANGER ZONE

14 Men showed up to celebrate my 51 st Bday. At 5:45 we did a slow jog to the bball courts to warm up. We opened with a moment of silence for Cheech and his family. Sorry Ma Bell I didn’t see that we were supposed to do that by the flag at 5:45. I also challenged the men to reach out to someone that we might owe an apology to and also to reach out to someone and say I love you. [Read More]

47 is a wonderful number

As soon as the pax started grumbling about the time, circle up I yelled - What here? Now? Blah, blah blah. YHC quickly established who was in charge First exercise Good mornings, x 4, Followed by Good mornings x 7 SSH - x47, Sir Fazio 15, 16 reverse and 16 overhead (yes Ma Bell 15+16+16 does equal 47) Run through wooded trail (usually too dark but it is nearly the lightest day of the year), to the bottom of the stairs - platform [Read More]

Aristocrat Does Not Know Jack

Terrific late spring morning. Low 60s. Dew Point of 45. Couple of Shovel Flags planted. 21 of CarPex’s dudes came to Danger Zone to get stronger. At 5:35 there were only 2 cars in the lot…one of which was in my usual spot. Not a big deal since it was Tecumsah who is relatively new to Danger Zone, but not F3. He is a beast. At 5:45 20 dudes were ready to roll and then in rolled Marlboro.
