sour-mash

Callahan put out the call for a substitute… and you KNOW I can’t resist the chance to Mr. Garvey a workout. I promised Prodigal on Slack that I wouldn’t do weird stuff, but then I looked in the mirror. Time for an exicon deep-dive. FNG Check - Disclaimer - Fair Warning on weird stuff - Let’s Go Lap around the parking lot. Circle up for Finkle Swings. Lap around the parking lot. [Read More]

Eight PAX gathered in the well-lit gloominess of St. Mary Magdalene church. It was just above the freezing mark, the temperature dropping more than the Steve had predicted at 9:00 pm the night before. Sour Mash gives the disclaimer, and with the freshly painted Lion’s Den shovel flag firmly anchored in the cold turf, we pledge our allegiance. Warm Up Mosey around the lot, with some backwards running, high knees, and butt kickers. [Read More]

One year ago I showed up at Full Metal Jacket not knowing what to expect. Callahan was the Q that memorable day and the first exercise was a partner-carry with Freebird. There was running on the baseball field, BTTW, and bear crawl 7s on a hill. I never thought I’d last another beatdown, let along a full year. In an effort to make a memorable year anniversary Q, here we go… [Read More]

At 0515, YHC started the fellowship mosey of a half-mileish to that newest of AOs, Lion’s Den, with Hello Kitty and Smithers in tow. Who doesn’t want a brand-spanking new AO virtually in their back yard? Upon arrival Sour Mash is there with the newly purchased but not yet completed shovel flag. Soon a Baker’s Dozen PAX have assembled and the clock strikes 0530. One FNG, the disclaimer is pronounced, Allegiance is pledged, and Sour Mash takes the reigns. [Read More]

A select group of 7 showed up at Sovereign Grace Church early Monday morning at a site so new that it still doesn’t have a tag on the F3 Carpex web site yet. The location close to home and the allure of a high tempo workout was enough to inspire YHC to take the lead in order to continue building momentum for this new AO. Here’s what we did… Warm-Up [Read More]

At approximately 05:29, 11 PAX were patiently waiting for one more. One more, who had jumped at the opportunity to pick up a last minute Q due to the previous Q’s illness. This one more, who will remain un-named (rhymes with Noshowisco), allegedly had a sick 2.0 and would not make it. When Ezekiel asked if anyone wanted to pick up a last minute Q, Yogi and YHC spoke up simultaneously. [Read More]

When YHC performed his final posting of the Old Q summary to slack, there was an opening at one of his top AO’s. It’s been quite a while since the PAX has been subjected to a Hotspot Q, so YHC signed up before sending out a fully filled in Qlist for the week. Well, Thursday night rolled around, and there was a plan that needed to be written. YHC grabbed my dusty Weinke from the garage, and pulled out one of the many slips in there. [Read More]
