3rd Annual Franklinaversary

Posted on September 25, 2017 | 3 minutes | 532 words |

On the last Monday in September in 2014, YHC was privileged to be an FNG at an A-Team workout. Today, YHC took the opportunity of his anniversary to repeat his inaugural F3 workout, this time as the Q, just as I did on the last Monday in September 2015 and 2016. Following the first time I participated in this workout (under the leadership of Denali), I couldn’t raise my arms above my head for 3 days and couldn’t walk properly for 6 days. [Read More]

Shoulders for Days, and Some Running Too

This marks YHC’s second post at Bounty Hunters, excited to see the Q spot was open. My first post here was Franklin’s tour of downtown Apex. Today would be less informative and less pleasant. 17 PAX gathered in the gloom of the Apex Skate Park, no FNG’s, no site-Qs, so it was only appropriate that I planted the DZ flag, cause that’s how DZ rolls! Warmup - Jog to some random parking lot behind Apex Parks and Rec. [Read More]

Pre-BB YHC delayed his departure for a short business trip to make Wolverine’s Launch happen…but the BB had to take a back seat for a few days. Worth the wait, I hope. BB Thank you, Pete Russell, for Co-Qing this great, new AO with me…pumped to be working with you. Thanks to the 29 HIM who posted at Wolverine’s launch. And thanks to ALL of CarPex for the mumble chatter that kept the buzz about Wolverine alive. [Read More]

Back to School

BB 20 HIM joined YHC on a trip down memory lane–actually, it was down Hunter Street–to visit one of my favorite spots at BH. The gloom…the pull-up monkey bars…the long distance from the park…we’re talking about Baucom Elementary School’s back playground area. We journeyed there on one of my first posts at BH. Time to go back to (the) school. The Warmup - Pledge of Allegiance at the Shovel Flag - Jog to the parking lot of Lee’s Tailor Shop…backwards run for fun on the way. [Read More]

Rock out with your ruck out

Posted on September 4, 2017 | 2 minutes | 377 words |

A confluence of circumstances conspired to germinate the 9/2 Phoenix workout, including: My observation that nobody had signed up to Q the day before The holiday weekend, with plenty of PAX expressing beach-bound intentions, making YHC think that the recent trend of impressive Phoenix numbers would experience a temporary reversal Rucking permanently on the brain, but more so as of late Hello Kitty’s expressed desire to do something other than run My seeking to justify to the M the purchase of yet another ruck My desire to fartsack until 0630 rather than pre-ruck at 0545.

1 Year of F3 Bliss

Posted on August 24, 2017 | 5 minutes | 973 words |

Rewind to 1 year back. YHC was a newish dad who had recently moved to Apex. Suddenly, my life looked very different than all that I had known. I found myself pouring so much into my family and our new home that I left little for my own personal growth and development. My physical fitness was suffering, my emotional health was suffering; and without a happy me, my family was suffering. [Read More]

8/24/17 Bear Shoulders

Posted on August 24, 2017 | 3 minutes | 514 words |

YHC was a little stiff from the long run Trifecta the day before, so 18 crepuscular PAX shouldered the weight of some shoulder work by bear crawling on the shoulder of the road at Bounty Hunters this morning! The warmup: Run around the ball field, circle up in the parking lot for some typical warm up stuff and some moderately random quantities. Made sure to include some Sir Fa(r)zio Arm Circles to get the shoulders warmed up. [Read More]
