A promise worth keeping
Weather: 60. Humid, with a touch of Swamp. No surprises here. Thang: Warmups. Standard: SSH, ATT, Humpties. Jane Fondas added to see that Abe would start grumbling about doing these. He did not disappoint. Mosey around track, with a stop at the visitor’s bleacher. Bunny Hops to the top. Continue mosey to my sweet ride […]
Dice Tower
YHC arrived early at the Tower to set up this morning’s workout with borrowed sidewalk chalk from his 2.0’s. Parked truck full of logs at one end of a parking lot, and then marked off 11 parking lot spaces with exercises at the other end before taking a short mosey to the Tower tower to […]
Dabo’s 50th
10 men showed up in the Gloom for a PowPow (Cuz’s nickname for my already short nickname) substitute Q. This how it went from what I can remember since I did not have a winkie. The Thang: Warmup- SSH, Humpies, ATT, IST (All IC X15) Mosey around St. Lukes to the their back parking lot. […]
Magnificent 7 at the Star
4 pax came for a Pre-run. 3 more came for more than they bargained for… The Thang: we warmed up with the usual standard issued Hot Lips warm up. Mosey to New hardware store for partner Dora Blimps. Partner 1 runs the hardware loop, while partner two does exercise. Then flap jack. YHC had no […]
Sticks got whipped
Pulled in the parking lot about 0605. Beaker was getting the flag in the ground and drop some info telling me that was the first flag for F3 Hickory. Which is awesome! Rest of the PAX rolled in. We started warm ups with 20 count of side straddle hops. Move into some alternating toe touches(finally […]
Streaking in the Quad
Pull into the parking lot at 5:27, see the shovel flag standing tall, but no pax in sight. Soak in a couple more minutes of warmth, while pax start rolling in. Exit the truck at 5:29 and head to the flag as the pre-runners file in. Disclaimer and launch. The Thang Mosey down 5th St […]
Almost Famous
Rain and cold—”I’ll keep it under the sails,” I thought. Okay, who left all this crap under here? Chairs and tables . . . and a slew of giant planters? Okay, we’ll make do. I take a short scouting jog and on my return see that everyone has arrived and found a spot under the […]
Double Digits/2
Had hoped, even pleaded, for double digits. The faithful four and Snips posted…had heard tell that Commando would post and the Q had a FRG (R is for Returning) plan in place. Without Commando, let the show begin. SSH’s – 30 IC Mountain Climbers – 20 IC Mountain Man Poopers – 10 IC (Much like […]
Mortimer 100
First and foremost, the Race Committee doesn’t want you to run this race. Go home. There is no picking up the six. There are simply just too many hills. Nasty ones too. There will be Mountain Goat legs. We start at a place called Tater Hole. And end on a Knob. The in between parts […]
Tville Buffet
Like most in F3, YHC feels like the Lord has blessed me with an M that is far better than what I deserve. Among other things, she can cook!! The 60 lbs I’ve gained since meeting her are evidence. One night this week, she fixed breakfast. Bacon, eggs, grits…. and pancakes. Delicious, fluffy, glorious bites […]
