Choose your own adventure
Weather: cold enough for Powder to sport a toboggan and long pants. Also TF busted out the pantaloons. Thang: Sometime in mid-October 5 years ago, I started coming to F3 so I wanted to go a little old school w/ the pax today for my own lil F3versary. Way back on those days, the Q […]

The Birth of The Tower/3 Year Anniversary of the Mount
YHC can’t tell you how much joy it brings to write this backblast!! The birth of an AO less than 3 minutes away from the house is an amazing and an unusual feeling. Not having to leave the house at 4:35 to get to a 5:00ish pre-run was pretty fantastic. YHC apologizes for the tardiness […]

Squirrels and Soup Sandwiches
