Enter the square circle

YHC traded the Q with Sooner for this Expresso, since my M won’t let me out of the house on Wednesdays for OG.  Numbers didn’t look so good when I walked up on the SLMC parking lot at 5:25 and only Squints was there in his little Toyota.  (You think he bobs his head to […]

Selfie? Naw B

Hickory’s only Friday AO, Ram is a bit of an enigma to me.  I enjoy posting here and being in the LR gloom with the likes of Flamer, Goodwill, Scotch….and you never know what you’re going to get from the Q.  Igloo (come back, will ya?) once took us through a crack den, we had […]

Don’t take shortcuts.

I took over the Q spot for our benched brother, Bing.  It’s more difficult to write an interesting backblast for Arrow than it is to actually Q Arrow. Here is the route for F3 Hickory’s premier running institution: Run up 4th Street, Right on Main Ave, Right on 9th street, 9 Street turns into 9th […]

Shrinkage

Yes.  It was cold this morning.  Not “crazy cold”, but still quite chilly.  Most of us didn’t notice so much because YHC had the Pax with multiple mosey’s throughout, but for some reason Kleenex wore shorts with no elastic in them.  He was saggin like he was straight outta cell block D.  Needed a little […]

PSA: Snips Made it to the Pre-Run

Snips: “Hey guys, Ill be at the Pre-Run in the morning” DB: “Alright man, Ill be there. #HC” …..morning of Snips: “Dude, where’s  my DB” DB: “Nobody likes Snips, I’m sleeping in” And that was how the morning began at the Den. We then had to listen to Snips remind us the entire workout that […]

Turkey Hangover

It was a Black Friday unlike any other(Support Local).  So many paxs with a turkey hangover, waiting in line to get a chance to get a workout from the most original thinker in F3, Retread….well actually there was only six but those six got something super original.  The cure for a turkey hangover is a […]

Bunch ‘a Turkeys Got Together and…

YHC had the task of leading a bunch of crazies on a Thanksgiving Day workout.  What a time we had.  It was chilly, hovering right around freezing.  We had a nice group from Hickory, Taylorsville and The Mount.  Bunch of good looking flags flapping the slight breeze.  T-Claps again to The Mount crew that have posted […]

Play Ball at #OG

13 descended on the the depths of the dark, gloomy, not for the squeamish, slightly disturbed AO called Organ Grinder this AM.  I thought i would get there a little early since it was my 2nd only post in Eastern Burke Co, but to my surprise the parking lot was full.  Would it be a […]
