The Blimp from Hell
So, YHC pulls into to his reserved parking place on the corner of Center St. & 3rd Av exactly 5 minutes before the ER is to begin and . . . nobody there. No. Bod. E. A minute later the good Doc, Herniator, pulls up and ask where is everybody. YHC says, “I don’t know. […]
A Historical Celebration
This morning 16 pax showed up to celebrate birthdays. We had 3 men who were celebrating their birthday with the oldest turning 60. I knew that we were going to have a few Merkins to complete in order to celebrate these birthdays but I kept the actual number a secret. Several pax had driven to […]
“Put Me in Coach (Aka – Cuz), I’m ready to Q”
Unbeknownst to probably most of the 14 Pax that rolled out of the fartsack on this windy morning, today was a monumental day. At the very least, it was for YHC, so I’ll chalk that up as a win! Today was YHC’s VQ. Thankfully but not thankfully (because we always miss Cuz when he’s absent), Cousin Eddie sent out […]
Star Runners
YHC has been thinking about running a lot here lately. And he knows that other PAX have too. In the next couple of months some of our PAX, as part of 3 teams, will cover at least 600 miles during the Palmetto and Smoky Mountain Relays. So YHC figured that he and the PAX could […]
Blowing in the Wind
What a PERFECT day for a workout – mid 50’s and a refreshing breeze blowing. (and at least one unrefreshing breeze!) We gathered on the patio in front of Mackie Furniture and at 5:30am headed off for a short mosey to the Warehouse District for this: Butt Kickers x 10 IC High Knees x 10 […]
F3 Lenoir Begins At The Den
It has been a long time coming. Lots of emails sent. Facebook messages sent. Lots of Twitter chatter. A lot of hype coming into this day. Yes, it was the launch of F3 Hickory Region’s newest location: Lenoir! Who would show up? Would this cold day stop potential FNGs from posting? Well, 7:00 came and […]
Trying to Get Religion
This BB is a little bittersweet for YHC for several reasons. It is the first time ever YHC has let his standards fall and is putting out the BB next day, #cobains. The second and bigger reason it is bittersweet is that while all of YHCs @f3hickory brothers are at the launch for @f3lenoir YHC […]
The Beaker’s Back
So the big scuttlebutt before we started had to do with the long awaited return of the beloved Beaker. Beaker has been out for several weeks due to a calf injury sustained during the grueling church basketball league. Now for the Thang: Warm-O-Rama: Side Straddle Hops x 20 IC Alternating Toe Touches x 15 IC […]
4 Corners Escalator of Pain +1
Well the gloom wasn’t so prominent on this morning as we were blessed with an early sunrise/sunlight. However, as the other Pax were in bed or getting ready for the 300, this Q was out on the soccer field laying out the 4 Corner Escalator exercises. Yes, this Q is quite anal, and the exercises were […]
March in The Mount
The Mount is a newer AO and most of the PAX who post here are also newer to F3. You might think the PAX here are a group of semi-committed, part timing rookies. They are not. The Mount launched back in November and the attendance and enthusiasm has held strong through some pretty nasty weather. […]
