Run & Gun #2

The Thing- Smurf Jacks, Windmills, and Little Arm Circles (All X15 IC).  Run-Take off out of the town square and take the “immediate” left. No that is not into the bathroom (Pump) and no that is not into the next parking lot (CrossStitch) but down 2nd St. We then went through the Oakwood Cemetery and […]

Rock | Paper | Scissors

ER is always a pleasure to Q. YHC was looking forward to this one and wanted to bring a little fun to the Monday morning gloom. After kicking around a couple ideas, here is what took place: Warmup The usual, SSH’s, Storm Troopers, Humpdiddles, etc. Mosey to the corner of Wells Fargo, grab a spot […]

How the Ruck Do I Do This?

Let’s start this BB with a couple of facts for ya: Fact – Up until this morning around 6:14, YHC literally knew nothing about the actual art of Rucking other than the fact that a lot of good dudes do it. All I really knew was that you threw on a sack (insert immature manhood […]

The Story of a Lost Realtor

It all started with a little joke by Shortsale calling himself an FNG at the COT before the run. Oh how that came to bite him in the buttocks later…  Most of us normal folk showed up for a wonderful Arrow this morning. It was a very nice feeling not having to bounce around to […]

Weather:  45’ish.   Thang: Warmups.  At least one dude was spotted trying to stretch out his Piriformis during warmups.   Then take off for a 5K:  down past the Elk’s Lodge to 4th St, right at Oakwood School, up Hospital Hill, straight to LR/Stasavich Place, right around LR, back to downtown.   The remaining time we did Raffle […]

She’s a Beaut, Clark

My history may be a little off, but if I remember correctly, Whipping Stick is where it all started for F3 Foothills and was once the crown jewel of F3 Foothills.  Which brings me to the title of the backblast.  Whipping Stick may have lost some of its luster with less participation as in the […]

Another Notch in the Whipping Stick

30 degrees…ain’t cold enough to keep the WS crew from rolling hot on a fine winter morning. May have been the promise of BEC & Coffee & 2f…those that wanna know will show. Tasty mans the Q and the merkins start piling up. Mumblechatter comes to nearly a halt and some grunts mixed with threats […]

Ruck sacks, train tracks, and sand packs

Is it still rucking if you wear a weighted vest? Can you just pack duct taped bricks inside your JanSport? Because that’s what Doughboy and YHC do when we post to a ruckin’ AO. (Does anyone have a coupon for a legitimate sack?) OG has always been a bad idea. Every single time…. Shady park […]
