Snips Birthday!! Party of 5, I mean 6, wait…7!!!
YHC arrives early for his birthday because he is Q and he did not watch 1 second of the infamous shoe debacle of the first 2019 meeting of UNC – DUKE. I got almost 7 hours of sleep and arrived at the AO around 5ish. I had to get some bricks out for the warm-up. […]
The Walls Came Down
CrossFit Dude: 5AM in the morning. Alarm awakens him. Latte? Check. Hair Products? Check. Temperature controlled environment? Check. Actual Weights? Check. Yoga Mat? Check. Well, not today! This morning we marched(ran) around CrossFit Lenoir 7 times. And on the 7th day(lap), the Walls came tumbling down. We exposed them to the elements and the F3 […]
Tour of Viewmont (aka E[x]presso)
YHC was up feeding the baby at 4am, so I got an early start heading to Expresso. Prerun wheels up at 4:54, got in a solid 2.9 miles at an easy pace. Rolled into the parking lot at 5:22, still the only one there. Tooth Fairy soon joined, then Shamus and Ferdinand and others, and […]
Q school at The Station
Today was my first solo Q School and it occurred out at The Station. I don’t really get nervous anymore before Qs but for some reason for Q school this morning I was a little nervous. For those who have not been out to this AO you need to get out there, it is a great […]
Time Travel at the Mount
A light drizzle at the Mount didn’t stop 7 PAX from getting up early to get better. It’s 5:30, and all of us are regulars, so YHC jumps into the warm-up. And by “jump”, YHC means “side-straddle hops in cadence”: Warm-up: 12 Side-straddle Hops in cadence 12 Humpies in cadence 12 Small Arm Circles in […]

Stargate
Ohhh how I love this A/O. What I love the most about it is having brothers that have the same interest in running as I do. It’s always good to run with somebody to push you to go that extra mile or push you to climb one more hill. That’s precisely what happened this morning. […]
Into the Abyss
Oh my, how long has it been since I Q’d a workout! What could have I brought to the table to lead these men to get better? I don’t know; I’m just a runner, and everybody in F3 Lenoir knows that. I know, I can bring something we all love to do, run. It was […]
