YHC was joined in the gloom by 6 other willing PAX members and we crossed paths with a 7th along the way. Thanks, men, for coming out to help YHC start of his 19th wedding anniversary with a lap for each year…or close. So, YHC checked the Q sheet late last night and it was empty. YHC thought this must be a sign that he needed to take it and attempt this feat. I’m sure the PAX was happy. We took off at 0530 and headed for the JRHS track. The pace was great this morning, including LugNut’s sneak attack…

Mosey to the track (not the bus loop). The Griff For every 2 laps run facing forward, run one facing backwards. Mosey back to the flag Numberama Namearama No Idea took us out NMS It is YHC’s anniversary week and the original plan was to do The Murph at every AO in Da’Ville. In looking into it YHC found that there are a lot of these types of Hero workouts, all honoring a fallen serviceman or first responder. This week we are going to pay homage to some of the lesser known ones. “In honor of USAF SSgt Travis L.…
A smallish crowd of 19 men showed up this morning to start their day the F3 way. Lab Rat was combining a 4 year F3 Anniversary along with his last day as a 48 year old. Much celebrating happened…..hooray. Standard COP this morning with the exception of the 49 Side Straddle Hops and 4 burpees for the much celebrating time as mentioned above. Some wore party hats. We broke in to two groups so that we could get in quality pullup time. One group did 5 sets of 5 pullups while the other group played touch a tree with 5…
It was a brisk 39′ at Grid Iron this morning but we had 12 brave men willing to put up with YHC’s second Q. After a warm up running the lines in the parking lot, we did the normal Side Straddle Hops, (modified) Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, LBCs, APDs, and Suzanne Summers. But we added a Bat Wings (fun to search the Exicon to shake things up). After warm up we moseyed to the grid iron for 4 corners (props to EF Hunton for his Wed Q) with: 5 WWIIs, 10 Merkins, 15 Mtn Climbers, and 20 Side Straddle Hops…with…

Emoji was trying to sing so we will need some more practice. We continued with 25 LBCs, 10 4-count merkins and 10 scorpions. The Thang CSBC – We start with the curbside bear crawl where we crawl…
16 fine Southern gentlemen (ok, maybe a few semi-reformed Northerners in disguise) – and 1 FND (Friendly New Dog) – arrived across many dimensions of time and space, almost all separately, to start their Friday morning the right way. How it went down (for the 6 of us who departed together): 4 milers run East on Grove; 5 milers North on Commonwealth, East on Patterson; 6 milers North on Commonwealth, East on Monument. Everyone turn right on Roseneath. Everyone turn left on Cary. Everyone turn left on Boulevard. Everyone turn left at respective streets they ran out on to head…
Despite various arrival times there was a nice round PAX of 6 waiting for the Q to show up at 0530. No Wojo so YHC took the potato and ran the crew behind the school for a warm up that included EFH’s Jazzercize along with some various planking and other stuff. 6 pack of Pullups and Derkins at the playground Doozy – To the parking lot for touch a pole – Partner up. 1 up to 5 poles, while partner does squats, then flutters, then American Hammers. Getting to 15 without repeating took some running and some planning ahead. PeeDee…
13 gloom warriors (including 2 FNGs) braved the seasonally appropriate chilly morning for YHCs Birthday beatdown and it went a little something like this: long way around the block, no field today since the striper was striping, COP started with 46 SSH and then moved on to reasonable numbers of stretchy warm up exercises. Short mosey to the bus loop curb for merkin 11s (decline, bear crawl, incline, crawl bear) mosey to courts for 7of♦️s that ended with burpees… COT – see Gumbo or Vinny about Stache for Cash, see Greenbow about casino night. Greenbow brought 2 FNGs – Gaston…
