182.6 score days or 10.005479520548 years ago, 34 PAX brought forth a new thang, eventually called F3. Do the math, and today is the 10-year Anniversary. The leaders were smart enough to create a devastatingly simple (only 5 rules – no more, no less) and intentionally decentralized structure (they knew that men won’t listen to anyone from The Home Office anyway) which would grow like a starfish (that is, when a piece breaks off, that small piece grows organically and separately into an entirely new being, unique in its own right). Just over 6 years ago, that Thang came to…

8 studs and one half asleep Q posted on a glorious morning in January The Thang: a bunch of random, ill advised exercises that we poorly thought out, pitifully explained and at some times dangerous to the PAX. Exercises were completed in and around Mary Mumford, Windsor Farms, and sometime in the middle of Cary Street Road with traffic roaring by at 40+MPH. You win some and you lose some. Today the Q was a big L for me. I was thinking after the workout what went well and what went wrong. The list of things that went wrong are…

10 titans and 1 gerry took in the sites and condescending sounds of the surrounding neighborhood, stopping to exercise along the way. This is what transpired more or less…. COT (brief), Bear Crawls, Polar Bears, Crab Walks, Bear Crawls…along the pull-in. Run to neighboring blocks. Occasional stops along the way for copious exercises, triple checks, and Lindsays. Return to campus to perform some more running mixed with merkins and jump squats. Hit tennis courts for out and back(wards) running stopping for exercises each time. A grand time was had for all. NMS Some “gentleman” who were taking an early walk…

22 dedicated warriors posted on a gloomy Thanksgiving morning. The Thang: Mosey to side of MM for COP of Don Quixotes, WWII, Merkins, SSH. Mosey to basketball court for double triple check.

Mosey back to the flag and COT. NMM Thanksgiving talk abounded. Lots of discussion about where the first Thanksgiving was. Lots are on the Virginia bandwagon, a few of the history buffs guessed Massachusetts and…

14 warriors, including a PAX from Napierville Illinois (welcome Super 8) showed up to what felt like the first day of winter. Knowing that it was going to be cold and there is a merkin challenge I tried my best to mix cardio with different versions of merkins. I also had us cover the grounds of Mary in a clockwise fashion, trying to at least cover each quadrant. After a jogging, karaoke run around most of Mary, the COP went like this. SSHs, DQs (too fast for Saab), ACs, CPs Exercise 1: Curb crawl – ascending to 5 back down…
