Feel the Bern

8 men met in the Mid-City Gloom this morning.  Missing a few of the neighborhood regulars, but glad to see Shorty back from his Anniversary Vacation.  We can’t live everyday in paradise.  Growth happens in humidity and suck. The Thang Given the warm-ups Q’d by JV and Tool earlier in the week, …

Tuesday AM sweat-fest

Tuesday morning, time for the 610 Stomp.  A balmy 78 degrees with what must be nearly 100% humidity – a great day for a morning run.  After mulling it over for nearly 20 seconds, we decide we’ll do the 30 minute run and hit the track for some sprint work. …

Rock City Crater Fest

Six veteran F3 gurus posted this am and would later be joined by a seventh. The usual mumble chatter, then the disclaimer, and off in a mosey to the obligatory warm up area. YHC decided to deviate from the normal pre-thang exercises and throw in a few different things from …

A Hillbilly in NOLA

Pre-Thang After seeing no one was Q’ing on the GoogleSheets, YHC decided to take an impromptu step up to the plate at an AO only visiting once.  Okwata has a long stretch of levee, and YHC just returned from the rolling hills of Kentucky over Memorial Day weekend.  There might …
