Well 9 PAX converged on Grandmas House on this Tuesday Gloom. YHC was running on Cowbell time due to an episode with his garage breaking in retracting mode, so I quickly scrambled looking for the wife’s keys to remove her vehicle in case she awoke and tried to head to …
Alright, aside from some bunny hops up the stairs, this was a fairly laid back beatdown at Granny’s House. Almost enjoyable one might say. In retrospect, it was as if YHC knew that Bean would bring the pain the next morning and that Cowbell’s 1 mile time trial would bring …
We’re gonna keep this short and sweet, as YHC is behind the eight ball on these backblasts. The usual crew posted this morning (minus Shooter, who may still be hauling trees Commando-style out at his camp, and minus Bushwacker, who is attempting to heal a wide assortment of ailments). Cowbell …
At this time last year, I showed up to my first lakefront beatdown (thanks Russo), and almost didn’t come back. I was a gym rat, couldn’t run a mile, ate like crap, and hovered around 190. But I was intrigued by the companionship of the PAX that day, the leadership …
11 blockheads posted at The Gipper this morning for an Ackbar inspired beat down. After a warmup of Imperial Walkers, Toe Touches, OH Hand Claps, Windmills, Merkins and Squats, all 10x and IC, the PAX recovery walked over to the Brickyard to secure coupons and brace themselves for The Thang. …
Blame Akbar. This was his doing, really. His “block party,” (henceforth known as ‘Akbar’s Abomination’) – which was preceded by Tank’s Murph – pretty much guaranteed that Saturday’s beatdown would focus on legs and core. But first, the pre-thang : the usual 2 miles out and back with the …
With beatdowns returning to normal operation, Q decided to incorporate a different route picked up from the underground post of weeks past. Generally PAX would run the loop and back out down to the point, but this Gloom instruction was given to head up Monroe to West Beach then take …
YHC has made a few questionable decisions in my short tenure at F3, but this one may have taken the cake. Coming back from one of the hottest, sleepless camping trips I can remember; my first Murph early on Memorial Day; and a family hike after. I remembered I had …
Eight men met at the park to give our annual Murph challenge a go. We gave our respects to our fallen soldiers then headed out for the first mile run. From there we moved to the workout bars and commenced the 100-200-300 exercise journey. We wisely chose a 5-10-15 plan …
