It was tough getting up early after our late night Mardi Gras parades. But three brave PAXs ventured into the early morning hours to cycle through the F3 Exercise Wheel. After a quick warm up of 20 – SSH, 20 – Smurf Jacks, and 20 – Plank Jacks, T-Square, FroZone, …
As the clock runs out on February, YHC happily bids adieu to RRR and all pre-thangs associated with it. With only a day left, the Gipper’s 1 mile run wasn’t terrible, but some secret, John-Hancock-related activity beforehand did leave us a bit behind schedule and, at 0601, we were rightfully …
Yes, yes, YHC recognizes that Mardi Gras festivities started several weeks ago now (Hail Chewbacchus!), but it really starts in earnest today, Wednesday, with Nyx and Druids (geaux F3 Druids!). Why don’t we get some work in so we don’t feel so guilty with what we are going to do …
Is Mardi Gras the world’s longest-running, largest, free, annual, outdoor celebration? I’ll let the PAX chew on that for a while. In the meantime, there was no celebrating yet at the Mandeville City Hall Scramble as it was business as usual for the veteran PAX of F3 Northshore. Word has …
YHC was excited for his second trip and first Q at the newly established AO Popeyes (Lafreniere Park) and had a decided on a nice plan to use the hills that are nicely spread out to get some miles in for RRR. Quick disclaimer was given and we moseyed a …

Filled with excitement, YHC grabbed his passport this morning and went on a Metry field trip to Q his very first Rock City. YHC got to the AO about 15 minutes early and spotted Kuch, YourMomandDem, High Rise, and Abacus getting a head start by running a lap around the …
It’s a start of a new year. So just get at it. A PAX of eight on this blustery morning, waves crashing onto the promenade. After a brief disclaimer and a mosey around the fountain and across the street, The Thang: Warm Up: SSHs 25xIC Low Slow Squats 25xIC Merkins …
Thanks to Woodstock, Green Screen and YHC, age won before beauty or youth. So with apologies to Brown Eye as our youngster for the day, here’s The Thang. Warm up SSHs 35xIC (changing cadence was tricky for some, but YHC persisted) Low Very Slow Squats 20xIC Hill Billies 20xIC Slate …
In the last US Olympic Marathon Trials (2016) there were 108 finishers. Only 3 men ran negative splits. All three finished on the podium. The Thing: Run along Bayou St. John for 20 minutes, turn around and return in less than 20 minutes. AKA a Negative Split. Then plank and …
