More Crabwalks!

Morning broke over the Uptowner, where YHC made a rare appearance for a Friday Q.  6 more PAX joined to start the day with a sweaty beatdown. Warm Up: YHC almost started with a Mosey, before remembering this is The Uptowner.  So instead, right here – circle up! SSH x25 …

Qing on the Fly

YHC pulled into City Park wondering who was the Q, so he checked his phone and realized he was up. So winging it was the only option. 9 F3 vets gathered around the flag at 0530. DISCLAIMER, and lets mosey to the track. COP #1: WARM UP SSH X 25 …

Wally Warm-Up

Curls For The Girls

Seven men got some loving with rocks on Friday at Pontiff…gotta get those guns and upper body honed for the summer.  No running involved so lot’s of time to hopefully build some muscle.  Here’s what we did: IPW x25 Goofballs x20 AC x20 WM x20 Crab Cakes x20 LS Squat …
