Okwata Wind Chill

The wind was howling at Okwata and made for a feels-like temperature in the thirtys.  At least, it wasn’t raining.  After the disclaimer, the Q promised one thing: we won’t stop moving.  The PAX moseyed to Canal and over the levee for some shelter to warm-up. Warm-Up: SSH (x25), Abe …

Thankful 4 F3

Excitement had been building all week.  Two Yutes was scheduled for his VQ on Thanksgiving morning.  The excitement from the pax was natural.  It’s encouraging when guys are willing to post on a holiday morning.  It’s even more encouraging when a guy steps up and says he will lead on …

Okwata Barre Redux

A still, muggy morning at Okwata after a brief touch of fall . . . Warm-Up: mosey to the fountain and then circle up for SSH x25, Abe Vigoda x15, Arm Circles x20 (10 each direction), Imperial Walkers x25, Peter Parkers x15, Parker Peters x15. The PAX moseyed around the …

And Then There Were Three

One of YHC’s favorite songs: from Genesis’ 1978 album And Then There Were Three.  Sure enough, as 5:30 arrived on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain – 3 PAX gathered for a workout. But today’s theme was not Genesis.  No, not today (but maybe a future workout).  Today YHC had something else …

Answering the Call

Shorty asked if anyone could cover his Q this week at Okwata, as he would be out of town.  YHC quickly answered the call and stepped up.  Late Wednesday, YHC issued a subliminal call to other Pax through Group Me, but who would answer the call? YHC arrived at least …

The 40 – Again

In preparation for tonight’s U2 The Joshua Tree concert, YHC decided he’d don his Edge hat, grab his music (Thanks Bogey for the louder-than-mine speaker!), and put together a U2 playlist.  And what better way to celebrate than with the workout first inspired by U2’s anthem: “40”.  That’s right, the 40 …

Palms over Okwata

The skies were clear, Okwata was quiet, and a brisk breeze was blowing from the south as 8 men gathered in the gloom.  Disclaimer, then mosey . . . a quick lap around the fountain then across the street to the seawall and turn . . . east?  Already the …

Anniversary Q

“Success is a Journey, not a destination” – Arthur Ashe YHC started F3 on August 24, 2015.  There is no question that it has had a big impact on my life… both physically and mentally.  YHC wanted to explore the beatdown that happened 2 years ago (+ 1 day since I’m …
