Just in Time

Great to see Collard Greens and Tank-Up return for their second post this morning.  Something about the approaching storm motivated the 4 strong PAX to get after it without delay, warming up with a sense of urgency under the Gipper’s gaze:  Seal Jacks 20x IC, IW 20x IC, Torso Twists …

“Ya-honk”

“The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night; Ya-honk! he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation; The pert may suppose it meaningless, but I listen close; I find its purpose and place up there toward the November sky.” …Walt Whitman; Leaves of Grass   …

Bats Gone Wild

All Souls Day started out with TurboTax being nudged in the shoulder by a live bat, and not the World Series kind, but one of the bug-catching kind! Could this have been some soul reaching out? Don’t know, but the bat thing has to be a first for the F3 …

Pretzel AMRAP

Only Blackbird could return from a week of backpack elk hunting in the Utah mountains refreshed and ready to humble the Covington PAX.  EiEi is used to it by now but welcome Steve to the geriatric Covington PAX where sextuagenarians abound, and bound, and jump and crush and inspire the …

The Thang: Warmup at the Covington Trailhead:  SSH, IW, torso twists, windmills, hillbillies, squat thrusts, arm circles, leg swings, lateral lunges…all 20x IC more or less with a short recess to EH a passerby runner. Mosey to …

Almost Fall

PAX: Blackbird, EiEi, Einstein(Q), TurboTax “…It’s late September and I really should be back at school….” Rod Stewart But no – it’s F3 post day. And post we did, at the Covington trailhead, as a four PAX.  Nacho Libre was absent – again. He must be on the Pro Wrestling …

Farmer Fartsack

So maybe EiEi fartsacked.  Or maybe he was attending the G-20 Summit and forgot to inform the PAX.  At any rate, given his lust for beatdowns and heretofore stellar reliability, the PAX was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk his Q absence up to something …
