  • What’s an Invisible Chair?

    YHC was slightly nervous about Q’ing this morning….first 45MOM Q! Preparation for this am came from Exicon, again. YHC arrived and quickly reviewed COP with the hopes of not screwing up THAT part! 0530…time to Mosey!

    Brief 3/4 run around the block and COP on the tennis courts: Russian Soldiers x 15, Copperhead Squats x 15, Imperial Walker x 15, Invisible Jump Rope x 15, Don Quixote x 15, Merkin x 10, Booya Merkin x 10. I think the PAX wanted more Don Quixote’s!! Mosey to The Field. So, the signs, Stay Off The Fields, were noticed during the brief run and Shakedown politely informed YHC too. O well….too bad. YHC had other plans!

    First evolution, The Millenial! Ten exercises were choosen. Each exercise was to be 100 reps. First PAX member to 100 called out and PAX ran across The Field, approx 100m. YHC called out another exercise, reps to 100 with first PAX member to 100 calling out again and running back across The Field! Repeato for 10 exercises and 1000m run! Exercise 1- SSH, 2- Lunges, 3-LBC, 4-Carolina Dry Docks, 5- Mountain Climbers, 6-Flutter Kicks, 7- Arm Circles, 8- Squats, 9- American Hammers….and 10-Burpees! Yes 100 Burpees….Original plan was to do all burpees IC but that did not appear to be feasible! Hardywood-NICE WORK and got the PAX to 90 Burpees. At 90, YHC called IC last 10 Burpees and BAM, The Millenial, done!

    Second Evolution, Three Amigos. Triple up. Each PAX member sits in invisible chair position and together, walk across The Field. Swirly says, “What’s an invisible chair?” YHC immediately thought, this is not going to go as planned. Within 10 seconds of witnessing what was occuring, AUDIBLE!! Epic Fail! Time to Mosey with 12 minutes left…

    At the blacktop, triple check! Chicken Peckers, LBC’s, and Bear Crawl across the blacktop to fence and run back. Approx 2 rounds performed before TYA tells YHC, “It’s 6:14.” TYA had enough? YHC called hells bells and time had expired. Mosey back to the parking lot.

    Number-ama, Name-r-ama. Announcements: CSAUP has list for signup on the Backblast. Inquire with your Nano Region for teams. Breaking Bread-see Rosie for this Sunday! Labrat took us out….Mellencamp would have been proud Labrat! Seriously though, great message and prayer! We all have the opportunity to help someone each day. And with the energy of this group, that is a small price to pay for how blessed we all are!!

    NMS- Hardywood, Super Man shirt was for you. Sloth, loves Chunk!! Goonies never say die!  Yes, Three Amigos was an epic fail but nonetheless, humor was provided again within Flatline’s Q!! Somehow, maybe, Hardywood thinks the CSAUP map, may be phalllic. Splinter, if everyone had heard your next comment, that would have been the title of the backblast, “If your ____ looks like that map, you have a problem.” And yes, the flu shot does not appear to be helping most folks. WASH YOUR HANDS people!! Pops Market, I think, for lunch today-noon! Early arrival helps!

    Great work men and thank you for following the Q! You all inspire me to be a better person!!! Only those who show up understand! Loud and Proud!

  • Do As I Do, Not As I Say!

    YHC arrived to The Gloom this am and first, thing first-No Big Blue! Swirly, hope your knee is ok! And  onward….Shakedown provided his shovel flag and Boom! It appeared that above 32 degrees was a good thing for 29 regular PAX members, at least until after COP.  0530-Time to Mosey!

    COP= Arm Circles x 15- 10 small, 5 big (forward and reverse). Russian Solder x 15, Imperial Walker x 15, Copperhead Squat x 15, Leg Lifts, I started performing Scissor Kicks x 15, LBC x 15, Merkins x 10, Booya Merkins x 5. Yes, YHC f–ked up again but this time calling out the wrong exercise and one miscount! Maybe one day………ENOUGH–time to work!!

    Mosey to The Lawn. YHC has dubbed this work out, The Lawn Service. Line up for lawn sprints (One end to the other) with 1 minute rest time and continue lawn sprints and decreasing rest time by 10 secs until 0. During rest time, PAX planks. Once PAX and YHC hit 30 sec rest time and less, mumblechatter  ceased! We finished on northbound side of The Lawn.

    Next, Partner up for Leg Lifts, no…..Heels to Heaven, no…….no, officially the exercise YHC was looking for is called Partner Leg Toss. So partner leg toss totaling 200. Upon completion and lots mumblechatter from the PAX, if this exercise is done solo, it is called Heels to Heaven. Thanks Saab and Fudd!

    Mosey to The Lake……aka Merkin Lake. At every light pole, 10 Merkins. YHC counted 27 light poles. Fudd counted 31 but definitely more than 19 originally stated at beginning of the exercise. Touchdown Al Gore until all PAX members were finished.  Next exercise, toes in the water! YHC did not really sell this exercise enough to be believable! But man, how long can a PAX member keep their toes in Merkin Lake? Winter time only!!

    Mosey back to The Lawn. Partner up and wheelbarrow’s to the Carillon Side. Whatever count your partner can muster til finished! Touchdown Al Gore when finished. Hitchhiker and Posh finished strong! Boom, mosey back to The Flag!

    Number-ama, Name-r-ama.

    Announcements: CSAUP is on Pre-Blast. Teams from Nano-Regions, etc.

    YHC took us out!

    NMS: Considerable mumblechatter at beginning of YHC’s COP. But to be expected! YHC often says one thing but may mean something else. Thank you to the entire PAX for following and putting out this am!! Oyster way to push during leg toss! Yes, YHC likes short intervals during exercises, running, and pushing through the pain! We are always capable of more-PERIOD! Good to see some old faces back out at the gloom! Fudd, hope your little spill was not too bad. And yes, some ice skating did occur this am during our runs!! YHC cell died during namer-ama so thank you to all help make sure big data was correct!! IF only my pager could record!?!?! And only those who show up understand!

    It was a pleasure to lead the PAX this am. Make the most of each day. Tell your M and children you love them every day! This trip is not forever!

    Loud and Proud!

  • About time….

    YHC Q’d W Dog. Compared to Sunday Funday, this morning was deserving of board shorts and flip flops. 4 SOP!  YHC arrived with Big Blue in place and TYA hopping in back seat for early morning board meeting.   11 regular PAX members arrived for a hump day workout and YHC hoped to not disappoint!

    Mosey to bricks in front of Carillon for COP: Copperhead Squats X 15, Imperial Walkers X 15, Don Quixotes X 13, Invisible Jump Ropes X 15, LBC X 15, Flutter Kicks X 15, and Merkins X 10. Time to work.

    Triple Check- Run the Lawn and back, Mountain climbers, and LBC’s. Plank till PAX finished.  Mosey to Vita Course for our next exercise of fun.

    Bataan Death March (according to exicon)- PAX form two lines to run the Vita Course. Last member in line drops and 5 Burpees. Upon completion, catch up to assigned line, touch last PAX member on shoulder and run to front of the line. Last PAX member in line drops, 5 Burpees, run to the back of the line, touch next PAX member and on to the front of the line. Repeato for one lap around Vita Course. Upon one lap completion, all PAX members finished with 5 Burpees. YHC admits this did not go quite as expected. Not sure two lines helped or next time stick to one line. But everyone loves burpees!

    Mosey to The Lawn- Lt Dan Taylor’s- 1 Copperhead Squat followed by 4 individual leg lunges and repeat to half way point of The Lawn with sprint to the finish. Repeat down The Lawn again. During the repeat, Swirly mentioned to YHC that Sunday’s picture may make it to the Wall of Fame. It’s super and Sunday=Epic. As for the Salamander-Whistle Blower totally got spooked on Buttermilk trail by gray plastic bag that “jumped up” from snow and accelerated her HR even higher! With 5 minutes to spare, mosey to the Rusty Cage.

    For my first W Dog Q, I could not neglect the Rusty Cage. PAX did ice skate on a few ice patches on our way to The Cage. Each PAX performs 5 pullups!

    Mosey back to The Flag (in theory) and YHC needs to build one ASAP!!

    Number-ama, Name-r-ama. Announcements-CSAUP, April 13-14, F3 Relay Race visiting all AO’s. Potential of 18 relay points, approx 100 miles and teams of 6 or 9. NANO regions for teams! Be looking to form a team! Currently, all this info is tentative!

    NMS- Mumble Chatter was lite till YHC was explaining Bataan Death March and PAX was humored till we started. Than silence…Hardywood did say good morning to 2 gents but their “Seal Team Workout” potentially did not allow them to repeat the gesture. YHC not really sure they were with “Seal Team Workout” but they could at least acknowledge good morning. Great to see Hardywood back in the PAX!

    Men, it is a honor to be part of this special group! Only those who show up understand!! God Bless!!

    Loud and Proud!!

  • Morehead City, Welcome!

    YHC arrived, slightly early, to prepare with a vehicle already there, lights on, license plates from NC-sketchy late night visitor or PAX members from out of town. The later is correct. Crabbie Englishman and Xbox arrived to No Toll after resting at the Jefferson overnight with family-annual rest stop during Christmas. Jenny Craig came in hot and off we went..

    COP-Don Quixote, Russian Soldier, Imperial Walkers, Copperhead Squat, LBC’s, Merkins, and finally, Helicopter’s-all 15 reps. Mumble chatter was minimal at this point! Mosey to first soccer field and Da Thang:

    Del Brown= 25 yd crab walk and 10 Merkins, 25 yd crab walk and 10 Merkins, repeat to end of the soccer.  Partner up for wheelbarrows back across soccer field, AMRAP. PAX way to move!! My arms were smoked by the end!! Mosey over to field in front of the bleachers.

    Next. Super 21= 1 pushup, 1 situp; 2 pushups, 2 situps, and accordion up to 21. By 4th rep, mumble chatter was still minimal so YHC asked Xbox about Star Wars Battlefront (video game) to start conversation. Conversation lead to Battlefront 2 and having to purchase guns, etc on the game. Gamers pissed off at Battlefront 2, evidently. Mr. Roper thought were talking about real guns and accessories. YHC told him, no, that involves Comic Con in San Deigo. Shakedown told us that is where he began to follow The Grateful Dead and hanging out with naked hippie chicks. Soon, PAX members from RVA were apologizing to Xbox and Crabbie Englishman because it appeared we liked video games, Grateful Dead, and naked chicks. Wait…..we may like these………At this point, PAX and YHC had lost count of Super 21 so audible called for PAX to be at 17. YHC always calls an audible on Super 21. Hard to get this exercise finished! Time to mosey to corner soccer field–fence poles for yard markers.

    Charles Bronson= 50 SSH, than sprint 50 yds and low crawl last 25 yds to edge of soccer field, sprint back to start line; 50 LBC’s, sprint 50 yds, low crawl 25 yds and sprint back to start; 50 Jump Squats, sprint 50 yds, low crawl 25 yds, sprint back to start; 50 Mountain Climbers, sprint 50 yds, low crawl 25 yds and sprint back to start.

    Mosey back to basketball courts with 5 mins left- YHC set up two soccer goals at free throw lines. Yes, soccer  F3 style=Mr. Roper, YHC, Crabbie Englishman  crab crawl and Xbox, Jenny Craig, Shakedown bear crawl. Soccer with a twist. Score, 0 to 0.

    Mosey back to parking lot. Number-a-ma, Name-r-ama.

    Announcements-Shakedown virgin Q on Thursday at 45MOM. Morehead City is blessed to have summer workouts on the beach and Mary in the water! Can I say ROAD TRIP!!!  YHC took us out!

    NMS-light mumble chatter except for Super 21. Here is the recap…Xbox and Star Wars Battlefront->Real Guns and Star Wars acces.-> Comic Con->Grateful Dead->Naked Hippie Chicks…..sweet!

    It was a pleasure this morning to lead you gents! I thought, either a lot of PAX members, or sparce showing. No worries. Perfect way to start the day and crush a work out!! Thank you for the privilege to lead! Crabbie Englishman and Xbox, safe travels and hope to see you again!

    Loud and Proud,

  • Tis The Season

    5 regular PAX members circled up this morning with Rosie stating no one signed up for the Q. So Rosie took lead and we moseyed to blacktop behind BWES. YHC jumped in and it goes a little something like this:

    COP- SSH x 20, Imperial Walker x 15, Merkins x 15, LBC x 15, and Coppherhead Squat x 20. Enough-time to work!

    YHC began at the gravel track with, I’ll call it,  Down the Mountain= 50 Mountain Climbers and 1 lap around the track, than 40 Mountain Climbers and 1 lap, 30 Mountain Climbers and 1 lap, 20 Mountain Climbers and 1 lap, 10 Mountain Climbers and 1 lap. Rosie and YHC decided during our runs that Mr Roper needed to take lead. Q handed over to Mr Roper.

    Mr. Roper called triple check at blacktop. Bear Crawl to first basketball goal, WWII situps, and Scissor Kicks. Upon completion and Mr. Roper still having the Q, four corners called. 20 Merkins, 30 Squats, 40 Alabama Prom Dates (aka Matt Lauer’s or Mr. Moore’s) and 50 SSH. Before 4 corners started, there was a lot of mumble chatter about the PC’ness of Alabama Prom Dates given today’s environment. With the beauty of F3 and early am workouts, if anyone gets offend, too bad, F3 is free so stay in the fart sack! Mr. Roper  handed off the Q to Jenny Craig.

    And with a few seconds of intense thought, Jenny Craig decided-suicides with basketball goals serving as 2 markers however at each point of turning 20 Merkins, including the beginning of the suicide.  Jenny Craig handed off Q to Mr. Holland with 15 minutes to spare.

    Mr Holland calls out 11’s. Start with 10 Heels to Heaven, 1 WWII situp run across the blacktop, 9 Heels to Heaven, 2 WWII situps and so on to 1 Heel to Heaven, 10 WWII situps. 2 minutes to spare with an Indian Run down bus loop back to parking lot.

    Number-ama, Name-r-ama, and Annoucements- TYA and Swirly good luck and kick ass. Saab, way to support and help the brothers OUT!!

    Rosie has Q at Dogpile tomorrow so he has a plan! Heads up!

    YHC took us out! Gentlemen, it was a pleasure to share the early morning with each of you and get the day started! As we go into this Christmas season, let us not forgot the TRUE meaning of Christmas and ALWAYS be thankful for who we are, where we are, and what we stand for! Each day is a gift so take those opportunities for success and kick ass!

    Loud and Proud!

  • It’s Just A Brick!

    YHC decided to bring coupons, aka bricks, back to Dogpile for this morning’s workout. I apologize for not having a shovel flag. YHC arrived first with PAX arriving in a steady stream even after we embarked for our workout. With one minute to go, YHC told everyone to grab a brick. Honeydo advised PAX members that using a brick with holes in them was cheating!! Plus, YHC had a solid brick-gotta follow the Q. 0600 off we went with 2 PAX members arrving just as we moseyed on.

    Jog over the Fountain Lake where we circled up for Da Thang (of course, YHC could not get through the first exercise without messing up the count). X15 Don Quixote, X15 arm circles, forward (10 small, 5 big), X15 arm circles, backward (10 small, 5 big), X 30 SSH, x21 LBC’s with YHC crying mercy on his counting and deciding to start our workout!

    Exercise 1: At each light pole, X10 Squats, X10 American Brick Hammers. Total 28 light poles. Now,  Ollivander kept quiet that he did not grab a brick, (LATE). But, Fudd stated, “What if you don’t have a brick?” YHC stated, “Than you were late.” Of course, Fudd had an excuse-“I arrived on time.” UM NO, you did not because you would have heard the instructions to grab a brick. AND…3 light poles near concession did not count as they were not circling the lake. Planks with our bricks in hand as we waited for PAX to finish. Mosey to the Vita Course.

    Exercise 2: Start at the beginning of Vita Course, X20 WWII situps (good utilization of our coupons) at every exercise. Here is where Fudd recovers-he ran to get a brick and offered to get Ollivander one too! Approx 9 reps of x20 WWII situps occurred and YHC called an audible at sit up station near “the lawn”. Everyone accounted for-thanks to Honeymoon,. YHC was busy looking at the time left before 0700. Mosey to “the lawn”.

    Exercise 3: Brick-barrow. Partner up and x10 wheelbarrow walks with a brick in each hand and switch, for the length of field. YHC was without a partner, so brick-crawl. Bear crawl position and toss the brick forward than bear crawl to brick, repeat for length of the field. GREAT exercise for complete muscle failure! With 5 minutes left, one more exercise.

    Exercise 4: Lawn Sprints. Starting at Carillon side, sprint to end of the lawn, 30 second rests: sprint back toward Carillon, 20 second rest: sprint toward Boulevard, 10 second rest: final lawn sprint back to Carillon! Mosey back to the lot! And yes, bricks in hand!

    Number-ama, Name-r-ama, and Circle K took us out!

    Announcements; YHC assured PAX that my counting for medicines is perfect, unlike my counting of exercises. Convergence for VA Beach next weekend and C’ville 4 miler next Sunday. Bear Creek signup and near max for participants! And ET’s afterwards!

    Way to push Hitchhiker and Winehouse at the last lawn sprint!! Welcome Howard. You made it once, now come back! Thank you for following this am PAX members. I am blessed to be able to work out with an awesome group of men! Have an epic weekend!

    Loud and Proud,

    Flatline

     

  • Short sleeves?

    4 gentlemen showed up to Batteau this morning, dressed for a cool fall morning-long sleeves, one poofy vest, and Swirly sporting a toboggan hat. YHC was wearing short sleeves and typical visor. 0530 arrived and a question arose, “Who has the Q?” Swirly took the initiative and stated hot potato.

    Mosey down brick path to COP: SSH x 20, Helicopters x 15, Don Quixote x 15, Imperial Walkers x 15, Arm Circles-forward x 10 small, x 5 big and reverse x 10 small, x 5 big. On our 6- Scissor Kicks x 15, LBC x 30.

    Sippy Cup took the Q with his light and we headed down to the pond. During our mosey, Swirly spoke of his little run over the weekend. Hey Swirly, way to crush that “little” run!   Sippy called Exercise 2- x 10 merkins at every light pole with a penalty for every light out-crab touches. How many lights were out you might ask? 3 lights were out PAX performed X 10, X 20, x 30 crab touches, so with each light out-we increased the penalty.  Sippy was happy to know that one of his notification to the city about broken lights had been acknowledged and one light was fixed! Upon completion of merkin lake, we partnered up. Jumped up on stone bridge with our partners holding our legs and performed 3 rounds of x 10 dips. Upon completion, Flatline took the Q.

    Exercise 3-Quicksand. Run 30 steps up the hill, than turn around and x 5 lunges down the hill. Continue till PAX had returned to the steps. Plank at the end.And……Mosey to the tennis courts.

  • Bad decisions were made this morning…

    YHC rolled up to No Toll this am to see Gumbo finishing his mile-great commitment Gumbo! And the cars kept rolling in…19 men showed up this am to see if Flatline could count correctly! Ever since YHC first Q, all exercises have been found at the Exicon on F3 homepage or modified slightly.

    Mosey to the parking lot for COP-X15 arm circle (10 small, 5 big),  X15 Imperial Walker Squats, X20 Don Quixote, X15 Merkins, X15 LBC. And mosey to the soccer field…

    Exercise 1-WMD Crawl (Werkin, Merkin, Diamond Merkin) Bear Crawl……starting, x10 Bear Crawl/X5 Werkins, X10 Bear Crawl/X5 Merkins, X10 Bear Crawl/X5 Diamond Merkin and repeat previous 3 exercises in exact order to the end of soccer field back. Now, before PAX started there was plenty of mumble chatter…”the entire field”, “that’s a lot of merkins..” YHC knew the exercise was perfect when Rosie chimmed in, “..how far.”, or something to that extent. And, if Honeymoon ever needs another F3 name, “Bleeding Gash” would be perfect….I mean full of verbage this am. But the mumble chatter added to the experience…TOTALLY! YHC could not hear anymore complaining so an audible was called after finishing one length of the field. I mean BITCHING galore…so YHC switched all merkins to lunges-X10 Bear Crawls/X5 lunges for length of soccer field. Planks, waiting for PAX to finish. Mosey to parking lot, specifically, plenty of curb space….

    Exercise 2- The Butkis, in honor of Rocky’s dog! One minute toe touches to the curb, as fast as possible. One minute Al Gore with a few touchdown poses than one minute of toe touches, as fast as possible. We performed two cycles of this exercise. Rosie did point out to YHC that we may need to move to a point in the parking lot with light since YCH could not see his stopwatch. Others suggested just buying a new watch!! But YHC’s worked fine….just fat fingers from my gloves trying to his light button. Small ass buttons…………and mosey back to soccer field.

    Exercise 3-Super 21. Again, all exercises are listed in exicon or modified, including Super 21. You vs You. 1 merkin, 1 burpee, 2 merkins, 2 burpees, 3 merkins, 3 burpees, 4 merkins, 4 burpees…..continued till 21 merkins and 21 burpees are finished. Again YHC heard, “you mean we are going to do both exercises…” and “…more merkins..” And yes, even Rosie was adding to the mumble chatter. Honeymoon was full of himself this morning, and yes more bitching. So after YHC performed 9 merkins and 9 burpees and my ears could not hear anymore. AUDIBLE!! To the baseball courts…oops, I meant basketball courts. At least, I got the counting right this time. Mosey to the courts…

    Exercise 3-Dora-cides. Partner up. One partner runs suicides while other partner performs stated exercises and flapjack…suicides and X100 Arm circles, Suicides and X 200 LBC’s, and last, suicides and X 300 squats. And with one minute left in YHC’s workout, all PAX members did 1 suicide, AYG(all you got). Short mosey to parking lot…

    Number-ama, name-r-ama, and announcements, of which there were none. Except, Wilson–“dogs and kids.” Marmaduke took us out!

    Great showing this morning. Thank you for following and YHC knows he did something super when Rosie is involved with mumble chatter about YHC’s exercises!! Great to see newer F3 brothers continue to post-POSH, Ram Man, Ollivander as well as some old faces, Flashdance-good to see you brother!

    I am blessed to be able to get out of the fartsack and lead the PAX this morning!! I will always be thankful for this group and the men I have come to know and call my friends!!!

    Loud and Proud,

  • Moon’s Out, Shoes Off!

    YHC arrived to find Hardywood sipping his coffee. Gumbo and Rosie accepted the monthly challenge and finished running their mile and Mr. Roper peeling in hot with 4 minutes before the start! YHC decided to utilize James River HS fall field and track so we moseyed to The Swamp. During the run Hardywood and Mr. Roper started mumble chatter about a common acquaintance between the two who started a monthly mens group in his backyard. No workouts and their name-Extraordinary League of Ordinary Men. See Hardywood and Mr. Roper for clarification and any questions.

    End zone COP- X15 Arm circle (10 small, 5 big) and YHC forgot to stop (jacked up the count again), X15 squats,  X15 LBC,  X15 Don Quixote, and X15 Imperial Walkers

    Workout 1-Modified Merkin Mile (without the Merkins). Partner up and YHC was solo. Lap 1-one partner runs, other partner mountain climbers, switch. Now originally YHC thought mountain climbers would be a good work out for all four laps but quickly realized that was not happening. Lap 2-Run and squats, switch. Lap 3-Run and LBC, switch. Lap 4-Run and Arm Circles, switch.

    Workout 2-Quarter Pounder. Start at goal line, run to 25 yd line, perform 25 merkins and run back to goal  line. Than run to 50 yd line, perform 50 squats, run back to goal line. Run to 75 yd line (opponents 25 yd line), perform 75 mountain climbers, run back to goal line. Run 100 yds to other end zone, perform 100 SSH and back to goal line. Right before we started, YHC noticed Hardywood was sans shoes and Hardywood responded with his typical “super” response. YHC was thinking during workout 2 let’s give this a try. So before YHC started workout 3 off came the shoes and socks and looked down the line and the other 3 PAX members were sans shoes and socks too.

    Workout 3-Merkin Ladder. All PAX members in bare feet too. Run to 50 yd maker, 20 Merkins and back to goal line for 19 Merkins. Run to 50 yd marker for 18 Merkins, back to goal line for 17 Merkins, and so on til there were no more Merkins to do. Hardywood is onto something, and you too Labrat! No socks and shoes….no problem!

    With just enough time to place our grassy feet back in socks and shoes, we moseyed over the hill back to Betty Weaver for number-ama, name-r-ama, and announcements; Viral has fundraiser tomorrow, Richmond Community Toolbank Hammers and Ales, check preblast. Dogpile Q spoken for till end of November.

    YHC took us out!

    Every time I work out with all F3 fella’s, I quickly realize that getting up at 0500 or riding in a clown car, totally makes my day. Thank you for your energy, spirit, and never ending commitment to strive in being a better person. God Bless!

  • River Run Hits Reverse!

    Four BRR participants showed up this morning knowing that something big lies ahead in 5 weeks. YHC showed up, pedal to the metal after getting out of bed at 0508. Honeymoon asked who had the Q and YHC responded, well I think its time to get started anyway. Audible called by the PAX.

    Reverse Twin Team route!! Slightly behind schedule we were off. Twin Team Hill at 0540 is NO JOKE!! Lug did 4 mile route and Honeymoon, Flatline, and Wedding Singer ran 5 mile route. And, at the end, the PAX all finished together.

    Solid run this morning men. Super way to start the week!!

    Number-rama, name-a-rama, and announcements–2nd F Thursday at Vale with OBT, 1800.

    Honeymoon took us out!!

    God Bless this morning and the ability to start the week with a solid group of men. And God Bless F3!!
