    Welcome to FNG, Shakira (the hips don’t lie) who represented well in his first appearance at Source of Truth. It was great having you join us, I hope to see you next week.
    The PAX moseyed into Wilson neighborhood hoping to find M.Wilson cooking up a fine breakfast. Unfortunately the PAX instead found a long steady hill with a steep finish. Maybe we’ll try that one day with a little more notice for Wilson.
    All represented well today on what was mostly a jog/run event. Estimated distance is approximately 2.5 to 3 miles.

    TYA & Wilson were fast, Oyster has a shiny new car, Wedding Singer & Shakira can bond over not very cool names but cool dudes, and YHC is still pretty darn slow.
    Have a good one guys, See you next time!

    It was good to see Clooney back in action at SOT.  Not to mention the extra credit he earned by tapping the goal post of the get & burps.  Bleeder tapping the base of the goal post does not count.

    Speaking of Bleeder he almost pulled off the Jimmy Snuka flying EH this morning.   We are hopeful to see Keith at a workout soon.
    YHC picked a much too heavy “boulder” for the Four Corners workout.  What was supposed to be a leg session turned into an arms & back workout.  Sometime the best laid plans ……

    Wilson & Bleeder swapped elite level athlete positions today.  Bleeder at the front and Wilson hung out with YHC.  Thanks Wilson.

    It should be noted that the rock carrying exercise was a demonstration of the extra lbs YHC carries on a normal workout.  Eat healthy fellas

    Our Hero, otherwise known as Fudd, was contemplating if getting out of bed this morning was a good idea.  I’m not sure if the workout was tough enough for an Elite International Athlete but after a slight jab at Bleeder’s lunge technique and the size of his “Rock” which according to news reports was the approximate size of TYA’s stone, it appears all is ok in the world of Fudd and everyday people.

    Toga is still trying to get back in F3 shape, good idea to keep coming cross the river.  Good luck taking on the guys in the Sandhills.

    Welcome to FNG, Parking Spot, way to hang today.  I hope to see you back often.

    Great to see Oyster today as well.  His first appearance on his home court.

    Wilson was EARLY!  Yaay!

    Bleeder continues to pick up speed.  Strong contender on the King of Hearts today.  YHC believes he took at least one victory.

    BT & Wilson killed it knocking down at least 100 burpees in the 10 minutes of Burps.  Awesome job guys.

    See you next time!

    Great to see Earthworm at SOT.  He’s always bringing the max.  Somehow he survived an automotive tussell with Bleeder on the way down Old Hundred.  Not many survive those Earthworm, Well done.

    Fertilizer, small fibia’s, and 6 women discussions were heard in the mumble chatter during the lunges.  Not sure how the convo got started but it did make the next 5 minutes of lunges bearable.  It was also nice to help out Conspiracy and pick up his jacket all the way on the other side of the field.  He must have been pretty gassed to be walking so leisurely.

    Bleeder’s apparel store was open in the trunk of his car.  Not 100% sure what he was selling but it looked like some were buying.

    YHC and DK discussed the trials and tribulations of installing ceiling fans.  While YHC’s color blindness is an issue DK was able to repair manufacturing defects.  If the F3 Nation needs assistance, DK is the man to go to.

    Afterwards Bleeder and YHC ventured out to meet our man in the press box.  Turns out his name is Reggie and he’s been living there for about a month. Reggie gave us a brief spiritual lesson and was off onto his daily adventure via Old Hundred Road.  We wish him the best.

    See you next time!

    17 came out this fine morning for a little shake and bake in the gloom!  The warm-up count and cadence was a little off due to the extreme overnight aging of the QIC and first time Q jitters.  One (FNG) Oracle- posted and received a good first timer beat down.  Hope he won’t be one and done!

    Brain Tumor begged “don’t you put that kind of evil on me!” during the fire workout.

    Lugnut was almost decapitated by Pucker in the Frisbee run.  Chinese 5 hour glow in the dark chemicals only lasted 5 minutes.  Who would have thunk.

    TYA received the shout out in a professional manner and proceeded to give 5 minutes of Hail Mary!

    All in all, the pax did a great job!  Thanks for all the respect on my big day!

    Its difficult to come up with a lot of trash to talk after a morning like this one. 231 merkins & 231 abs, and that does not include the 150  the PAX completed on the merkin walk.

    Fudd brought the passion from the moment he rolled into the parking lot.  A few were concerned he may have forgotten to take his medication early on, but we were all drinking the Kool-Aid before it was over.

    Heros by Alesso is the official song of SOT.  Why you might ask?  Because Fudd felt it exemplified the spirit of F3.  Cranking up the stereo in a quiet middle school parking lot is always entertaining. #flashback

    Wedding Singer continues to drive F3 participation in the Earth Day 5k.

    YHC was promoting Wilson’s golf tournament which it turns out Singer has played in the last two years.  Who knew!

    Fudd graciously sponsored a foursome and somehow headlocked Bleeder also.  Did I say Fudd was on a roll today?

    Rock solid, no man left behind crew of guys today.

    Well done!

    First off I must say great work by all today.  Toga (yes, Toga) set the pace for 52 friendly 100 yard runs.

    YHC did hear a few rumblings at the beginning of the workout from the Mayor of Grumpton but it seemed to subside or YHC breathing was too heavy to notice.

    Have to admit it was nice having Toga & BT on the south side, assumptions are that property values rose a couple of points today.  As all good host should do, you don’t want to brag about how good your AO is in front of others.  Therefore, we stayed on the football field throughout the workout and saved a little mystery for another day.

    Shout out to Wedding Singer for leaving no man left behind and running with YHC during a vast majority of the runs.  I know you were prepped to defeat Toga this morning. You had him.

    DK, your squat jump selection was perfect.  I got the squat but couldn’t find the jump!

    TYA paced very nicely this morning, it was almost like he knew something other’s did not??????

    Lastly Wilson gave the “Big Reveal” on Carrie joining the FBI on the next season of Homeland.   Hope that didn’t ruin the surprise for anyone else.   I know, I know it’s the CIA.

    Hey, where is Conspiracy?

    Have a great one!

    After awakening at 3 a.m. and reviewing the plan multiple times YHC was anxious for his VQ to start. It is amazing how difficult it is to remember the proper F3 lingo.

    Props to FNG Herbie, Raleigh’s Yukon Cornelius, and local Rest Stop for joining us today.  Well Done!  We hope to see you all again soon.

    It was great seeing Bleeder’s & TYA’s face when the battle rope hit the ground.   YHC did enjoy the smell of fear.

    It was also great to see a 4 pack of west ender’s arrive in one car.  I’m assuming gas prices are going back up!

    YHC understands that Wedding Singer has knocked down 15 in a row.  You da’man!

    Of course LugNut did another fantastic job.  He was unbelievably good and REALLY fast! (creative liberties taken by BB transcriber, Lug)

    Welcome back Johnsonville! It was good to see you back in action with a pain threshold of only 3, only when you breathe of course.  Well done.

    When the rest of the PAX showed after coffee and doughnuts we were already 1/2 way through the Joey Logano.  YHC did notice Jville’s pace picked up when Conspiracy arrived.  Wilson on the other hand may have been a little GASSED today!  Just saying the nose knows.

    Congrats to Wedding Singer on completing the 6 pack.  Great job!

    Also Congrats to Bleeder on the double shot.  Excellent job setting the example for the younger guys.

    Thanks for the help DK with the Q on the fly.

    Great 2nd F today.  Enjoyed it.
