‘Twas the day after Father’s Day, when all through the town, F3 men and dads rose with a groan, not making a sound. Their bellies were full of sinful libations and feasts from last night. Yet their movie spirits were high, ready to fight. In sneakers and t-shirts, they converged on the Rountrey parking lot “gym”, each man with a grin though their eyes were quite dim. From burgers and brews, and gifts wrapped with care. They’d celebrated well, now it was time to REPAIR. Fandango led them on a mosey and then a warmup that involved side-straddle hops, dead…

Seven of us posted at The Deep this morning, and being that it was my B’Day Q…we had a theme of 54. After a brief warm up we cranked out 10 Burpees and then went to the hill for 5’s (think of 11’s but fewer). Mike Tyson’s and Squats. Then to the bigger hill for 4’s (Merkins and Carolina Dry Docks). Added another set of 10 Burpees. Then after finishing 5’s-4’s on the hills, we went to the picnic benches for a new type of 50 4’s (50 exercises 4 times). 50 Step Ups, 50 Squats, 50 Decline Merkins, and…
Three studs awoke to steamy conditions ready to examine the age-old question, “What’s my title?” Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the guy going out for a THIRD round this morning (21 miles!), the following might have happened: Route: South bank, Buttermilk, Forest Hill, reverso, and back to the virtual shovel flag. 7 miles. In today’s temperatures / conditions, this was like running 7 miles in a simmering soup. Numbers, names, and YHC took us out. Announcements: Prayers for PAX members and their families, Breaking Bread, and Whitesnake leading The Bridge on July 19. Happy Father’s Day. NMS: Offshore…
37 PAX including 12 proud Dads, one baller Mrs Heist & a massive gaggle of hard-charging 2.0’s (plus four lovely ladies in waiting doing their own walk/run) posted to The Forge for a memorable (and crazy fun) Father’s Day beatdown. Here’s how we honored the day!

15 chiseled behemoths of power alternated between Tomahawk Park and Short Pump Middle School. They did not all arrive at 7 but that is OK. The morning went something like this.

Cumulative exercises with # corresponding with yard line (well there were no yard lines so it was a guess). 10 HRMs, 20 WWIIs, 30 2 count Mountain Climbers, 40 squats, 50 LBCs. Mosey to front of school. Lots of mumble chatter throughout. Triple check with run around oval, donkey kicks and flutter kicks. Mosey to…
YHC arrived at 6 am – Big Rig had already completed 3 plus miles of running. Draper and I rucked the paved trail and added a heavily spider webbed unpaved route. Finished back at the flag with a couple minutes to spare. Big Rig ran to parts unknown, but popped up a few times along the route. Overall conditions were hot and muggy – the sweat was pouring before Heist’s epic beatdown kicked off. SYITG
YHC opened up the morning to a 6 AM pre bootcamp stretch & 5K. It was just this Beaver but it was great to get a nice run in and enjoy the outdoors.

16 dudes (including two FNGs) got in done this morning at Rock and Roll. Plant the flag….started a little before 7:00 a.m. because I was ready to go!
