One man waited, albeit very briefly, for a cherub to appear in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Doberman walker, the following might have happened:
Northbound, Fudd, 58th street, reverso, BTTVSF. Call it 40 slow minutes.
YHC has been on his feet teaching all week. How do full-time teachers do this? Respect.
Number, name, YHC took himself out.
One young whipper-snapper whipped out of the Fart Sack to take on a gift from Heaven – 55 and clear in south Florida. Ok, temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the person running the stop sign at Peters and the parking lot, the following might have happened.
Route: North, parking lot loop 1, cross Peters, parking lot loop 2, further north, left at mall, pass the carnival set-up, bounce of Broward, and reverso BTTVSF. Number, name, quick chat with Omar, and a word of thanks.
NMS: YHC has been all over this week, so good to shake off the cobwebs and get the juices flowing. A cool Florida morning is not common, so never a thing to waste.
Write-up below is from my downrange Q today at “The Dump” in kansas city. I travel there for work alot and have got to know the guys and asked if they were interested in seeing how the big boys do it out east! The guys did great – I also had the pleasure of 2 work colleagues, my little brother, and an FNG joining! See below for deets.
12 hard chargers gathered for a State Farm downrange Q surprise! I tried to bring the pain train in from Richmond Va – but the F3Kc PAX were up for the challenge and not faint of heart. The following may have happened as the fog rolled in…
2 Davillians arose early during their Presbytery weekend in Angier, NC to help YHC get some miles in.
Route was tough with lots of cul-a-sac to hit since the neighborhoods next to the AirBnB we stayed were small. After a few loops, we were able to get in 4ish miles
Quick showers and some 2nd F time with some good pour overs were had before heading to our 8 am meeting
SPIT ON THAT!!
One pushed off the lure of the afternoon nap sack (who doesn’t love conferences that end at 3 p.m.?) and ventured onto the sands of Marco Island. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the giant sand castle makers, the following might have happened:
Southbound towards Cuba until YHC faced the point of No Return.
Reverso.
BTTVSF.
NMS: YHC struggles with any workout or run after coffee time. Today was no different. Just a slog, albeit with conditions in the low 70s with pleasant cloud cover. Thank you for your sympathies. Even though this all happened within 1 vertical foot of actual sea level, somehow going North felt as though it was uphill the entire way.
226 Shopping Days until BRR. Let’s go!!
One warrior of The Gloom ventured into the frigidity in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny (well, 67 and sunny). According to the Mall Cop, the following might have happened:
2. Heavier than desirable dude ran past as part of 5 mile run. No unplanned rest stops.
Number, name, and YHC said a little something-something to put the day into perspective.
The Clinic hits the road next week. F3 Marco Island here we come…

Mosey. COP. SSH, DQ, Arm Circles, seal claps, markins, WW2. Mosey to thang

12 days of Christmas. Accumulating
NMS – great to hang out with the boys in Boston. They keep coffee warm in a pot outside while we workout. Thanks for the ride Alka Seltzer!
a PAX named Secret Q’d and got injured and never came back? We’re going to do that today. That was the introduction to today’s beatdown. YHC was promised a “full breakfast” afterwards and wasn’t sure what to expect. Well, there was breakfast casserole, pound cake, a Costco baklava tray, pecan pie, and coffee. Tclaps!
Regions: Carpex/SCary/Peak City
PAX: 62 / FNGs: 4
WARMUP: Following the pledge and identification of the 4 FNG, we did a quick count-off to ensure all were included. Disclaimers were left undone to the frustration of the SCary Nantaan. Banjo led the group for a mosey to the fountain at the newly opened DTC park for the rest of the warm-up. SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good mornings, calf stretch & runners stretch.
THE THANG: Banjo then split the PAX into two groups. Group One followed Banjo to one side of the park for two sets of exercises, and Group Two followed YHC to the playground for two activities. The park claimed its first injury victim when Captain Hook slipped hard on the wet walkover and was attended to by a group of the PAX led by compount W. After the second set was completed, the two groups swapped locations to complete the additional two sets at the other Q’s location.
MARY: The whole bunch joined back up for a mosey back to the flag and joined the parking lot bruisers for a couple quick sets of Mary consisting of LBCs, heels to Heaven, & Eskimo merkins led by Kwikstop.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Turkey day, football at Weatherstone Elementary followed by tailgating at Burt Reynolds, Freed to bleed 12/2, Cary Christmas Parade 12/9, Carpex Christmas party 12/14. All have sign-up sheets and details on Slack. COT: prayers for a number of our brothers and their loved ones who are dealing with sickness, illness, and injury to keep them all in our prayers. Thanks were given to F3, the men who make our particular region great, and the suggestion to be intentional towards those you love on this beautiful day.
