“Let this be your outlet”

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: EC- YHC, Dahmer, Cancun, Yogurt, Swisher Sweets for a 2 mile EC. Also, Java & Warbucks on their bikes.  Nice work & the guys pushed me to the 2 mile PR 9:18 pace.

SSH (20), Frankensteins (10), Good mornings (15) & Willie Mays Hays (10).

The Workout: I decided not to over plan & not print out a sheet. This was a good idea & I didn’t think too much about it. It was time to dive in & focus on my weak points.

Indian run over to the dreaded hill towards Bass Lake/Greenway.

We paired up in twos. 5 rounds of hill sprints (what a rush).

Indian run back to the rock pile. Curls for the girls (20 X 2), tri-cep ext (20 X 2), Ruh Rohs (20 X 1), Bus drivers (20 X 1), shoulder press (20 X 2) & shoulder raises (20 X 1).

Pavilion area- Erkins (20 X 1), Derkins (20 X 1), Dips (20 X 1).

Mary: Call arounds at the tennis court. Cancun got us at the end!

Announcements: Run with 3-Alarm (Davis) every Tuesday at 6pm. Lookout for Yogurt’s posts.

My message at the end was “Let this be your outlet”. Tomorrow it will make one year that my family & I have been in HS. Prior, I did not have an outlet, was stressed out, angry & bitter. I would take things out verbally at times on my family. F3 has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you Pax for your friendship! It was an honor to lead this morning!

T-Claps (Recognition): Pumpkin Spice for not backing down & focusing on his weak points too. Boss Hog, Cyclops & Fireball for pushing through it.

Prayer: Cyclops wife, Shredder & many more for their mission trip to Mexico. My M & FIL on their trips home. Safe travels.

1776 – Celebration of Freedom

/in /by

There are lots of ways one might choose to celebrate the freedom that we so often take for granted. The F3 way is to have a brutal beatdown that serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free – it was purchased and preserved by countless patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 (NLT)

YHC is truly grateful for my F3 brothers who push me to become a better version of myself – physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks for the push to get through the 1,776 reps! Keep up the great work HIM and keep pushing each other!

14 PAX and 8 Respect at Kung POW!

/in /by

Q #4 this week. I had a lot of support from repeat PAX and I appreciate that. I actually pulled this off site work out from Deadbolt from about a year ago.

FNG: Nope

Workout: We left the PVA and headed to towards Harris Teeter. We stopped every so often and did a number of warm ups along the route. We moseyed to the left of Town Hall Burger and we did a triangle workout.

At bottom of hill 10 IC monkey humpers-top of hill 5 burpees-behind shopping center 10 IC Merkins. Rinsed and Repeated 4 times. Ended up with 20 IC shoulder taps.

Thanks to Salty Pots we Indian Run 4 corners of parking lot split up into 2 groups performing random exercises all the way around for 2 times.

Started to head back and at every light pole we stopped and did a IC 10 count various exercises. Apparently I was not clear enough for every light pole, so I made it clear and we stopped at pole and did an exercise. This light pole workout was compliments of Dauber who made us do this at Kenny’s Grave in the rain.

Mary: Circled up for various exercises and stretching.

Announcements: Picnic tomorrow 11:00 am.

T-Claps: Woody who has been killing it! Gillette for coming out with injury. Pots for the support and EC all week running! Way to Be!!

Prayers: All those still missing in the collapse of the building in Florida. Injured PAX!

 

I appreciate the opportunity to Lead!!  #Roll Bengals!!!

Sharing Treasure @ AGS 6/13/21

/in /by

Yogurt had sent me a message on Strava asking where I was finding all the golf balls and replied back that if he showed up to AGS on Sunday that I would show him one of my secret spots on the route.  Well Yogurt definitely showed up on Sunday and he also happened to find a golf ball in that exact area along with Pikachu.  I told them the rule going forward is that if they find a golf ball in that spot that they need to post in on Strava.  Yogurt posted his find, but Pikachu did not.  : P

Holy Humidity Batman! 6/12/21

/in /by

This was about as humid of a morning I’ve experienced running so far this year.  I figured it would be bad because it rained all day Friday and as the sun came up it felt like a steam room.  The only relief was a little bit of sporadic drizzling rain that hit us on the rain.  I’m truly amazed at anyone who’s running in this type of weather without some type of hydration pack, or water bottle, or hydrating gel pack, or whatever else may be out there that I don’t know about.

FNGs: none

Warm Up: quick parking lot mosey, 10x Good Mornings, 10x Daisy Pickers, 30-35 Merkins OYO

The Workout: 6mi, 3.5mi, or ruck.  6mi route included a search for the albino deer, which eluded me this morning as usual

Mary: no time

Announcements: Warbucks collecting baby, preemie, and newborn items at AO’s to donate to the Newborn Critical Care Center at UNC Children’s Hospital to celebrate and honor his lost 5-week old son every year.

T-Claps (Recognition): Elton for coming all the way out to Holly Springs from Wake Forest to celebrate his 1yr anniversary.

Prayer: Axe father getting knee replacement surgery, Alpine travelling with family to Switzerland, safety for all those running the Grasshopper 5k

3-Alarm – Add ROXANNE to the Playlist

/in /by

After last week’s “beta” run, it was time to get serious—or giddy. New front tube—check; playlist—check; more runners—including Go-Gurt, Martini, Pikachu, and Wild Turkey—check!

FNGs: None, but one Kotter: Go-Gurt

Warm Up: 3-Alarm speech: Thank you for coming out today my name is 3-Alarm and if you don’t know already I have some disability’s and it’s hard for me to do some things. But it’s not why we are here for. We are here for going on a run. Come up here Pikachu and Yogurt. These guys brought F3 to me and brought you all out here to run with me. So, I want a moment to say thank you… now let’s run!

The Workout: Pikachu took off with 3-Alarm in his “sled” first. Five PAX headed up Acorn Falls towards Go-Gurt’s house. He had a basketball game at 5 pm and was just getting home. We picked up Go-Gurt and started our rounds of Holly Glen. Staying on smooth pavement and avoiding bumps is paramount because 3-Alarm feels every bump.

3-Alarm requested a push from all—he wanted to make sure everyone got a good workout. He especially wanted Wild Turkey to push—maybe it was his turkey call. 3-Alarm is also well versed in picking up the six. With Pikachu pushing, he got out ahead and routinely requested to turn around to pick up the six. Everyone learned how to handle the sled. It does not turn easily and gains speed going downhill!

A running chair draped with a flag and 3-Alarm’s smile and laughter draws some fans. We drew smiles and waves from several ladies celebrating 5 o’clock in their garage. Another runner kept following us. Cars slowed down and waved.

We got in our miles and circled back to the house with Pikachu and Go-Gurt in an all-out sprint and 3-Alarm’s hair flying in the wind!

Mary: Nope
Announcements: F3 picnic, Warbuck’s collection
T-Claps (Recognition): All for posting today. Especially Martini, who is in pain from kidney stones.
Prayer: Martini’s aunt, who is recently had heart attack

Backstory: Planted the flag in 3-Alarm’s yard at 5:50 pm. Much better than last week when I planted the flag in the neighbor’s yard accidentally. It had been a while since I had visited and the neighbor’s house looked the same. Oh well. But here, today, I got the right house. Wild Turkey, Pikachu, and Martini rolled in immediately. After brief introductions, I helped get 3-Alarm into his running chair. Last week, his mom lifted him with a big bear hug. No mom today, so I guess it’s my turn. Lots of laughter.

3-Alarm had been texting me for a week, looking forward to the run: You got any runners yet? He also wanted to express his gratitude for F3 runners. He wrote the above speech and I asked if I would deliver it for him. I agreed, but he asked if I would take a video of myself delivering the speech and send it to him beforehand—to make sure he liked it. Thumbs up!

Pikachu presented 3-Alarm with a new F3 Pick up the Six t-shirt. He was stoked! He wants to run and race more.

Finally, turns out 3-Alarm requested ROXANNE by Arizona Zerves—not the Police. We played both. Plus plenty of songs with the word “roll.” Next run: Tuesday, June 29
