At a cool 38° and with the Ides of March approaching, it wasn’t a Shakespearean betrayal that had YHC worried – it was what miserable AMRAP challenge would Turbo come up with next? So 14 days in, I figured we’d sprinkle a few of the past challenge exercises (italicized below) …
4 Pax met up in the brisky gloom this morning for a round of hip mobilization and core activation activities. Joe Pilates, back in 1919, promised that by following his methods you would develop a flexible youthful spine, a strong center, and system wide integrated strength. Ol’ Joe was a …
With the beginning of the week and March madness tipping off on Thursday. The QIC arrived at the Marsh to the sights of 2 Cinderella hopefuls waiting at center court. Would either be selected by the NCAA committee for this weekends tournament? Or would they need to except another invitation …
YHC arrived at the Scramble on this chilly Gloom with the idea of challenging the PAX to a faster pace on our 5k journey. In past runs we average between 28-30 mins.. As we chattered about the previous months RRR challenge and how neither of the PAX present have ran …
If you live in Old Mandeville, and are up at odd hours like the men of F3, then you’ve surely noticed the otherworldly purple glow emanating from sky in the center of town. Many have been beckoned by this glow, called upon to find out just what exactly is this …
It’s been fairly well-documented, but The Marsh has been on life support for weeks. A harsh winter and the prolonged absence of Butt Splice has put the AO into a deep coma, and resuscitation has been slow and unsuccessful. YHC provided some half-assed CPR this morning, but knows that it’ll …
Being able to join my Brothers on a day of reflection does not get any better for a F3 member. I thank Turbo for encouraging me to join this fine group, just over one year ago. So many men I now know. Bonding to make us stronger indivudually and as …
4 pax met at the trailhead in the gloom today. 3 of the 4 pax had been logging alot of miles this month for the ISI challenge. With the eldest member of the pax close to breaking the 130 mile mark, pretty impressive. With all this running and not alot …
11 Pax posted for our Saturday beat-down. I hate burpees, so we knocked out the big rocks first: 10 burpees, 9 burpees, 8 burpee,…. etc and on with the pattern continuing down until there was nothing left and then we finished off with another.. 10 burpees. Then we did short …
Yeah, you read that right. Now, seasoned long distance runners know about this and prepare properly for it, and YHC had heard of it and maybe even seen a few ghastly pictures at some point. But, YHC assumed that our (relatively) measly mileage this month wouldn’t cause such a disturbing …
