Figured 8

Insomnia #TheStandard, the original, the ever popular Insomnia kicked off the morning. There was even an FNG, EH’d by our bro Flacco. Due to his first post being Insomnia Callahan (the amazing Site Q) hit him with the disclaimer and we were off for a reverse Davis Drive loop…come to Insomnia to learn what that route is. Insomnia Runners: Callahan, Chinese Downhill, FNG, Flacco, Ollie, Shut-In “THE SIX” also ran their own Thang. [Read More]

Happy Burp-day!

Rolling down the road to Tortoises I get a message alert, “Where is everybody? Is Tortoises closed today?” I got to thinking, should’ve I pre-blasted my birthday celebration at Tortoises? I didn’t want to make people choose between a birthday celebration or the soft launch of Lion’s Den. I wanted to ensure the soft launch was a success for Red Ryder and Sour Mash, but did I underestimate the draw that the Lion’s Den would have? [Read More]

Merkins, Merkins, Merkins, and more Merkins

Yesterday evening I was perusing the weather forecast, workout options and Q-sheets….ok, yes, I was Q-Shopping a bit. About that time, Yoga Mat posted that Bluewater would be running the show here at FWD in the morning and I immediately decided…THAT is where I’m going!!! Shortly thereafter, I got a call from Bluewater advising he would not be able to make it and asking if I would fill in for him. [Read More]

EH Your M

Your right. It had nothing to do with the 1stF this morning which is generally the purpose of a BB but from where I stood this morning it was the most significant thing I said. We spend our mornings pouring into ourselves and each other by way of strength building, creating comradery and lifting each other’s concerns up and we do it in the name of being better men, husbands and community leaders.

Johnny Cash and American Dollies... wait, what?

Being that it is YHC’s birthday, and that birthday is shared with the Man in Black, himself; the late, great Johnny Cash, this was supposed to be a Q to honor the man and his music. Well, it started out that way, but slid off the rails just a bit. One should expect that anytime Frisco is present for a workout, but YHC can’t really pin this one on him. [Read More]

7 for 7s

A select group of 7 showed up at Sovereign Grace Church early Monday morning at a site so new that it still doesn’t have a tag on the F3 Carpex web site yet. The location close to home and the allure of a high tempo workout was enough to inspire YHC to take the lead in order to continue building momentum for this new AO. Here’s what we did… Warm-Up [Read More]

Climbing Burp-back Mountain

Sixteen gathered at the flag for the first exercise, the Pledge of Allegiance. After disclaimers are given and allegiance is pledged, mosey to the large parking lot. One coming in hot brings it to 17. Warm Up SSHs, Cotton-pickers, Moroccan Night Clubs, Sir Fazio, Plank Jacks and Control Freak Merkins Thang 1 Modified Cooper - instead of exercises each lap, we are going to stop twice per lap to complete in descending fashion - 10 Burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins.

Diamonds Are Forever

Today was the last day of YHC’s 52nd year on this big blue ball, so what better way to send it out than a nice game of 52-pick up, kettle bell style! A few PAX narrowly avoided penalty burpees by sliding into the parking lot just as we launch. As it turns out, they’d get plenty of burpees later on. #foreshadowing Warm up Take a circle of the parking lot, the long way, stopping at the flag for the Pledge of Allegiance. [Read More]

Found

3 for EC: Disco Duck, Term Paper, and YHC Honeycomb advised his FNG would be several minutes late, so we proceeded with the Pledge of Allegiance and then off to the first parking lot to warm up. SSH, Imperial walker, good morning, cotton picker. Recover and head back to the gate to pick up Honeycomb, Disco Duck and FNG. 10 burpees and hill billys. Recover, share disclaimer, head off into the park.
