Fast! Baby Laps!
What does that mean? First, shout out to Hauschka for the invite to Sea Legs. After attempting a route through Palisades for 20 minutes the day before, I decided on an oldie. Lets run in circles around the school real…

Laces Out Happened
It happens every week. I usually go when I Q because it’s like 15 minutes earlier than other workouts. But I’m glad that Nomad in his effort to help those that struggle with the fartsack, keeps me in rotation. So we ran…

Lucky 13 at Footloose For a Re-do of My 1st F3 Workout

Prepared for Rucking?
It was an honor to lead 6 High Impact Males this morning in the Ruck WO at Golden Corral. This is always a difficult Q for me because I never want to underestimate the abilities of the men I am leading. WARMUP We began…

Tour of the Front 9 @ Tempo
I let Gekko's DM on twitter sit there all day. A call out to Tega Cay Pax that he needed a sub Q at Tempo for an injured Senator Tressel. Messages came in that several Pax were down range. You see, I had a scheduled…

Fast 5 Training @ LO = Bad Idea
Pretty sure my favorite style of running is trails but for some reason, I love using the track. Schedule was being drawn up a few weeks back and I got pulled in early. Thus it was my turn to Q Laces Out and like usual…

Damp, Dirty, and Itchy at Pantheon
What an amazing morning it was, especially for a mid-summer gloom (weather-wise - "amazing" wouldn't be the word to describe the workout). Temps in the lower 60's, and modest humidity compared to normal/recent soupiness…

3.0 Miles and Legorama (nothing fancy)
Shoulder injuries suck. But they shouldn't prevent you from dishing out a good beatdown. About a week ago Cable Guy asked if the shoulder was still hurt as I had the upcoming Q. I said yes and that I'd work around it…

Buncha Monkeys at Footloose
How many monkey humpers can one do in a Q before the Pax get cranky? Turns out quite a few. I rolled in at 5:13 with just a few minutes to spare. Looked like a great group was forming for this gloomy workout. YHC has…

I'm here to pump you up
14 pax posted to The Swamp in a Friday morning gloom that had the feel of a summer morning with the warmth & humidity. Maybe that's what had Cable Guy moving a bit sluggishly. Maybe it was his disappointment in not…

Golden Corral Triple Digit 2 Miler
The weekly convergence at Golden Corral did not disappoint again this week. The craziness that we head lock each other into (GoRuck Tough, P200, and just generally getting stronger and better) is the catalyst for these…

4 years in gets you a VQ
I've been a part of this F3 Workout thing that really seems to be much more than a workout, especially in our large but tight-knit group in The Fort/Rock regions. I've been a regular at the bootcamps, an occasional…
