Post P200 at Colosseum
First post for many following P200. Other men better than me sacked up and ran or lifted heavy things yesterday. Me? I slept. But not today. I had the conch and I wanted to get back to basics. Back to strength. With a…

18 for Wall Crawling at the Colosseum
YHC arrived at the Colosseum just in time to see the pre-runners coming in. Crash was with them and gave us a quick joke about not wanting to attend so he was leaving. Part of that was true, he did have to leave for a…
SLOW BURN · FEB 26, 2016
Feeling the Burn!
I got the Q call the day before Slow Burn and decided to take a run at it. This is one of the best AO's in The Fort and always brings out the mumble chatter. Before today, I didn't realize the level of "RESPECT" out…

It may have been wet, but at least it wasn't cold!!
As I sat in my truck at 5:10, I looked over at Pusher (still in his vehicle), and said "looks like your gonna be my partner today." Luckily CSPAN, Hasslehoff, and Crabcakes (a few minute late) rolled in as well avoiding…

What goes up, must come down...with burpees
Coming fresh off a marathon a couple of days ago, I contemplated 0 (see Zero) running, but hey I like pain just like the next guy. A couple of days ago the idea struck me that we could do an escalator, elevator and…

Bait and Switch...if they only knew!! #sorrynotsorry
21 of the Fort's finest descended upon WEP expecting a decent beatdown from Double D. Little did they know that Double D was in Texas and YHC was in charge. Some thought about leaving and wondering if they had enough…

When the Weinke Comes Up Short...
Not wanting to run and stay fresh for this morning's Q was not in the cards when half the Pax sent me messages asking what time we were running (more like Cerrano and Maximus). 0445 was the answer and so YHC, Cerrano…

Circle of Fiyah
Great to be back at the Ranch. Last Q/Post was some time in the spring. We had a dirty dozen post for an intestinal fortitude gut check. It was a little #FridayNightLights or #VarsityBlues with cars shining their…

What's this whole F3 thing about again?
It's finally cooling off a little and so the gloom is back to being gloomy instead of feeling like a sauna... I was excited to lead this AM, because a few weeks ago I finished reading Freed To Lead, and I had some…

There wasn't any Running at Armory today....

Dirty McDuecearama with Porta-johns
Pulled up to The Fort this morning (WEP) and noticed a 5k was being setup. Panicked for about 5 seconds then realized I would make whatever was on the Weinke work. Luckily, the PAX knows where to park on race day as it…

Running down a dream
16 pax posted to Laces Out with speed on their mind -- a 10k time trial to test themselves in the gloom. It was a BRR-inspired training run that drew more than merely BRR pax. The absence of Red Banjo opened a door that…

Exercising the ghost of gluttony
After traveling 14 days out of the month of April, many of those on personal agendas instead of work), YHC had fallen into the trap of too much unhealthy food, too much drink and not enough discipline. 16 Pax posted at…
