While F3 is often known for its 5:30 AM workouts, people in the public and even those new to F3 don’t often realize the REAL point is the invigoration of male leadership in the community. Last weekend I received a request from Hand In Hand Ministries to assist in their flood relief efforts in theContinue reading “High Invigoration and HIMness – Eastern KY Flood Relief”

Pax: Big Bird, Stormtrooper, LePew, Fungi Q Preamble: BIg Bird was engaged in a weekly fitness challenge with another PAX member and with a couple hours left in the day needs a 45+ minute workout to win. The beauty about F3 is when one pax member needs something, other pax jump in to support andContinue reading “Black ops 2/4/21 Backblast Destin BlackOps”

HIMS are killing it all over the city as we start 2021. So many PAX just busting it and doing really cool stuff. I hadn’t Q’d the hourlong workout at the NEST in a long while, but felt I had to bring it. Hopefully I succeeded. Weather – Cold but clear (along with a beautifulContinue reading “Backblast 1/20/21 The Nest @ The County (err..Boondocks West) – Fungi Q”

It’s been a crazy week at work so I’m looking forward to getting out to The Nest for a change. It’s gonna be cold so we’ll be moving the whole time. We’ll pretty much run back my Q from yesterday with a few wrinkles and a bit more running to fill the extra 15 minutes.Continue reading “PreBlast – 1/30/21 The NEST at The County – Fungi Q”

It amazes me that 1) I’ve been doing this 2.5 yrs and 2) that I still don’t sleep great the night before a Q. I pretty much knew what I wanted to do, but knew the weather could throw a wrinkle into it…it did..kind of. I showed up and the parking lot was chunky ice.Continue reading “BackBlast 1/28/21 The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – Fungi Q”

In talking to BigBird at church on Sunday, he mentioned he hadn’t been to the gloom in about 2 weeks due to a bum knee.  I asked if a upper body/ab workout would do and he immediately gave the HC so we booked it. Pax – Big Bird, Abacus, Mama’s Boy, Viking, Cowboy, Fungi (Q)Continue reading “11/26/19 Backblast – BlackOps @ The Firehouse – Free the Bird”

Come out on Tuesday (not the normal Thursday) to The Firehouse for some upper body and ab work. No running. No burpees. No squats. #freebigbird    

We decided to combine the PWVFD and Agony workouts today so we’d have a big group to send a message to our guy Bulletin who was donating a kidney this morning. At 5:29 we gathered and made a “best wishes” video to send to him before he went into surgury. He promptly responded so weContinue reading “BackBlast – PWVFD BlackOps – Part 2 11/7/19 Fungi Q”

Several weeks ago a couple other Pax and I were talking about how to increase our 3rdF.  At the same time we were talking about the #verseoftheday channel on Slack.  The idea that came to the top was to post the  Proverb corresponding to each day of the month and see if any of theContinue reading “Daily Proverb and Commentary – Increasing 3rd F”

1 year ago this week, Pew Pew EH’d me in Nashville and here we are a year later.  I’ve heard people say it before, but being a part of this group is life changing.  I was honored to lead 15 pax (+2 runners) this morning.
