So I turn 40 tomorrow and I can’t think of a better way to usher in the 5th decade of my life than to meet up in the gloom with my F3 brothers at 0530.

  Threw out the idea of a Sunday workout and 6 other HIM jumped all over it, like white on rice.  So, I guess you can say this f3 thing is getting pretty serious.  Seriously this PAX is getting stronger, this was supposed to be tough.  Not for the PAX that get to the gloomContinueContinue reading “3/25 BlackOps Veterans Park #Agility Training with Kilo”

Snow and rain will clear out tonight making it a nice morning to run. 8 AM Sunday if you want to log some training miles.

As many of the PAX have already done, I had the pleasure to visit Kilo’s sister’s second grade class to read a book or two, and to share any ounce of wisdom I could muster. I thought it would be fun to share my F3 name…. Me: Hey, I’m Star Child. (I drew a ⭐️ContinueContinue reading “Star Child’s 3nd F Day at Sanders Elementary”

Miles only miles, no PT.  If you’re feeling like a 4 mile ruck in an hour then you should come to posh at 0515.  Meet at regular posh spot.   SYITG

I was inspired by yesterday’s snowy post at the VET, so my pre-blast was more of a “call to arms” than a description of what might happen in the gloom.  I must say the bell was answered and 20 HIM’s showed up for my 100th post.  I am honored to have led them in thisContinueContinue reading “B-Blast. Temple of Gloom at the”O” 3/22/18. The bell was answered!!”

Before 5:10am this morning, I have never seen Martha Lane Collins School in my life. But last week Glauc asked for help, so I offered to come out there and Q. Before realizing 1) I would have to have a blind Q, and 2) it followed my other Q yesterday. Thanks to Kilo’s “Ghost QContinueContinue reading “Star Child’s Blind Q at MLC”

We should all knock with our elbows more often. More on that later. My M was in Chicago Tuesday morning, and I was fortunately able to suppress my F3 brain and Thus skip the Rooster. 🤨 But that made me “hangry”. That’s probably not the right word. I’ll check with the F3 lexicon later… Let’sContinueContinue reading “@F3theMutt BackBlast- Let’s count…7 inches, 800 threads, Creepy Fiiiiiiiives, and 10 HIMs 3/21/18”

As I near the end of my quest to qualify for my Iron Horse patch, I realized I was one short for the required number of Qs, and the calendar was already full of Pax dying to lead future beatdowns.  Being the HIM that he is, Wham-O has graciously allowed me to join him tomorrowContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Wham-O/Geppetto Co-Q @The Mutt #Extender 3/22/17”

One of the first F3 workouts that I attended was Tool Time’s Kilo Challenge.  As I was thinking of what I was going to do for my Q at the O, this Challenge came to mind.  Now it was named Kilo Challenge for a couple of different reasons.   We will just claim that it isContinueContinue reading “03/20/2018 BackBlast PK’s Millennium Mile”

Todays weather is horrible, and it’s only going to get sloppier. Forecast for Saturday is 41° with 100% chance of rain. Reluctantly we will have to attempt F3Dads another day. And it’s Mayberry’s mission to hold an F3Dads event monthly throughout the summer, so hopefully we will have ample opportunities. Stay tuned!

I am pretty sure every bear woke up yesterday from hibernation, looked at the snow, and pressed snooze. F3 didn’t. We painted the town this gloom in footprints and iced it down in sweat. We kicked today’s ass already. I am humbled by the unstoppable spirit of all the PAX around town, and love readingContinueContinue reading “Star Child’s BB- sNOw Day”

YHC threw out a feeler to see who wanted yet another preruck before Zoolander’s Blender Beatdown. Got a few LCs and hit the fartsack last night early. At 0425 the text thread machine fired up and YHC learned I would be Rucking with F3Louisville Royalty. Non other than GlenRoss(Blender Site Q and NC mastermind) andContinueContinue reading “3.21.18 BO Ruck BB: Try on this slushie”
