Buckeye lost his VQ card

After much persuasion and foreplay from Thin Mint and Bucky, my VQ card was taken at Bagpipe this morning in the presence of 16 other men.  I was a little nervous at first, but it in the end it was pretty painless.  Thanks for being gentle.

THE THANG

We had a light mosey down to the pond and got right to it.  Today’s workout was my rendition of the Murph.  PAX split into multiple groups near the pull-up bars and completed the following exercises:

1. 2 sets of-

  • 10 pull-ups
  • 25 merkins
  • 25 squats

2. 1 lap around the pond

3. Repeat 4 more times

Those who completed all 5 rounds got in 100 pull-ups, 250 merkins, 250 squats, and approximately 3 miles.  Not a bad start to a Tuesday.

Thanks, men, for hanging with me this morning.

PREBLAST: SOB’s SPEEDFORNEED Isabella Santos 5K/10k

SPEEDFORNEED!!!! SOB/Area 51/ Union County

Finally, F3 Nation’s South Charlotte Region (Area51 / SOB / Indian Land / Union County) inaugural SPEED FOR NEED race is just a few days away.  First of all, thank you so much for your support for the SFN initiative whether through your donations, encouragement, retweets, manpower, or ideas.  Saturday is our big day… over 60 signed up and a few more there in support! You will experience firsthand what we brothers have created together in SFN to celebrate our Track Commanders, bring joy their families, encourage our community, and share what F3 Nation is in all three of the F’s we proudly display on our chest.  It should be a great day!

 

Please review the schedule of events below so that the morning runs smoothly… the time will go fast (especially once Frasier starts pushing)! Make sure to be at the tent at 7:45am sharp for a group photo, and expect us to be let off early right before 8:00. Don’t forget to sign the poster board under the canopy with your F3 name (if your M or 2.0s want to sign, that’s great!).  SFN shirts will also be sold for $20 at the canopy if you would like to wear one (kids and adult sizes).  Our canopy will be at the end of sponsor row, closest to the starting line. Finally, if anyone gives us an inquisitive look, give them a business card with F3 on one side and SFN on the other #EH.

 

We’re really looking forward to the event, and be sure to encourage our riders and their families while you are there.
