TIME

Moleskin:

– YHC had to come up with some workout that wouldn’t put a strain on his calf that was injured while conquering the MudRun. Introducing “MerkinFest 2015”. Total Merkins ~ 345
– Positive feedback on the deconstructed burpee. Thanks to F3nation (Mongoose in Winston Salem) for the idea. It will be put in the rotation of truly aweful but awesome exercises for #F3RebelYell.
– Iron Horse came up with the Merkin Ladder – that might not enter the usual rotation until YHC gets stronger #hardas$#&t
– Not a lot of mumblechatter – all of us had our noses to the grindstone OR YHC was just trying to stay in his happy place.
– Good to see Prohibition out at RY – one more post and he’s added to the Q schedule (EH)
– Frack was in his wheelhouse today. He has merkins for breakfast.
– Truly great group of guys – YHC has really grown attached to the site and the brothers that frequent #blessed. Thanks to God, F3nation, and You for blessing me with the opportunity to lead.

Announcements:
– F3 Golf – there is a ton of swag available and why not hack up a nice golf course for free stuff and the opportunity to give back to F3F.
– Quarry Run this weekend – just in case running up a 13 degree grade tickles your fancy.
– Night ops half marathon at the Whitewater Center – for those who like to run…13 miles…in the woods…at night.
