16 PAX showed at the Floater, some a little later than the others. Moneyball was running behind so he had to drop a Groupme post with the hopes of finding the PAX in the middle of Waxhaw. Damascus, Rubbermaid, Tupperware, and Shake N Bake were all there promptly at 5:30 though after a long pre-run for the event. Unfortunately, they didn’t realize the Q had more running in store for them.

I love the opportunity to lead a great group of guys through the streets of Waxhaw while dodging cars. It was fun to hear Fusebox ask if we are done, to which I answered, is the six in. He said he thought he was done. I believe it was Chicken Little who said that could not have done Jack Web’s before but they could now. Great to see each of of improve everyday. Like Iron Sharpens Iron, Men Sharpen Men. This was the title of a group bible study I used to do and it has always stuck with me that we can make each other better. Keep up the great fight as husbands, fathers, and leaders.

There is never a shortage of workouts and backblasts throughout the Union County Area. Today, I had the joy of hanging out with some of the PAX and families while we floated down the Catawba River. Now, you may think that the behaviors and personalities would change outside of a workout at 5:30 in the morning. However, there is never a shortage of jokes or fun strewn throughout an F2 even with my fellow F3 Brethren.

22 PAX showed up to Watchtower for BreadBowl’s VQ. The question was how much running or rolling can a Bread Bowl do in 45 minutes and was his actual F3 name Red Bull? This VQ was a special since Bread Bowl is 11 years old and has wanted to Q for the past month. In life, a true leader is someone who can turn around and see others following. Follow if you dare!

I thought the work out was going to be hard for the guys. I mainly surprised them with my running but I said get ready for a rude awakening. I think everybody was surprised how fast I did my curls. I like hearing the banter about Zinfandel thinking I would be kind to my fellow Clydesdale. Thank you for the opportunity to run Q for a great group of men as an 11 year old .Welcome Tony Passavanti- Wedding Singer and Don Hayes- Chicken Little to the Pax.

13 PAX showed up at the Watchtower to see who was on Q. I orginally swapped with the general due to a sick 2.0 and my back decided to give up at about 9:00 PM. Iced the back and took enough Ibuprofen to wake up and run the PAX for 2.6 miles. Life within the PAX is always an adventure. What I can say is that it is amazing to see the amount of fellowship show up whether it is to support someone hurt, Money Ball stepping forward with an adoption or Red Rider opening up about how it changed his life forever. Check out the link below if you ever questioned how adoption can change a life:

I was glad to survive the workout without crippling myself after having back issues the night before. I appreciate the willingness of MoneyBall to show up in case we had to substi-Q again.

12 PAX showed up at the Floater to celebrate the transition of the Site Q from Bottlecap to FuseBox. As always, you never know what will happen in the mumble chatter around the beginning of the workout. Today, everyone was curious whether I could recover from the serious counting infractions that occurred on Tuesday at Watchtower and whether Fusebox could actually find a piece of ground soft enough to plant the flag.

The workout was a lot of fun, although Fusebox has fun talking about 1/4 merkins, we made sure to anchor the back of the PAX for the Merkin quarter mile although we have seen is true pace at a recent Moneyball Q. Big Ten took off early as usual with a look of grimace on his face. I may have made the list today. It was awesome to see Fusebox stepping up as Site Q and Moneyball adding the towel Fusebox notoriously carries to the site flag. Great workout guys in a very humid environment.

15 PAX showed up at to Watchtower on a muggy Tuesday morning. There must an unexpected rush of cars arriving at 5:30 for a “Guess who is on Q? session. It was a race to determine who would actually run the workout given Beltway suffered a toilet/back injury remodeling the bathroom. It was 5:30 and off to the races with everyone wondering how I Q-jacked the Frack from the 1,000 merkin workout.

Everything in Cadence. Although Q school was supposed to teach a method, I am pretty sure it was lost on me today.
I am pretty sure this is how all the cadence looked until I simply went to count on your own through a poorly cadenced set of curls. Obviously need to spend more time a corporate training. At least the PAX had something to mumble chatter about through the fun.

15 PAX showed up at to Commitment on a warm Saturday Morning. The unsuspecting motley crew of F3 members was ready for a great workout. FuseBox brought a new FNG to the group. Although many are suspect of the FuseBox padding his stats by bringing a lot of one and done’s to the point there have been requests for his name to be changed to Calipari, the king of one and done. Welcome back Jenner. Welcome Stacey Jarvis aka: Southern Belle.

The fun and endurance of the PAX is always a great experience. The friendship, camaraderie, and willingness to push each other is impressive. The entire PAX was gassed by the bear crawl to push ups which made it a quiet run back to the COT. I appreciate everyone’s to put up to with amount of addition needed for the workout.

16 PAX showed up at Flash to cheer on the victory of Michigan over Florida State. At Commitment, Bottle Cap found joy in the fact that Kentucky made a quick exit on an easy path to the final four. However, the celebration was short as Michigan grasped the win from Florida St. In honor of ” The Victor”, we all showed up for a great workout. Given the Clydesdale leadership and my recent trip to Taiwan and Korea, there was a little less Flash and a little more Wolverine crawl.

I have never heard Goodfella complain about so many squats. I am glad the I found a workout that pushes him to the limit. Most suffered from the calf raises which continue to plague me today. I was saddened by the lack of Bottle Cap to share my Michigan shirt with along with why I root for Michigan. Longhorn was curious: My parents were devout Ohio State fans and as a kid, I would root for Michigan for fun.

15 PAX showed up at Watchtower just to see what kind of work out could happen after the infamous Dough Balls were published in the playhouse. Deflated believed they would be relatively small due to the early morning temperature. However, every workout helps us refine the dough and show what it means to truly lead and push ourselves.

Great workout everyone today. I love the humor and fun the PAX brings to every workout. Money Ball was still out sick from Tennessee’s loss to Kentucky. As iron sharpens iron, men sharpen men.
