When: 31 March 18- QIC: Beta
- The PAX: Camo, Hundo, Skipper, Choo Choo, Neutron, Carburetor, Knob Creek, Tomahawk (kotter), Tater, Headlock, KFC, Eastbound (FNG- Kenny Powers), Elvis (FNG- Rick Vargas), Cage (FNG- Francisco Vargas)
Guest Q time for YHC, considered labeling both Neutron and YHC as DR. In reality, it not that far boys, go explore.
Knob Creek arrived right at 0700 and proceeded to sweat out his namesake for the next 60minutes. Something about heating the pool and drinking. Choo Choo, I saw you sneak in the back at 0701
Condition
Camo labeled it California weather, though I think that’s fake news as Camo surely has not stepped foot in the people’s republic. 60 degrees and rising through the workout, clear skies, full moon.
Disclaimer
YHC is not a professional. F3 workouts are voluntary and FREE – you are here voluntarily #YouAgainstYou. Modify as needed. Notify the Q or rest of Pax of any serious medical conditions #PushYourselfButDontHurtYourself. Q has phone, Knob Creek has the six. and Camo has Knob Creek.

YHC might have been aggressive with the mosey back, but Carburetor, Elvis, Cage, and Headlock(?) ran ahead for extra credit with the tire, while the rest of the PAX split the run with some nice slow Abe Vigodas.

- 10 count scorpion (knee to Butt in one legged dog, then open hips)
- 10 count pigeon (leg perpendicular to body on the ground, then lean forward)
- Flapjack for other side.
CountORama and NameORama
Excellent PAX of 15 with 3 FNGs Eastbound’s name origin is obvious, but we did hear more from him- newlywed, trying to keep in shape for the M, from El Salvador. The Vargas brothers brought it, both dads, Cage is a “Family man”, and Elvis loves the USA and Rock and Roll!
COT
TAPs of thanks for Ava’s continued recovery, cast is off, starting the physical therapy. Prayers for Hundos dad and his battle with depression, and Hundos brother who ships off to serve our country next month. Keeping Jessica, the boys, and Cruiser in our prayers as they adapt to life without big wheel. TAPs for YHC’s daughter Molly.
NakedManMoleskin
YHC found meaning in Camos invite to guest Q. His reaching out to me is a great example of iron sharpening iron. I’ve been needing to get out of my routine and this was a perfect way to do it. We all have “things we’ve been meaning to get to” and sometimes it takes a brother to ask “why haven’t you done that yet?” It’s as hard to be the brother who asks that question as it is to be the brother who needs the kick in the ass. The other inspiration for me this morning was Hundo bringing up his dads depression. I shared with the group my experience with depression and the challenge for men, specifically, to name the problem and get help. The support of the brotherhood through fellowship and exercise, as well as proper treatment can get you there. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about what this disease looks like.
