A record-breaking 17 F3 soldiers survived a Full Metal Jacket-style #beatdown in the #gloom while paying their dues to #TheGeneral. The sight of 2 FNGs (#ABH) made YHC proud enough to offer up a multitude of suicides to deliver the pain. Every good soldier needs their #DRP of #downpainment.

- Welcome FNGs Frank Hogan (Southpaw) and Todd Reppert (T-Rex). #NoOneNightStands
- T’claps to proud papas The Bishop (T-Rex) and Leprechaun (Southpaw).
#BoM (Ball of Man)
- T’claps to Whiskey for taking us out. TAPs go out to Hookup and T-Rex ahead of Sunday’s Houston Marathon.
- The #3rdF pulpit is open to any PAX member. You are all #FreedToLead, and every leader needs to find his “voice” among other men. Offering TAPs is a great way to do that.
#NakedManMoleskin
- Military-grade suicides a la Full Metal Jacket today produced maximum amounts of sweat. #F3logosontheasphalt YHC designed this workout so you will remember him in 2 days #ItsSupposedToHurt but realized a few of the suicides may have been a bit aggressive – don’t worry, they’ll be back and we’ll be #stronger
- For those keeping score at home, we ran ~2.0 miles and burned ~500 calories #notbadforaweekday
- Our honorary 18th PAX posted again in the #gloom. Have to admire Mahjong for his consistency.
- Looking Ahead. A couple of workouts you don’t want to miss:
- Leprechaun’s Celebrity Beatdown v1.0 tomorrow at #TheHogg
- #DoubleDown this Saturday. #Downpainment will begin at 0600, followed by your normal #DRP at 0700. For those of you looking to get #Stronger (#NotABoyNotYetAMan), there is no better way than to #DoubleDown. #HitMeBabyOneMoreTime.
- Remember to put the EH on some FNGs for the Saturday workout. We need some more #homegrown F3 Houston PAX #ABH
- Twitter. YHC highly encourages the PAX to get on Twitter. It’s not a scary as it sounds (if the old guys can do it, so can you!), and it’s a great source of real-time updates, #MumbleChatter from the PAX and pics of men in blue spandex #NeverTakeEmOff. Suggested Twitter handle: @F3[F3name]. #CommunicationIsKey
- Backblast Comments. You’re likely reading this on F3Nation.com. YHC highly recommends getting a login ID and password, so you can comment and post for all of F3 Houston to see. #CommunicationIsKey #MumbleChatter
- F3 Apparel. T’claps to the PAX who are already sporting their own F3 logo gear. For the rest of you, place your orders! YHC is working on a #BadAss design for The General – coming at you very soon (finalizing design this week #skulls #blackjack). The Official Gear Store of F3 Nation is Mud Gear (www.f3.mudgear.com).

- When: Sunday, May 21, 2017

- A number of F3 Houston PAX have already registered. #jointhefun
- @F3_250. What the heck is this?!? Well, it is a challenge to the PAX to make a personal commitment to working out 250 times in 2017. F3 workouts count, as well as any 30+ minutes exercise sessioin you complete (yes, even with your M if you can last that long!?!). T’claps to Duggar who completed the #F3twofiddy challenge for 2016. Britney, The Bishop, Duggar, Inferno and others are all Hard Commits #HC for 2017. Time for YOU to step up for your own @F3_250 #accountability
#LexiconOlogy
- GINGER KING: A particularly Zealous red-haired PAX (aka Leprechaun).
- The F3 Lexicon provides the PAX with a language that uniquely conveys and captures much of what we do and believe in F3. It seems trivial, but the Lexicon helps connect us and enriches our fellowship. Take some time to check it out. (http://www.f3nation.com/lexicon/)
Thanks for allowing me to bring the pain
Britney
