Given it was Doodles and Hacksaw, there was moseying done.
Good Work.
Tag: Prison Break (Page 8 of 9)
MDub not feeling well so he asked someone to take the Prison Break Q (not Crossroads, Q Fail) so as I arrived I announced I would take it. It is a pretty cold morning around 30 degrees. I have seen Sparky, Dr. Seuss and Sister Act running pretty fast near the Courthouse on my way in. I heard Volt and Kingpin are already out there. We have 2 FNG’s invited by Sparky and here he comes back to ruck with them. Seuss and SA keep going their usual fast pace toward the college. Broke started slow and then passed everybody before we got to the college. Must’ve had a lot of caffeine. Slaw tries to chase Broke. Me, Blart and Montross try to chase Slaw. We see Oompa already running at the college. The FNG’s are rucking with Big Pappy, Wichita and Sparky. Several did EC, Some ran 5. Some ran less than 5. Some rucked. Some walked. Initial count was 19 but a recount revealed a total of 18 for Prison Break! That has to be close to a record! Nice work guys! FNG’s: Brent Green is named LB (short for Luke Bryan I believe). Jonathon Bates is named Callahan from his work in Auto Parts (Tommy Boy movie reference, I saw that one).
Medicine Woman wasn’t feeling well so I hijacked the Q for the premier Dallas Wednesday running AO. Arriving a few minutes before 5:30 am and Sparky and Seuss were on their way towards uptown Dallas. Me, Broke and Oompa took off toward the college where we saw Hacksaw going towards Folsom. We crossed paths with Roundup and then Doodles. Tater Hole was rolling through the college somewhere. Broke, as he is famous for, pulled me to my fastest pace in a while. I almost didn’t show but I am always glad when I do.
Announcements: Bring toys for Boys and Girls Club to all Saturday AO’s this week, Convergence at Gashouse (Schiele Museum) on Dec. 28th at 7 am, After-Christmas F3 Gastonia Party at Lewis Farms on January 4th.
Remember Broke’s M, Tiger’s Dad, Dry Rub’s M, Freight’s grandfather and family.
COT: Doodles took us out!
It’s not unusual to see PAX getting in some EC before a workout, but it was unusual to see so many of them doing it today. Not sure how many miles everyone put in, but there were quite a few that definitely logged more than 5. With all the races coming up and cooler weather ahead, take advantage of this mid-week running AO to get yourself ready.

Bathrooms coming soon to the Pavilion!
The Rotary Centennial Pavilion has been home to the F3 Downtown workout since July of 2015, a few short months after the F3 Gastonia launch. E4 was the original site Q before he handed it off to the elusive Spiderman who then turned over the reins to Bedpan. By my calculations, F3 has posted over 200 Friday workouts at the Pavilion besides running through the site during our three 50 mile relays.
The big cheese, Sargento, happens to be the Nantan of the Gastonia Rotary Club this year. Both Gastonia Rotary Clubs are raising money to install public bathrooms at the Pavilion soon. Bathrooms would be a great thing for downtown as well as for any F3 PAX who routinely run late to the workout due to those “emergencies”. (you know who you are)
To raise money for the bathrooms, the Gastonia Rotary Club is hosting a Chili Cook Off on November 2nd of this year. I am aware that you should probably have bathrooms installed before eating chili but I am not in charge. There are four levels of sponsorships, with $1000.00 being the “Four Alarm” sponsor. I propose giving back to the Pavilion and raising money for this cause. F3 Gastonia can assist in raising money for the bathrooms and if we meet our goal sooner rather than later we will be recognized in all advertisements and social media, leading to more exposure for F3 and hopefully draw in some FNG’s.
I am calling on all site Q’s to collect donations from PAX throughout the month of September until we reach our goal of $1000.00. PAX may contribute cash or checks (made payable to the Rotary Club of Gastonia). The good news is Diablo Sammich has already said they were going to raise $100, and that was immediately countered with a $150 pledge from the PUB. The Coconut Horse then said they would raise $151.
The purpose will be to raise awareness of F3Gastonia and support the community through adding an amenity to the premier Friday AO in our region.
This initiative is “Nantan approved” as well as “Site Q approved”. If each PAX that posts contributes something we should reach our goal in short order. F3 is free so there is no obligation to give but Site Q’s please take up the collections and let’s hit this goal and put F3Gastonia on more men’s radars in our region.
Aye!
I did not show this morning at PrisonBreak, I was the Q! I’m truly sorry men! 3 men put in some miles!
6 men at Prison Break. 5 ran, jogged or moseyed and Big Pappy put in almost 5 miles rucking. Great job.
