Tag: The Pub (Page 13 of 19)

9 men showed for the last day of Pubruary to put in some miles.  We ran the route to Snoballs and back.  I like this down and back run, because it gives the pax an option to choose the  distance up to 5 miles.  Good work men!

Announcements: Rooster 3/2, Convergence 3/30 at Folsom 7:00, Mt. Mitchell hike 5/5

Prayer Request

Thanks for the opportunity to lead today!

Sister Act

It was colder than expected at the PUB but 8 brave PAX showed anyway to warm their hearts with some personalized Valentine’s Day weinke’s that showed two different routes to run.  #haveityourway

Broke was scaring the P200 runners with various distance increases since the route was being changed.  Yikes!

Six chose the classic Pub route and two headed towards Martha Rivers and turned around and came back.

The Pub route has lots of elevation changes and it seemed to be a hit with some.  Monk led the way, followed by Broke and Sister Act.  Stroganoff, JJ, and YHC weren’t too far behind.

Breaker Breaker and Anthrax rocked out towards Martha’s House and returned a little staggered because Anthrax  went a little further on the route.

Finished with the Pledge of Allegiance

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

You will run 5

Or the Sad Clown will get you.

Happy Valentines Day from the PUB!

Closed it out with a reminder to go get something for your spouse….

Announcements:  Sign up for the 50 Mile Relay CSAUP.

I gotta do more Q’s at running AO’s, these backblasts are easy to write.

We ran, we pledged, we prayed, we gone!

Sign up for the CSAUP on Feb. 23rd!

Be praying for Tophat and his family, those PAX headed to NOLA, Pizza Man’s M, those battling the flu and the Charlotte PD as they deal with a lot of recent losses.

Until next time,

Broke

Pub Crawl at HIPAAPALOOZA on Day 5. Anthrax and Bono performed and didn’t disappoint. Some could hear it 5 miles away and some at shorter distances. It was so loud we didn’t hear the Diablo Sammich PAX yelling at us from across the parking lot of Harris Teeter. Too bad they didn’t join us for the festival. Probably wish they had instead of sitting in a circle reading Shakespeare.

Today’s Groupies (To be a groupie you need to have posted 2 or more time during HIPAAPALOOZA):

YHC took us out

Defib asked me during my run if I was going to keep running on regular. You’re damn right and why?? Because #DFQ & #ABT

AYE!

The 3rd core principle of F3 is “Our workouts are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold”. The key in that phrase is rain. Lately, it seems like it has been raining every Thursday. This is not a complaint, just an observation. YHC will take a little rain over blazing heat any day.

YHC rolled in just before 0530 to find several HIMs that overcame the fartsack on this rainy, yet mild morning.

0530 so let’s get going.

The Pledge.

No FNGs so very brief disclaimer. Instructions on the route. Run towards Snoballs. Go half as far as you want to go, then turn around and run back. If you see any Diablo Sammiches, give them a friendly wave and keep going.

At one point in the run, we got a honk from a passerby. Saw later on twitter that it was Cheesehead. Aye!

Everyone returned back to The Pub.

Prayer Requests
Tool Time and the team headed to Chimbote
Diva and M and their new 2.0
Whetstone stones and blades

Close in prayer

As always, thanks to the PAX for coming out. Great group of HIMs. Until next time.

Warm-up:

NONE

The Thang:
11 men went out for some fellowship and a mosey all did 5, got out of the fartsack, and made each other better. Whoopee was the best co Q I’ve ever worked with he didn’t argue once!

Tool Time

YHC woke up to the sound of the alarm on my phone going off. Once I figured out who and where I was, I could tell that the rain was falling pretty loudly outside. By the time I was ready to head out, the sound of rain falling had stopped so YHC hoped that the PAX would dodge the rain this morning as we moseyed from The Pub on this third day of this new year. We would not be so lucky.

YHC arrived at The Pub with a few minutes to spare and did the customary dash to get the shovel flag in place. A few PAX were there and ready to go while a few more filed in before 0530. After a brief discussion on the route, we settled on running down Hoffman/Robinwood to Martha Rivers/Pelican’s/Snoballs/Dark Knight and back.

Good work this morning men. Until next time…

Showed up to the Pub to Gastone, Tool Time, and Dfib putting in work with some EC.  The story of the workout is we ran 5 miles. Good work by all.

Pledge

Annoucements:  Check Slack and Social media to get update on changes to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day workouts.

I took us out in prayer. Merry Christmas!

It was 25 degrees at the PUB this morning,  F3 Gastonia’s premier weekday at 0530 Thursday morning running workout leaving from Publix.  YHC was fortunate to be on the Pub’s Christmas Card this year and all I had to do was Q the workout and write this marginal piece of journalism.

At 0529 there were  six of us ready to go and then here comes JJ.  As JJ sets up the American Flag Anthrax rolls in hot.  A very brief disclaimer began with me claiming that I am an idiot and there was agreement all around.  My people!

We started with the Pledge of Allegiance and then were off on the run.  Stroganoff and Breaker Breaker ran towards HT while the rest of us ran  5 miles down  Gaston Day School Road to S. New Hope and then into Gardner park and back up.

Defib was far and away out front today and most didn’t see him after he jetted out of the Hickory Tavern parking lot.  Yes it was dark but he was just that fast.  Anthrax and JJ were the second to last and announced that they got tired of slowing down to run with Tool Time and just ran ahead of him.   At the end of the run as we waited and waited for the six the sweat began to turn into ice on our foreheads and the chill was setting in.   Tool Time must have been really slow today as we never saw him come in.  We were all waiting and waiting and hypothermia was setting in so we went back to our warm cars and left.

It was an honor to lead today.  The PUB is yet another AO that is full of great guys and fellowship.  Aren’t they all?

Prayers for families and friends struggling with loss.

We reflected on the life of George Bush (41) and what a great hero, public servant, and humble and classy leader he was.   We could all try to be more like that.

Enjoy the Christmas Card!
