F3 Dads at Martha’s House Pre-Blast

UPDATE…

Update:  So the temperatures should be in the high 40’s so make sure you bring an extra sweatshirt for your 2.0’s and M’s for after the workout.  The planning committee has also updated the menu for the after workout replenishment since only the truly hardcore PAX will eat ice cream when it is cold outside.  (If you still want to bring it, I will help eat it)

Here is what is being provided thus far….

Guts and I are providing the hot water for a hot chocolate bar.  I am also bringing some green tea for your hauty tauty types that drink with your pinky raised (you know who you are).  I am bringing about 30 coffee cups, spoons, waters.

Hush Puppy is bringing the charcoal for a smores bar.  If you want smores, bring the requisite ingredients.

What is still needed?  We need cookies, waters, hot chocolate packets, smores, granola bars, and anything else you want to eat and share with the PAX.

What else do I need?  I need a few 1st F Q’s to help lead the workout.  YHC torqued his Achilles running with Rob Jones in Charlotte Thursday.  When something hurts when you are running with Rob Jones, you keep running.  It is just the way it is.

So….be prepared to help Q the workout Mary style and remember who the audience is.  Whoopy reminded me the last time we did F3 Dads I may have been a little too “default aggressive” in pushing the young PAX.  We will be better this time!  See you tomorrow!

Without reading the rest of the original post, here is the most relevant information cut and pasted for your simplicity.

Bring volleyballs, frisbees, footballs, soccer balls, boomerangs,  but no My Little Ponies, or Teletubbies.  There is no power at the shelter so someone bring an old school boombox so we can jam out.

If someone wants to prepare an age appropriate lesson or two along the way, let me know and we will make time for that too.

 

Gentlemen,

 

My six year old has been wanting to attend an F3 workout for the last few months and I can’t let him down.  So….back by popular demand, we return to Martha’s House for another rendition of F3 Dads.

Here is what you need to know.

Where:  Martha Rivers Park  I have picnic shelter #1 reserved from 1500-1900.  This is the one beside the sand volleyball  area and first one on your left as you enter the park.

When:  Next Sunday, November 12th.  The kid and family friendly beat down begins at 1430 hours.  To be clear, sons and daughters are welcome as well as spouses.  All ages, all inclusive, pets on a leash, etc.  Bring a friend….everyone gets a nickname.

What:  The workout will start at 1430 hours.  I will have a weinke but if anyone wants to Q some of the workout that is fine with me.  In fact, I am on call next weekend so please have some ideas in case YHC uses Q privilege and calls on you to lead.  This will  be a fun filled event for all ages.  The workout will end at 1515 for a COT and BOK.  (Ball of kids)

After the workout we will have an ice cream social.  All family members are welcome!

What to bring:  We need a few coolers with water.  We need bowls, spoons, ice cream, and ice.  I will bring some but we will need more.  Bring friends who need F3.

Bring volleyballs, frisbees, footballs, soccer balls, boomerangs,  but no My Little Ponies, or Teletubbies.  There is no power at the shelter so someone bring an old school boombox so we can jam out.

If someone wants to prepare an age appropriate lesson or two along the way, let me know and we will make time for that too.

Wear your F3 swag and represent and maybe we can EH some bystanders during the workout.

Remember that the next Sunday the 19th we will hike Kings to Crowders Mountain.  That pre-blast is yet to come so be on the lookout.

 

F3 Gastonia 50 mile relay dry run

Well this F3 Gastonia 50 mile relay has been in the works for sometime and with the Tuna 200 coming QIC figured it might be a good time for a dry run and to get some of the PAX to start training for it.  With that being said…we ran…took a break…ran some more…took another break…and ran a little more!!! Around 50 miles to be exact.   During the run we ran through or ran by all 10 AO’s in F3 Gastonia.  This was a good time with my F3 brothers…I think starting at 4am brought the best out of everyone.  I can’t really explain what these events are like but the reasoning behind this 50 miler is to give a relay race opportunity to everyone within F3 Gastonia and so that you wouldn’t have to be away from the family for a couple days.  Trust me when I say that this 50 mile relay will be no walk in the park but when you are with the HIMS in F3 Gastonia there are no words that can describe it.   This BB could go on for days with all the mummblechatter that went on, so I highly suggest that you start training NOW because you do not want to miss this event, IT WILL BE EPIC!!!  There will be more information about the event coming soon!!!

Special thanks to all the HIMS that made this dry run happen!!!  There is absolutely NO way this would have been possible without each of you!!!

Until next time Pizza Brah is OOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTT!!!  (Show to know)

One is the Loneliest Number

One showed in the gloom a The Pub.

I ran.

I saw a girl with a dog.

I saw two women walking.

I saw one dude running.

Upon returning to The Pub, a group of women runners had just arrived back there also.  I think they thought I was stalking them.

The end.

Aye.

Drinking at The Pub

Two in the Thursday gloom at The Pub.

We ran.

YHC absorbed the vast wisdom dealt out by Monk.  Post on a Thursday for a worthwhile lesson.

It was nice to lead a workout on my Dad’s 74th Birthday.  Happy Birthday big guy!!

Until the next one.

Aye!

The Pub Pool of Humid

3 cool people showed up to the Pub and we ran a little over 5 miles.

Outhouse ran a getting it back modified coarse. But, we all ended at the same time.

Great to see Outhouse back in the gloom.

Today was like running in a pool under water with concrete tied to our waste in humidity. But we did the run and that was better than all the fartsackers did.

August we are looking at a date for Mt. Mitchell up and down for the weekend of the 18th. Have picked which day. But, we would leave early get it done and come back.

Pray for our brother who lost his life running in SC. I did not know or I would have gone sleeveless for sure.

Gastone Out!

Pub Crawl but not the good kind

4 men crawled out of the fartsack this morning for another addition of the “The Pub”.

The Thang:

We ran 5 miles from Publix around to Gardner Park and back to Publix.

The Moleskin:

Good crowd of guys Whoopee was a little gassy. Him and Defib did a little doctor talk before we ran out. But, basically we ran and talked and then returned.

Prayers for Mr. Ownbey who is a friend of Stroganoff’s and I am a friend of his daughters. He has made his journey to the great kingdom.

Gastone Out!

SFN… HELP Kids, GROW F3 Nation ~ JRR Tolkien & Tool Time

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, F3 is Fun, for Me and You

It was still dark when YHC pulled into the parking lot at Publix. I secretly hoped no one would show so I could just go home.

Nope, here comes Gastone. That’s what I get for posting on Twitter the night before.

A little mumblechatter. No warm up. Let’s go.

We ran away and then ran back.

It was cool.

We finished with some classic arts & literature.

Thanks for the push Gastone

Until the next one. Aye!

Party of One

When Monk sent out a tweet yesterday asking for a Q for The Pub, I realized we could have a small crowd this morning.  However, I didn’t know how small the crowd would be until I showed up, and there was no one there yet.  I’d tell you that while I waited I did a warm up of 50 burpees, 100 flutter kicks, and 200 merkins.  You’d never know if I did or didn’t unless you got the security footage from Publix at which point you’d know that I didn’t in fact do any of that.  However, I did sit in my car and think through several options which included 1) going back home and going into work early, 2) going through the McDonald’s drive-thru for a biscuit and sweet tea, and 3) actually getting out in the 22 degree cold and running.  Since the P200 is next weekend and I need the work, I chose option 3.

Once the clock hit 5:33, I realized this party was going to be a solo journey so I took off, but not with a flash, more of a slow lumber.  Since I’m originally from Shelby and not from the big city of Gastonia, I give directions with landmarks and not road names.  I started on the road towards Panera past McDonald’s and through the stop light.  I went through the next stop light and took a right at the stop light at CVS.  I ran past Ashbrook High School and took a right at the stop light at the Rite Aid.  I ran down the hill and through that stop light.  I took the second entrance into the Publix shopping center next to McDonald’s.  My watch said that was 3.16 miles so we’ll put that down as fact.  It was an abbreviated run compared to normal but a run nonetheless.

Even though you guys weren’t there this morning to chase (I’m typically the Six at The Pub), just know that you were still pushing me to get better.
