- Pax: Abu, Cousin IT, Duff, Early Bird, Harry Potter, Mr. Belding (DOUBLE RESPECT), Slim Jim (DOUBLE RESPECT), String Bean, Strokes, Swanson
The time has come to Q at #TheCommons for YHC. When you haven’t Q’d at a workout you attend regularly, it’s time to ask (not be asked). Some ideas have come in mind that would allow PAX to push the pace and get mileage, yet keep the six close by. It was tough to miss Friday’s post, even more devastating to miss #BlackOps yesterday am. Some PAX feared posting today due to missing yesterday. Guess they stayed in bed, not an easy choice for YHC, but hopefully you got what you needed! String Bean pulled out in front of YHC on the way and we had a quick chat. He said he would allow me to beat him there, may be the only way YHC could beat him. Didn’t realize YHC beat his shirt, shoes and socks of him. It’s gonna be an awesome #BRR with this guy and the rest of the team! Put it out there to have guys post to better themselves for the #BRR and #TheSasquatch. Strokes pulled in just in time to join the other 9 PAX. It was time to feel the need…
Warm-up
Lunge to YHC’s truck and back. Lunge for the six (if you are fast or your form SUCKS).
Butt Kickers to Potter’s car and High Knees back (the PAX thought his car was gonna be the coupon for today). Squat for the six.
Caroike to Strokes truck and back.
The Thang
Hoping Bono would have post so YHC could have recognized him for his ingenious idea of the #SuperBlockChallenge.
Slim Jim was anointed the pacer for the first lap (YHC tried to emphasize keeping the same pace to him all three laps). Several PAX ran under an 8 minute mile if they took the challenge (the challenge was to break off from the pacer and go around a block). Somehow communication got broken down and the PAX stopped, YHC had to remind them to keep moving or take the challenge and go a block up (since they were about a block ahead).
Belding was the anointed pacer for the second lap. He was steady as he normally is.
Noticed Duff was toward the back of the pack and asked him if he wanted to be the pacer for the last lap. He quickly agreed, he has been MIA from #TheCommons (good to have him back). Told the PAX to come back for the six when they got to the starting point, somehow communication broke down and they were standing around like they were at a concert. On Sunday’s or any days YHC queues there is no standing around, keep moving…
The 3 laps were tough and took longer than YHC thought. Had to more ideas and a 3rd if time presented itself.
We moseyed back to the corner near Sup Dogs, performed Squats for the six. We then moseyed down 5th, left and Sprint (75 to 100%) down Cotanche, then mosey back to starting point, return for the six.
Once the six arrived directions were given to Sprint (75 to 100%) up the hill by Sup Dogs on Reade, then turn left and mosey down 4th toward Parking Garage, back for the six.
Once the six arrived directions were given to Sprint (75 to 100%) down Cotanche, then turn right and mosey down 5th, right onto Evans, turn in by the Hammocks (secret is gone, sorry guys).
Form 2 lines according to pace. Scout run up the Parking Deck, each new incline next guy sprints. Return for the six and head down the stairs. Communication breakdown as PAX stopped, no stopping till 0700!
Scout run in same teams toward the #ShovelFlag, return for the six. Make sure to announce CLEAR when crossing roads and echo it throughout.

BOM
Duff mentioned Hula’s mom with bone cancer.
Abu mentioned one of student’s sister’s that lost their baby upon delivery.
Strokes mentioned Stretch and his leadership previously at #TheCommons.
YHC closed us in prayer.
COT
Verified that all PAX are signed up for #TheSasquatch, only one was not and he will join us in some way by signing up on www.f3enc.com.
Harry Potter (#WestSideStory) and Circuit Rider (#FirstAid) both have their VQ’s on Friday. Harry Potter gave his speech – “Be There.”
Early Bird has the Q for #RunStrong. Stay tuned for #Coffeeteria afterwards. POST it’s the 4th of July, can’t get much more american then to be there and bring your flag!

Awesome time with the PAX! Humidity was high and so was the Tachometer! Super to see Swonson join us, he posted @ #TheRush for the first time on Thursday. Stay tuned for another Q soon from YHC @ #TheCommons or #RunStrong, got an idea that will be no easier than anything we did today! Thanks for posting and giving what you could, see you at the next Post!
