10 HIM’s of the Badlands assembled on a breezy and cool April morning to sharpen iron, enjoy some Broga and Fellowship. As the appointed hour drew near YHC was particularly glad to see that 9 other PAX were as excited as me to post this morning. Today was about mindfulness…mindful thinking, mindful actions and mindful […]
Eleven PAX were NOT scared of “melting” and arrived at Badland’s ready to accept the Q’s challenge of “not being THAT GUY!” (THAT GUY who fartsacks, later reads the Backblast and Slack comments and wishes he had went to F3!) Unfortunately, there were several THAT GUYS on this wet Monday morning. Although the forecast indicated […]
After many a night of Spartan obstacle nightmares and lost sleep due to the anxiety of climbing up a darn rope, YHC decided (albeit late in the process) to help himself and everyone with the obstacles in their life. Warm Up PAX was requested to YELL “Halt” at the end of each warm up exercise […]
This week was an eye opening one for YHC and other brothers who are doing the Spartan Race. We train hard but we don’t spend enough time in recovery. Many PAX are nursing shoulder, back and hamstring injuries including YHC. Sometimes YHC needs to throw the pride and expectations out the window to realize what […]
Kessel Run Six PAX awoke after a cold front moved in for a chilly Monday morning mosey. As my VQ I wanted to log some miles for Kessel and what better way than to get better fighting a 15mph wind and elevation! The Klydes (Snuffy, Dr Okie, Flounder) pushed through the wind for tour of […]
Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program. 3 days into a planned 6 day moon mission, an oxygen tank exploded, prompting Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks in the movie) to utter the famous words, “Houston, we have a problem” … Today marks the 48 th year after their safe, […]
After a quickly moving storm blew through yesterday the morning air was crisp with a slightly noticeable breeze. Your Q in charge got to the AO early to determine if our construction site would be suitable for the planned beatdown. Yes, indeed it would be a beautiful morning for what Osteen would refer to as […]
A lucky 13 PAX came out of the gloom and inhabited Memorial Park for a memorable, dare we say beatific beatdown on a warm early AM. Just as life runs in circles, so did the PAX circle and swirl (and sweat) around the ever-handy and -inspiring F3Jax Shovel Flag, defiantly planted in the center of […]
YHC knew he had an upcoming Q, but had not thought about what exactly he was going to have the PAX do on this fateful gloom. Then at Anthill, Xenu mentions that YHC tends to add some sort of lesson to his Q’s, which reminded him hearing about Sunday being the anniversary of when Hank […]
YHC arrived in the Badlands, set the browser to accept all cookies and 14 PAX rolled in to see just how the cookies would crumble. Explanation… YHC is usually precise in his planning and preparation, however, today YHC took a different approach to the beatdown. YHC asks himself, why not let fate guide us??? Was […]
