All “GUN” and no “RUN”

  • QIC: 1-Niner & CSPAN
  • When: 07/01/15
  • Pax: WWL, Skinner, Spitz, Bolt, Sweeper, 1-Niner, & CSPAN
  • Posted In: Run 'n Gun

Conditions were absolutely perfect and 84 degrees…nice and overcast…and I forgot my sunscreen again.

Notes from tonight’s RUN&GUN:

  • 1-Niner is extremely fit and lead the first half of the show #doubledownQ + it was really cool sharing the Q with #HIM
  • WWL still has excellent form especially in the “power skip” and “prancing rabbit”
  • This was Skinner’s second post…still unsure if he is enjoying this F3 nonsense…#no-puke
  • Sweeper is “jacked” for his VQ, 1-Niner and Helmet and trying to make it into a convergence…
  • Spitz is awesome and did not fall down, yet still really loves cats…#mightbeweird #alreadyhas6
  • Bolt was upset because we did not run…#nexttime
  • Had an interesting day at work…and getting sleepy…#stillpreferdayshift…might see me at MANU…excuse the ramble…

Moleskin:

Always an honor to see RUN&GUN “crew”, here is everything in my notes:

  • We made a new post workout stop at Truckers new house (perhaps name it “The Truck Stop”) M & 2.0 seemed to enjoy our nonsense #Malemodel #StrawberryNUTS? Apparently high quality beer was served…and be safe on your vacation brother Trucker
  •  Senator was there, always an honor to talk to #HIM when I don’t have to run with #HIM
  • Jekyll stopped by, and that guy is funny…
  • Decibel’s truck made a guest appearance…
  • #HIM = High Impact Man…still toughest place to be one is in your own home…especially when a bunch of sweaty dudes show up unannounced…
  • I forgot to mention $12 T-Shirts

“Operation Independence” – Gift Card Drive #HIM

Men,

As we approach Independence Day it reminds us of the struggles and sacrifices made to have freedom. Even once that freedom is achieved, the fight is not over and we must press on to preserve what was attained.

This life we live on earth is not easy and when you are behind the eight ball, it is even harder. Please read this message from Tinker Toy and the plan for assisting a young man, but mainly showing the example of a real man…..High Impact Man (HIM),

Hello friends!
We have a young man transitioning from foster care in York County to full time independence who is moving into his first apartment (we will protect his confidentiality by not providing his name).  We were hoping to collect some items to help him along in this journey.  This is a wonderful young man who works very hard and goes to college…he is striving to make very wise choices and seeking after the Lord.  Will you pray for our friend, for blessings, direction, and a heart sold out for the Lord.  Will you pray that God will provide abundantly for his needs and that he will know he is loved!
There are many household items that are being donated by church small groups and our orphan ministry at our church already.  Being on a tight budget, what he would need most from our F3 family is gift cards to/for:
 
Wal-mart 
Gas 
Groceries
 
Gift card can be brought to any workout and given to Cake Boss, Tinker Toy, Padre, or Mailman. My wife and I will distribute the gift card to this young man as he needs them so he can start to learn how to budget. We don’t want to give everything at one time to avoid the temptation of spending where he doesn’t need to. He has never been taught the basics of adulthood so we want to make sure we help him learn how to best budget his finances now that he is on his own.
Thank you for your hearts and generosity for this young man.  A life without a family entering into adulthood can be very scary and overwhelming, so we are asking that the body of Christ overwhelm him with God’s love and bless him with a little of what we have been so richly blessed with ourselves as a demonstration of His love. 
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ (‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭40‬ ESV)

In His Hands,


Sean Baxter (Tinker Toy)
So men, starting today through July 4th we will collect these gift cards and get them to the following PAX – Cake Boss, Tinker Toy, Padre, or Mailman.
Whatever monetary value to can do, no amount is too small as this young man has nothing but his future ahead.
Any questions, please reach out to myself or Tinker Toy.
AYE!

Hey soccer mom “don’t judge us”

  • QIC: CSPAN
  • When: 05/13/15
  • Pax: Maximus, Flat Tire, Package, & Crab Cakes
  • Posted In: Run 'n Gun

5 strong men enjoyed a perfect spring afternoon for an F3 workout (Recess for Men)

Here are the details:

  • Crab Cakes took a tumble on the trail run portion – heal up brother
  • Flat Tire showed us his rope swing abilities, obviously that was entertaining to watch, both rope and tree were stronger than they looked…
  • Package gave us a full evaluation on the correct form of wind mills and several other exercises. He also never seemed to sweat…and he also smelled excellent during our people’s chair portion #brute? #datenight
  • Maximus is still waiting for the exercise portion or running portion of the workout to begin (sorry brother, I’ll give you a better Q soon… aka Saturday at Patriot with Audit)

Moleskin:

Great AO and such an awesome group of men, epic #mubblechatter throughout, we got about 3 miles in and 7 pain stations.

If you have not tried working out in the evenings it is definitely a different experience

So I had the Q at #F3TheCoop with Chaser in the morning (who by the way we saw along our route, he dresses up well #lawyerswearnicesuits) and the with Q at #run&gunF3…and had to take Thursday off…not ready for #BRR…excuse the “ramble” here as I am more tired than I look…Thursday I missed Fun House and two larger-than-life VQ in Catfish & General…all = #HIM

So in summary, on several occasions #baxtersoccermoms “applauded” our efforts, the only one that got weird was the lady that while we were doing flutter kicks drove up and proceeded to “hoot at us” while we were in cadence…#weird #notameatmarket #notinterested #inappropriate #don’tlookupmyshortslady

+ I managed to keep us in the shade during almost the entire workout #failedtowearsunscreen

Great time and appreciate Flat Tire’s leadership at this AO and all the fellowship last night,

Be a better man today than you were yesterday,

AYE!

Run N Gun BB One!

  • QIC: Flat Tire
  • When: 10/29/2014
  • Pax: Knuckles, Menthol, Flat Tire, Off Set, Rooney, Jeckyl, and Maximus
  • Posted In: Run 'n Gun

7 Pax joined for a final Run N Gun prior to the time change.  It has been good to see the addition to several faces each week.  We hope the Wed evening event will bring a large group after time.  Don’t forget, there is also the option of a beverage or two afterwards.

As the time changes and the weather starts to deteriorate, we will shift from the Trail Run to a Baxter street tour with stops at parks and scenic overlooks for the Pain Station.  Come join in the fun.

Mosey to Allison Park:

Flat Tire worked us through some SSHs, Squats, Merkins, Carolina DryDocks, etc.

Mosey to Derrick’s Crossing Park:

Menthol on Q for some Russian Twists, Protractors, Freddie Mercuries and the crowd pleaser, the SSH.

Mosey to un-named hill in the woods somewhere in the power lines, I think:

Two trips up with 10 Burpees at the top.  Cautious trip down in the fading light and a group sprint to the top.  We then paid a visit to the Baxter Skeleton family to introduce the Tega Cay boys to them.

Mosey to corner of Springmaid & 1st Baxter:

Flat Tire, Maximus and Jeckyl worked through a number of exercises that requited many post COP bomb jacks.

Sprint your best back to the Y for COT:

After the first 5 to 6 weeks of Run N Gun, I think it is safe to say that all Pax will enjoy if they venture out for the event.  Even without trails for the next few months, there are a number of parks and great places to pull up in COP.

Remember Cable Guy’s on the IR, a Run N Gun regular and genius behind the name.  May you have a quick and smart recovery.  Don’t do too much too soon.
