I don’t really feel like being cute in the Ol’ Backblast today. Our brother @Cheech in F3 Lexington SC passed away from injures sustained from being hit by a car while running. Here is a link to a news story about the accident.
Guys, this could have been any one of us and we’ve got to be ever vigilant when it comes to being out there in the wee hours of the Gloom.
- Run with a partner. If the person you run with doesn’t match your pace, work with them until they do.
- Wear reflective gear. I realize that @Cheech was decked out in safety equipment and I also know several guys who don’t wear it on a regular basis (YHC included)
- Be mindful of your surroundings and stay on the side walks
- Never cross in front of a car stopped at Stop Sign and make eye contact with the driver at Stop Lights
- Buy a RoadID and wear it. Make sure it includes all of your important medical information as well as emergency contacts. Its probably best if one of your contacts isn’t your regular running buddy
- Make sure your M knows when you are leaving, where you are going (the general area will be fine), and when you are expected home. Tell her that if the phone rings to answer it.
- Bring your phone. Get fashion tips on cute #FannyPacks from @BBQ
- Don’t run with Head phones. You can go 45 min without listening to Lady Gaga
Be grateful for this day. It can all be taken away in a matter of minutes. Please continue to pray for @Cheech’s family and for all of the members of F3 Lexington.
Keep pushing,
Solo Cup

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. A few observations from this morning:
@Bull almost got 2 full laps of TheLindy (I was/am pretty sure that was/is impossible)
@Creep looked strong at his second post (better than @Burvegas.) Keep pushing dude.
Most folks modified the exercises (it shows they listened to my awesome rendition of the disclaimer) #HalfAssMountainClimbers
Most of you boys still can’t count. #DefinatelyNotAppStateGrads
This one is definitely too tough for @BanjoBoy
Until next time…
Strong work PAX, even if you can’t count. We can’t all be App State grads. Good running points Solo. I agree with all of them but truthfully know I run more solo runs than I should. I’ve come to terms that even with all the reflective crap in the world, NEVER assume all drivers can see you. One thing I’d add to the list – a cell phone. Yes I hate my cute running belt/fanny pack/whatever you want to call it but I’ll continue to use it. Phones in the car during boot camp are ok but when you’re miles away from a phone and you or someone with you needs help, I want my phone. No, your own phone won’t do any good if you’re unconscious, but if your partner goes down or you witness an accident it might save a life. If you wanna take a selfie too, go for it. But that’s not my reason for having it.
Good call (pun intended) and I will add it to the list above.
1 – I’m back whether you like it or not. Solo and is Trump-like leadership skills can’t keep me out. More baculum knowledge to come.
2 – I never carried a phone b/c Q Dog carries a phone in the cute kangaroo pouch or Segundo is blaring Menudo from his arm with his. Where they run I run except when I’m not with them.
3 – I’ve learned said phones mentioned above are useless b/c 1) Q Dog’s is only good for incoming messages from the M wanting to make sure he isn’t actually working out and know why he isn’t home yet 2) Segundo is typically 2 miles back working on action shots and his selfie game with his.
4 – does Starsky run?
Nothing anyone could have done any differently or better yesterday in Cheech’s case. Sucks all the way around and hits too close to home. Can’t imagine what his family is going through and the men of Lexington. Hope and pray we never have to experience it. Squeeze the shorties a little tighter tonight and be grateful for your time with them.
With a little love…
does Hootie workout? #Gumpjr
I will add NO HEADPHONES!! I honestly have had to work at this. I know everyone likes to call me DJ Starsky but that is why. Throw the phone in your pocket and turn up your music. You will still hear it but you can use your ears for things around you as well. Easily could be anyone of us. I am so bad about running in dark clothes. That running list is something to take to heart with BRR heating up.
And FYI that workout sucked!
Great lead as always Solo!!! I’ll try to do better next time.
Good message and always watch out for each other.
