Six years ago today I stepped out into the gloom for the first time. I can still remember how exciting it was to be doing something so far outside of my normal routine. So different from anything else I had experienced. So different than what society had been showing me. It felt organic. It felt […]

Baby Shark Do Do Nado
Seven men decided to take the red pill this morning at Skywalker and follow along for a tribute to the best week on TV: Shark Week! I knew Sharknado would be an appropriate dish to serve but also didn’t want to anger the PAX too much so Baby Sharknado it is. All of the teeth, […]
Happy Birthday Skywalker
Twas just four short years ago that the Skywalker shovel flag was planted for very the first time. It’s been a huge blessing and honor to be a part of this group of men. The friendships that have been forged in that golf course parking lot will last a lifetime. Such a big occasion deserved […]
SSH Crash & Burn
At 5:28, I roll up into the Skybrook Golf Club (#VOTEYES) parking lot expecting to see an eager group of men ready to better themselves. Wrong. It was just me and a bunch of sand. Maybe I’d get to go home and get back in bed. That’d be nice. Wrong again. In the next one […]

Nothing Beats a Birthday Beatdown
Another successful trip around the sun means it’s time to celebrate F3 style… with burpees. I really need to rethink that philosophy. Eh, maybe next year. We started off with a telepathic disclaimer and moseyed up to the clubhouse for a classic Burpee Warmup. After nearly getting run over by the Greek-mobile and welcoming Chowder […]
Happy St. Skywalker’s Day!
A lucky (see: unlucky) group of 4 leprechauns heard the rain last night and decided to still get up and search for a pot of gold at Skywalker. Here’s what they found…. (Spoiler alert, there was no gold) We started off with all the usual warmups plus a couple sets of Burpees to set the […]
Hill Sprints and Mini Murph
Rise and shine gentlemen, it’s time for some Skywalker fun! Seven men accepted the challenge of yet another sub zero (C) temp beatdown. Kumquat strolled into the parking lot in shorts already sweating, the rest of us got warmed up a few minutes later. #Disclaimer YHC broke tradition here and did not start with a […]
The Never Ending Burpee Warmup
The monsoon season continued this morning as a faithful three PAX showed up for a Friday Skywalker bootcamp. Small in numbers but large in complaints about the weather (from Greek). The disclaimer was communicated telepathically and we headed off into the elements to seek shelter at, well, the shelter. It’s my 2k19 goal to mix […]
F3 MeCa 2019 Winter Party {Preblast}
