Last week our now former Master Q, Brutus, informed The Valley PAX that the newest segment of the greenway, while not complete, was now open to foot and bike traffic. Shortly afterward our newly minted Master Q, Blowout, posted the need for Q slots to be filled. YHC jumped on the opportunity to both support […]

The “2 Step Trope”!
Years ago, after numerous Pax witnessed MeCa’s own Forgotten Jelly “finishing” exercises early, the “Jelly Lube” was created. This now infamous act is engraved forever in the tomes of the F3 Lexicon: Today, a new Pax-named term was coined in “honor” of our own 2 Step, who is well-known for requesting the launch point of […]
Marathon training officially begins…
As YHC has decided that since he is fairly trained up after his first half marathon last week, that just continuing the mileage nonsense and just getting a full marathon out of the way instead of possibly starting all over again at a later date makes sense. It makes sense, but the stupid number of […]
A Star Studded Cruise
YHC picked the coldest day of the year so far (25°) to lead 7 other Pax into the gloom. The cruise launched from Tradition and went like this: Right on Prosperity. Left on Fairlea. Onto the greenway. Right on Saxonbury. Left on Mallard Grove. Left on David Cox. Left into the apartment complex and onto […]
Miles, smiles, FNGs, headphones, passports, warmarama and more
YHC rolled in shortly before 0500, where Sparknut awaited. 15 miles on the docket today for the two of us. Drove separate as Sparknut wasn’t sure how well his body could handle the large red pill this morning. Spoiler alert: it held up just fine. Body glide applied and we start with a few miles […]
Holdin’ off Flo
YHC had spent the previous evening getting his mind right and preparing himself to run 7+ miles in an absolute downpour as Hurricane Florence had made landfall that day. In usual F3 fashion, lots of yapping and carrying on (mostly from yours truly) about playing in the rain would be for naught, as nothing more […]
Merkin-fearing Mutiny…A Sad Day in F3 History
After Monday’s ridiculous Velocity run (in which YHC humbly followed the Q’s lead despite the questionable intelligence of his route plan), the Valley MQ highlighted the need for someone to sign up and Q on Wednesday. Having not Q’d a Cruise in awhile, I figured it was time I stepped up. So, last night YHC […]
Mount Rut Repeats(MRR)
I had been eying a certain “no trespasses” gravel road leading off into the wilderness for a few year now. Not sure why we have never run it before, so I thought today would be that day! I challenged 2 men, @forgotten Jelly and @Softwood to show, as they are on the same KT5K team […]
Trailblazing at The Valley
Last night YHC put a lot of effort in to coming up with a new variation on an old route. Upon completion I realized I had created a master piece! I then posted my masterpiece on slack for all to view an marvel at. Within minutes I had my first reaction, how excited this person […]
2 (plus a Brutus drive-by) for the valley cruise
Two came together for a simple cruise: https://footpathapp.com/routes/9cf543c5f46641bda8393bd03cf25658 YHC knew that some people couldn’t make it and I honestly thought I would be doing this one solo today. Thankfully Grizzly’s son woke him up early and he decided to join me. It was a good route and a great opportunity to enjoy all 3 F’s.
