OldLVAs I work from home now it has been very good to be able to connect with F3 men via Zoom workouts. I’ve especially enjoyed getting to know the Peters clan as Mani and Streisand (Mani’s dad) and occasionally Mani’s 2.0’s, Figment and Snuggles have been consistent participants on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Last week …

11 HIM eagerly gathered on a gorgeous 57 degree morning for the return of the Saturday edition of #BlastFurnace!

We played our summer games, Ultimate Frisbee. It’s never just a game though. In this edition we did a burpee anytime the frisbee was dropped. We also did 10 merkins every time there was a score. You could also trade in your 10 merkins with 2 clap merkins if you preferred. I think some of …
