Preblast:
Thanksgiving is the single highest calorie intake day of the year for the average American. So, in order to feel slightly less guilty for grabbing that second piece of pie or a third helping of stuffing, YHC invites you to join him for an extra beat down this week of the 60 minute variety.
Each pax will have the chance to “choose your own adventure.” Do you want to earn extra appetizers, an extra plate, or extra pie?
BackBlast:
Thanksgiving Day is the single highest calorie intake day for most Americans. Between appetizers, side dishes, turkey, pie, and libation, the typical American consumes north of 3000 calories on this day alone. No aspersions are cast here about calorie intake, Thanksgiving is YHC’s favorite food holiday of the year; however, F3 can help combat the fattening by pushing our men a little harder this day. So the first ever F3 Oak Park Extra-vaganza workout was hosted. 21 men left the fartsack to post together today with 3 FNGs present as well.
Conditions: Mid-40s, overcast, low wind, a typical November day

Moleskin: On a personal note, It was exactly 1 year ago Thanksgiving week that YHC, M, and 2.0 were packing up the car to move to Oak Park. This was a big, scary, audacious move with the family taking a leap of faith as we had no family, no friends in the area, and YHC unemployed moving here. Knowing there was a local F3 group made the move just a little easier to swallow and gave YHC comfort that like minded men were not too far away. F3 Oak Park provided exactly what this family needed to make the move right. Thankful does not begin to describe how YHC feels about F3 nationwide. It has been wonderful to watch Oak Park grow this past year from 7-8 dudes last year to over 30 men involved this year, and growing amidst a pandemic.
