Breaking Up A Rendezvous
There was a small Twitter war going on between the REAL RED Friday workout and the other guys on who would have the most PAX. I knew from past history that I was fighting an uphill battle, but the banter was welcomed and entertaining. We’ve had some that recently defected to the runners due to marathon training. I […]
Loredo
We met this morning at the Epicenter for a RedFriday HERO workout called Loredo. This workout is in honor of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo. “U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo, 34, of Houston, Texas, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, […]
Changing of the Guard
This particular REDFriday was a little different than most for me. A few weeks ago I noticed that the Q sheet was a little empty so I thought I needed to get myself on the list. Then, this past Tuesday I received a text asking if I would be interested in taking over as AOQ. […]
Take this Job and shove it, I ain’t working here no more
True story – I once saw Johnny Paycheck in concert and of course he encored the song, “Take this Job and shove it”. Quality stuff. That said, today we were at Red Friday to honor someone different, Ryan Job. Read about this guy here: https://www.fallenheroesproject.org/united-states/ryan-job/ 6 guys got up early and answered the bell. And […]

Red Friday Run Back
We call this one a modified Quarles. In honor of Flossy’s Brother-In-Law. No entry to blocks. I didn’t even think about it when planning… Criteria for selection: something that hasn’t been done in a long time, involved pull-ups and running, takes a long time to complete…feeling unprepared for a mud run the next weekend. Went […]
You gotta Fight, for your right, to party!
An A-list crowd of PAX descended upon the original mothership of F3Greenwood for this week’s Red Friday. I look forward to Red Friday every week (well at least the ones I can attend) bc you get a chance to compete: Against yourself, against the clock, against fellow PAX. I love that component of Red Friday. Several […]
2 for the price of one
A couple of years ago YHC attended my first Red Friday workout. Don’t remember who was the Q, but i remember the workout. It was two of the shorter WODs, when done together pain was delivered. I decided a repeat was required. Weather was perfect a crisp 52 degrees. Got started on time (duggar had […]
Struggle Bus
YHC has admittedly been a bit slack on his AOQ duties at Red Friday lately for a variety of reasons (P200, Tax Season, etc). That said, I failed to look at the Q sheet and notice the Q spot was vacant for this Friday. Sugar alerted me to this, and I went into scramble mode trying […]
