2 Years Strong
First, it was Memorial Day and we made sure to acknowledge before we started the workout. Important to focus on what the day really means.
It was my 2 year anniversary so I took the Q at Paradise City, one of the most influential AOs for me during my F3 time. I have since started Downtown Train as an alternative for Monday mornings but PC will always be near and dear to my heart. So, we did a convergence. We had several for EC including a group of doing a run from Womble as EC then a return run to Womble for the Murph, thus creating their own CSAUP. Kudos to UTI, Lipstick and Aquaman. Don’t recall who we had for EC exactly. Think there were 5 of us, but what I do remember is, in rare form, all of us stuck together the entire 2 miles, and that was cool. One thing I really love about F3, every workout is a bit different and it is all driven by the guys you post with. We have so many great characters and the mix we had today was really a strong reflection for me of my time in F3. Thanks to all who came out top post.
FNGs: None
Warm Up: On the jog to bottom of ramp for SSH (a Nemo favorite) and extended count Good Mornings. On the jog to top of ramp for SSH and Goofballs. On the jog around to back corner for Sir Fazio. On the jog down to end of guard rail to stretch the arms.
The Workout: On the guard rail we did a rapid set of tempo dips ICx10 followed by Mt Climbers ICx10. 3 sets. Sweat was already in play thanks to the muggy air. On the jog to the rocks each man picked a rock, and a couple picked a wasp nest, then we headed over to the tunnel with half lined up on each side. Did a few rounds of exercises with one group on the exercise in tunnel and the other on the run to end of path and back. Had to wait to switch until all were back and in People’s Chair. Started with curls for the girls, then ground pounders. 2 sets of each. Might have been more, I don’t recall. Ended with some BTTW with a long count down the line. Stench was building so we returned the rocks and headed back to bball courts.
Mary: A couple quick sets keeping the legs up for LBC, 6″, Low Slow Flutter, American Hammer and a Pickle Pounder to close it out.
Announcements: See Slack
T-Claps (Recognition): Abe for putting in total effort with BreathTaker. This guy has been an inspiration for me from his first post.
Prayer: YHC shared 2 things I hope all of you will think about. 1. If any of you think you are not making a difference in someone’s life – if you have ever posted with me, 1st, 2nd or 3rd F, if we have posted together only 1x, or if we have been out in the cold weeks on end pushing each other – know that you are making a difference for me. And 2. something that F3 has done for me – just like the rest of you I carry a lot of stuff around with me, some of it I share, some I don’t because I might just not be ready, but what F3 has done for me is it has made me stronger in identifying and more patiently dealing with my “stuff’ and maybe that’s because I know that at any time I need it, one of you will have my back, and that has been a difference maker. YHC took us out in prayer with respect to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
