F3 SW 3rd F Leadership Meeting Brought to you by Pokemon Coffee, Inc

Bat Flippin the Bat Flippers

YHC pre-blasted that dice would be in place to determine the route. There was some pushback to the possibility of 5 miles in loops around Ting, but remember mental toughness is a thing too. Anyone up for a backyard Ultra this fall?

YHC arrived to an empty parking lot at 0450 to run EC. Pikachu arrived shortly after already 6.5 in and joined YHC for a few miles. Sure glad I didn’t slow him down because he was cruising. Returned back to Ting to see a group of Pax running into Bridgewater. No idea who was there except for Emeril, causes everyone knows that gait. At the flag Martini was warming up. Pablo shortly after, and Dumbo was early rolling in at 5:28. Dumbo had the honors for the dice roll…4…which meant big dipper.

4 of started out on a mosey with no communication from the other 5 except that they would not be starting out with us. Thanks for filling us in martini. I’ll assume they’re scared of the dice. Shieldlocks are tight right? Wrong. Dumbo and Pablo had no idea of the early start by the fritters, or bat flippers, or cookie pouch munchers, or whatever they call themselves now. After Dumbo’s effort this week he may be joining FML.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: OYO
The Workout: Big Dipper. Pickin up the 6. Nice job Pablo and Dumbo
Mary: Minimal as we arrived back right at 6:30.
Announcements: Mulch
T-Claps (Recognition): Pablo and Dumbo getting the 6 and Martini crushing it today.
Prayer: Skidmark’s friend’s daughter who got bit by a copperhead Monday evening. Dumbo took us out.

Abe visits the Nest

The call went out last night for a Q for the Nest. I’ve never been to the Nest, so I figured it was a good excuse to make the trek down to the ‘Quay. YHC didn’t have a plan going in. I got there a little early to scope it out, and seeing how squarely-shaped the park was, good ol’ 7 of Diamonds seemed to fit the bill. Martini and H1n1 were already there, running EC. Two FNGs showed up a few minutes before 0530 to make a nice, manageable team of 5. The newbie spiel was delivered and we were off.
FNGs
: Bogey (likes to golf) and his son Sweet Tea (works at Chick-Fil-A)
EC: Martini, H1N1
Warm Up
: Jogged around the parking lot, then circled up for SSH x 15, Imperial Walkers x 10, Hillbillies x 10, Fozio Arm Circles, 10 forward / 10 reverse, and Good Mornings x 10.
The Workout: 7 of Diamonds was the name of the game today. But instead of rounding the bases, we rounded Falcon Park. Round 1, 7 reps. Round 2, 14 reps, Round 3, well, you get the picture. Exercise one is the standard murkin. Exercise two is the prisoner squat. Exercise 3, catalina wine mixers. Exercise 4, WWIIs.
PAX then jogged around to the brick wall in the parking lot and grabbed some people’s chair. Everyone held people’s chair while one PAX rain down to the end of the parking lot and back. Then it was the next PAX’s turn. We did this until everyone had a turn to run.
We ended with a quick indian run around the parking lot.
Mary: LBCs x 15, Freddie Mercuries x 15, Shoulder Taps x 10, Pickle P0unders x 10, Reverse LBCs x 10, something else I forgot and American Hammers x 10.
Announcements: Mulch sign up
T-Claps (Recognition): Bogey and his son Sweet Tea for coming out and joining us in the gloom.
Prayer: Parents juggling their kids’ school, especially Norm’s wife who’s flying solo while Norm is away for training.
