Six PAX arrived by 5:27 am when the rain got heavy. Blue Crush, Shooting Blanks, Best In Show, and Hasselhoff hopped out of their cars and embraced the suck. Vasoline already embraced a 4 mile EC. I hopped out, ducking, as if I could avoid the downpour. We immediately ran to the parking deck and settle in.
WU: Exercises on the corners: SSH 25x, high knees 15x, arm circles 10x F/B, stretching OYO.
The PAX nearly nailed the F3 Mission Statement, but left out the word “community.” Three burpees–a light penance.
ME: B.L.I.M.P.S. = Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats
Ascending reps: 5, 10, 15, 20 with trips up the steps between sets.
Each PAX took a turn leading up the steps. To get some fresh air, Shooting Blanks and another exited at the upper deck and we circled around the long way to return to the lower level.
PAX helped me keep count up to 20 burpees.
Mary: Popcorn, ending at 6:15
Grateful for shelter of parking deck, but Hoff wanted ventilation to clear Vasoline’s gas.
COT: Prayers – Best in Show asked for prayers as he replaces the turbos on his truck
Gratitude for this day and Jesus.
Announcements: Run with Davis
Yogurt out.

/in Possum Trot/by Jack DelloStritto5 Possums made 30°F feel like 100°F as we warmed up all four corners of the tennis court. ~25 reps per corner; a mix of legs, arms/shoulders, core, and random 4th corner workouts to achieve well over 400 reps this morning. Plenty of bear crawls in between.
Well done Abacus the OG Stovepipe Breach Finkle

/in Fellowship/by Jack DelloStritto(3 alarm fun run missing from Backblast AO drop down)
Good mumblechatter at the 3-Alarm Fun Run with Mr. Davis as we ran 2.65 mi around Holly Glenn. Davis provided high praise by saying he felt like he was flying!
Had to stop and get a St. Patrick’s day picture with the quintessential holiday decoration: a giant leprechaun skeleton.
Shout out to @Choppa for the assistance at start and finish!!
Great running with you, @Davis TeitelbaumF3;3Alarm !
