Jellybeans set the tone

On my way to the AO, as I continued to work through the details of the workout in my head, I turned onto Holly Springs Rd and was coming up on my turn into Jones Park. Ahead of me, the silhouette of a HIM crossing Holly Springs Rd; Regal, Majestic, Patriotic; this HIM  (later identified as Jellybeans) was rucking to the AO for the workout, with his Shovel Flag in tow, backlit by the light of dawn.  A sight to see, an inspiration to those around him, a proud member of F3. For me, this certainly set the tone for the morning. 

FNGs: Nada

Warm Up: Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm circles, Seal Claps, OH Claps, Daisy Pickers

The Workout: Mosey to the rock pile for a medium rock. 

Made our way to Holly Springs Rd via Cusack and Mosey with various rock exercises mixed in (Ruh Rohs, Lunge walk with OH Press, Squat with OH Press, Curls for the Girls)

Circled up in the grass adjacent to Holly Springs Rd for 3 rounds of various rock exercises combining arms, legs, and ab work. Each round was separated by sprints down the new greenway path with a mosey back to the rocks. 

Exercises included ruh rohs, skull crushers, ground pounders, chest press, american hammers, homer to marge, squats, lunges, and a combo 6 inches and overhead rock pull on our six. 

Made our way back to the rock pile mixing in some of the same exercises and modes of transportation along the way.

Finished with a plank hold rock pass down the line of 14 PAX x 2.

Over to the playground we went to complete the June challenge of 20 pullups at every AO.

Turning Heads at the Amphitheater – YOGA

FNGs:  None

Warm-up: Lots of stretching

The Thang:  YOGA. Pax moseyed from parking lot to the amphitheater.  Pull-ups were done while passing the kiddie-area.  PAX rolled out their mats (one PAX decided to fight the ants in the grass after not reading Slack and bringing his mat).  YHC found some soothing music getting us in the right mood.  Lots of stretching from our head to our toes.  Many YOGA moves were included.  Stretching of our lower extremities causing many female walkers to turn and stare, possibly gawk at the maneuvers performed on stage.  Definitely a crowd pleaser.  Lots of laughs for sure.

COT:  Finished with some Jane Fonda-like stretches (she was a beauty in the 80s).  YHC took us out in prayer.  Shared story of my headlock 7 years ago.

Announcements:  Support the Run the Quay this Saturday.

Honored to lead during my 7th year Anniversary with F3.

Respectfully,

Paradise with a UTI

Wet ‘n Wild (Turkey) at Paradise City

FNGs: I think they were scared of the thunderstorms like Downrange

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Willie Mays Haze, Daisy Pickers, Lap, SSH

The Workout:

Since I was on Q, the crazy rain, some previous day shenanigans, and the upcoming Murph the numbers at Paradise were a little lower than I’d hoped (I had a sweet playlist and everything).  The gameplan was to split into teams and have a little race of sorts.  Since we were 3… this is what we did instead.

10 Cards, A-10 were shuffled and placed on the wet pavement.  In an accountability group of 3 we used the 10 cards to randomize the following list of workouts and share the work.

  1. [Ace] Gradual hill “Ting Ramp” runs (4 times, 3 times, 2 times)
  2. Squats x50 ea
  3. Benches (box jump, step up squat, step ups) x10 reps
  4. Sea Turtles (30 ea, 20, 15)
  5. Squats x25 ea
  6. Sea Turtles (30 ea, 20, 15)
  7. Run up steep “Ting Ramp” hill (4 times, 3 times, 2 times)
  8. Squats x25 ea
  9. Star Jumps x200 group total
  10. Benches (box jump, step up squat, step ups) x10 reps

Mary:  We ran a lap around Paradise to make sure we hit the 3 mile minimum

Announcements:  Murph and more to be reviewed at the Murph or on Slack.  Run the Quay Tent on June 1 and SW Family BBQ June 9th at 2p

T-Claps (Recognition):  Pikachu for commuting to Paradise in the rain from Womble for EC.  Pikachu and Turkey for picking up the 6, who remained in the fartsack when they stopped by “on their way” to Womble for the Murph.
