Warm Up:  Good mornings, Frankensteins, SSH. Sweaty PAX ran EC – nice work.
The Workout:  Pre blast called for a counter clockwise run around Bass Lake (~5 miles).  Still recovering from a knee issue, I opted to add a ruck (~3 mile).  Forceps rolled in three minutes late due to a dream which I heard and tried interpreting during our hike.  Sometimes it is better just to listen and take things all in stride (pun intended).  We saw the runners on Grigsby helping each out picking up the six. Lots of support and fellowship this morning

Good Things Take Hard Work

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

YHC is seriously trying to come back from a variety of injuries that have plagued my body the last 8 weeks or so and…I’m pretty far back on BRR training, so when I Q, the PAX are along the ride with me to make these last 7 weeks count in my training for BRR. No better way to do that than hit the ramp at Ting for some repeats. In addition, YHC is celebrating 19 years of marriage to my wonderful wife today. 16 PAX came to celebrate the value of hard work to strengthen their bodies today on the grounds of Paradise City. Message for the day as well…it takes hard work to build a strong marriage as well. Don’t forget to put the work in with your M’s…and don’t mentally/emotionally fartsack when it counts!

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: A mosey down the long end of the main lot followed by Windmills x 10 IC, Frankensteins x10 IC, and Imperial Walkers x 10 IC. Another mosey down to the other end for Sir Fazio’s x 10 IC F/R and Hillbillies x 10 IC.
The Workout: Counted off by 3’s. 3 Indian Run lines would run the ramp/tennis court loop until 19 “indians” got to the front of the line. All groups stopped generally at the same spot when finished. We proceeded to do 19 Prisoner Squats and 19 Shoulder Taps IC. Same Indian Run lines back the other way, again, waiting to get 19 “indians” to the front of the line before stopping back by the cars. Comments were made to quit the workout there and go grab coffee. We did 19 SSH IC and 19 Mountain Climbers IC before moseying back to the bottom of the ramp.

We would run the ramp for the remainder of time. At the bottom, it would be Merkins starting at 1. At the top, it would be Step-Ups on the wall starting at 2. Going up the ramp, PAX were supposed to go between 80-100%, and a mosey back down the ramp. We went all the way to 19…stacking up odd numbers at the bottom, and even numbers at the top. Those finishing first, did what we do, they found a 6 and finished out with them. With only 4 minutes to go, YHC asked about mileage. God forbid, we don’t get our 3 miles. 2 of 3 PAX shared over 3 mile readings (other idea was 4 mins. of Indian runs), so we headed back for Mary.
Mary: 19 WW2’s and some were pissed that I finished 30 seconds early.
Announcements: Q Swap with Carpex begins next week. They come to us for a featured guest workout at 1 site each day (2 on Wednesday).
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks to Pikachu, 187, Laettner, and Full House…all faster than me…for help getting me some low times for me on EC.
Prayer: Two kids in our community, battling illness. Our marriages and the strength, patience, and passion to nurture them. It was really nice to be at the helm again today…thanks for being there fellas!

This ain’t no Lipstick route

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: Welcome “TEX”
Warm Up: SSH, DP’s, GM’s
The Workout: 22 HIM’s set out for just over 6 miles.  New route took us out into the neighborhood behind Panera, looping around a few streets before coming back up to Bennett Knoll Pkwy.  A few PAX mumbled this must be a Lippy route….no, no, no, not today boys, YHC called out directions, all PAX stayed on route, although the daylight probably helped.  Heading over to 12 Oaks, down Ivy Arbor, we ran past the park and pond, looking back up for what ended up being a pretty long hill.  From there, normal U-turn route was in play.   Great work by all, a bit schweaty, but great work.
Announcements: Q swap with Carpex next week
Prayer: Friend of Pablo, Carter Mandeville

Lippy snug in his covers…

/in /QIC:
PAX: ,

YHC rolled down HS Road to find a speedy 187 rolling through the humidity like it weren’t a thing at all. I had a feeling he was headed to TB… Then he ran past me when I parked. Maybe I was gonna do this thing solo? Nope, he found a new parking space and we contemplated the chances of Lipstick showing up on his HC…. 0515. No Lippy. Let’s roll.

FNGs: basically me
Warm Up: A few SSH, Frankenstein’s, Imperial’s and general stretching.
The Workout:  The “Burph”- This bad idea came from the nation’s slack and reposted by 16-Bit with the opportunity to bring it to Tiger Blood. I thought, why not have this be a return to the gloom opportunity to Q. Ugh.

25 Burpees, 50 Merkins, 75 Squats – 2 laps on the track. Rinse and Repeat 4x… totals of 100 Burpess, 200 Merkins, 300 Squats and 2 miles.

1776 – Celebration of Freedom

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There are lots of ways one might choose to celebrate the freedom that we so often take for granted. The F3 way is to have a brutal beatdown that serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free – it was purchased and preserved by countless patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 (NLT)

YHC is truly grateful for my F3 brothers who push me to become a better version of myself – physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks for the push to get through the 1,776 reps! Keep up the great work HIM and keep pushing each other!
