Working on the Standard

/in /by

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

Standard Warmup, including the Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals, and the 15 Penalty Burpees associated with the failure to know when called upon.

The Workout:

26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO.  We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha.  Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.

Mary:

Cleanup of the field

Announcements:

@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve.  For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step.  Without it, the “Plant” will die.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Good Work to those that stuck around to complete the #corechallenge Day 6.

Prayer:

Fox Family, Struggling PAX both Monetarily, Family, Faith, and Health.  Our leaders and soldiers on the frontline

Challenge to all Southwake Men of F3:
If you’ve become comfortable—if you’re unknowingly living as a sad clown—it’s time to wake up. Comfort is not the goal.
Start getting comfortable being uncomfortable in all three Fs. Don’t let good become the enemy of great, and don’t allow procrastination to quietly lead you into stagnation.
Challenge yourself.
Challenge another PAX.
Remember:
Leave no man behind. Leave no man where you found him.

T-Clapps: All 5 of us for showing up for E&O (even though life’s choices were challenged mid workout).

Prayers: Banana Seat 11yr daughter dealing with panic attacks after whooping cough, Breach’s mom having knee surgery and traveling, LED’s father-in-law with fluid on lungs and starting to heal all PAX who want to be out but can’t.

Warm Up: Quick Jog over to the pavilion, then 22 reps counts of SSH, Good Mornings,  and Frankenstein’s 

The Workout: We took a tour of womble park and tried to use all the terrain and tools at our disposal. We started at the Pavilion and did a 3 round swap of Dips and Shoulder Tap Balls to the Wall. 

We recovered on the jog over to the upper parking lot to grab some rocks with some Curls, Tri’s and Rut Rohs. We then did some crab walks with the rock to stop 1/2 across the to do 22 American Hammers and then again at the end. We went back to the start with 2 shoulder presses and 2 wonder bras at each parking lot line. 

Another recover on the jog over between the softball fields for some partner Wheel Barrell action up the hill, at the top 5 merkins, then switch partners. 

Jog over to the small rock pile behind the fields for some squats, lunges and calf raises. All 22 counts. Seeing a pattern here?

Another Jog over to the fence line for some shaky Irkins (22) 

Another jog to the picnic tables for 2 rounds of step ups (22) and then the final jog back to the parking lot to Join Crazy Ivan for Mary and COT. 

Mary: Homer to Marge with kettle bells and some plank reach throughs

Announcements: Triple Ruck Challenge at the HS races. Spring classic 8k, TMF 9/11 Hero’s run (5k) HS 1/2 marathon. 

T-Claps (Recognition): To everyone, keep getting up, keep getting after it. It does not get easier, you get stronger.

PAX of 9 today at Running For The John aka R4TJ. We had a 10th HC but something kept him sidelined. YHC wanted to try some new today. We partnered up and YHC passed out a baton for each team.

We did a loop all together to warm up. Once we got back to the start, baton runner was to take off and run at a fast pace until they caught up to the partner that was to mosey until caught. YHC and Sardine got two loops in until we started getting close to our partner. Once you had off the baton, you stop and do 10 merkins and 10 air squats. YHC quickly changed the strategy bc this one wasn’t going to work. It took over a mile to catch up. So the new plan was the baton runner ran one full fast paced lap, then reversed direction back to partner then switch. Still incorporating the exercises. Most PAX got to switch 3 times each. Final lap, we all came together as a group to cool down. We got in close to 5 miles in a little over 40 mins. Then we did some stretching of the legs.

COT for announcements and prayers. YHC counted the 6th PAX to tell how they got their F3 name, how long they’ve been doing F3 and what F3 has done for them. Bleeder was the lucky candidate. YHC took us out in prayer.

Thanks for dealing with the shenanigans this morning. The stimulus was definitely met. Until next time….
BS Out!
