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):

Who doesn’t post a route?

/in /by

FNG: FRAM (only to a Running AO)

W-up: GM, hamstring stretch, sumo squat (mission and CP),  plank achilles stretch,

Lots of initial mumble chatter on who doesn’t post a route that’s gonna queue a running AO? YHC Confirmed he had a route, but wasn’t gonna share to keep everybody on their toes. 5 burpee penalty enforced for Lipstick being late. Technically, we probably should’ve done 10 because slash was with him. But he couldn’t help that his dad was pooping.

The Thang:

Set timer for 22 minutes. We ran in until the timer, ran out each Pax picked one exercise of 10 reps to include:  LBC, lunges, Merkins, squats, can’t remember 2 of them, and Burpees.
then we ran the route in reverse on the way home. 5+ mi for all.

Announcements:  Q’em all challenge sign up!

T claps: Fram for getting out of his comfort zone.

Prayers: None everybody’s An angel (liars!)

Presidents Day UFO

/in /by

Warm Up:  Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event. 

The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games. 

Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed. 

Announcements: Q them all and set a number of weekly workouts challenges are active and running. If you complete the Q-Them all challenge, you will receive a custom shirt. 

Prayer- General Prayers  

Ting Circles

/in /by

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!
