Thought: If you are ever called into action it will most likely not be because of some bar brawl or street fight. It may be someone with a mental illness or could be a close family friend who’s child is on drugs. Our goal is not to do his most damage as possible but to put people in compliance so they cannot do harm to others or themselves. We have to be ready for that as well.

Five & Dime, a trip back in time

YHC was feeling a little nostalgic planning out the workout for today. Hearkening back to a simpler time years gone by I was reminded of the old Five & Dimes. You younger Pax will have no recollection of anything other than the super Walmarts, Targets, etc. Oh well, let’s plan some 5 & 10’s for the workout. 17 Pax posted this morning including 1 FNG.

Warm Up: Disclaimer given and we were off out of the park for tour of downtown Fuquay. Stopped for some Moroccan night clubs, Fozzio’s, squatted T-claps & Imp. walkers all in cadence.

The Workout: 20 dips on the guardrails followed by 30 derkins got us off to a good start. Mosey run toward downtown with a couple of stops for the 1st of several 5 & dimes to include burpees & big boy step ups at the flag poles. A trip over the the Aviators WIDE brick walkway for a round of rail crawls with each Pax bear crawling under the other Pax back to the start point. More step ups followed by yet more Irkins all in cadence before heading across the street for a round of Balls to the Wall with Pax bear crawls from start to end. Followed by a round of 20 IC Balls to wall of Australian mountain climbers. Then partnered up for two rounds of 5 & dimes across the parking lot to include Monkey Humpers and burpees with partner wheel barrows in between each exercise. Found the iron hand rails for a couple of partner up Type Writers / 10 squat star jumps x 2 rounds. Mosey on back toward the park but not before stopping for another set of 5 & dimes of burpees and merkins.

Mary: YHC once again called out for any Pax who had been posting less than 3 months to raise his hand. Dovetail, H1N1, and Pablo were called out to lead Mary on the spot but not before they were shared with the importance of being ready in season and out of season to take the lead by YHC. This is what F3 is about; building male leadership in the home, work place, church, etc. Pablo x 20 flutter kicks IC, H1N1 x 20 LBC’s IC, Dovetail x 20 seated bicycles 10 forward / 10 reverse IC. All three men executed the IC exercises like a veteran.

Announcements: Upcoming Kenny’s Grave AO resurrection tomorrow morning at 5:30 at South Park. Upcoming CSAUP Sasquatch in Greenville on the 7-28.

Naming of FNG Rodney – Now known as Coyboy. Name-o-Rama followed by short message from YHC of making time for ourselves by simplifying areas of our lives that we are overextended in and knowing when to simply say no in order keep our lives a little less stressful.

Prayer: Safe travels for Natty Ice and family, Crab Legs, Brexit’s friend in burn center out of state. YHC took us out in prayer.

Patriot Games

33 men completed the Patriot Games workout and celebrated our nation’s independence.

3 FNGs:welcome midstick,waterboy, and cliffhanger

Announcements: F3 dad’s camp,  Kid Cracker has tickets

Prayers: Crablegs, Pax dealing with injuries, families, marriages, military, great discussion about how F3 has impacted us and how each of us use it in our daily lives, the community is watching us be better men and make our community better, read Freed to Lead
