PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.

BS Out!

PAX: , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: none (don’t blame them)

Warm Up: SSH, high knees

The Workout: 6 runners and 3 ruckers. The runners had a nice and simple out and back on Crossway. 5 miles, give or take, and a few hills. The temperature was just right for the rain to not be too much of a bother. Everyone did a good job picking up the 6 (YHC).

Mary: Nah, we’re good.

Announcements: see Slack

T-Claps (Recognition): all of the PAX who got out in the driving rain this morning to get it done

Prayer: injured PAX, miss seeing them in the gloom, reach out!

Moleskin: F3’s third core principle is “Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.” Obviously, safety takes priority. Don’t go play on a field when their’s lightning (we were skirting the edge of that today), don’t go for a hard long run if it’s 120° F. But part of getting up at 5:30 in the morning and knocking out a workout is doing the hard thing. Those hard things make us stronger, not just in a physical sense but also mentally. So if it’s raining, if it’s cold, if it’s dark, make the commitment to get out there (safely) and put in the work. You’ll be better for it and so will your brothers in the gloom.

FNGs: No

Warm Up:  SSH, Willy Mays, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio, Seal Claps

The Workout:  7’s in the parking lot – Doubled up burpees on both ends…lol

Simple stuff today.  Set up stations under the covered picnic table area:  People’s chair, balls to the wall, curls for girls w/dumbbells, WWII, standard merkin, Squats w/30lb ruck, alternating shoulder raises w/dumbbells.

The timer was my homemade Quadzilla tire sled pull.  PAX chose a station to start in and the tire puller ran to the playground sign and back, at which time all PAX would rotate.  We got two full rounds in.

Mary:  YHC called box cutters then opened it for popcorn:  Freddy Mercury, reverse boxcutters, some goofy but difficult thing Pikachu called, low slow flutters…I don’t remember the rest.

Announcements: Trash pick up and backpack donation that Abe is collecting for

T-Claps (Recognition):  YHC share with the group that today is his 4-year sobriety anniversary.  In his old age, he’s not big on most anniversaries, traditional ceremonies and the like, but this one is different.  A time for reflection, praise and the sincerest of gratitude.

Prayer:  The usual
