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

YHC took the helm at Sheepdog this morning with a carefully planned beatdown to target all areas and encourage PAX to push eachother. New amenities, the track and the bleachers, were used, and no PAX were left behind. In addition, a few stayed for an extra few minutes to finish the prescribed routine. All good things F3 this morning!

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: A quick mosey to the basketball court (also new) for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, and Frankenstein’s (all x10 IC).
The Workout: PAX paired up to push eachother and pairs were instructed to wait until each PAX in their group moved on to the next phase of exercises. Again…nobody left behind! 10 Rounds total of exercises. Each round began with 5 burpees and ended in alternating fashion with either a 400m run or a 5x up/down the bleachers.

The rounds were as follows:

10 Absolutions

20 Wheelbarrow Derkins

30 Star Jumps

40 Hand-Release Merkins

50 WW2

60 Monkey Humpers

70 Dips

80 Dying Cockroach

90 Squats

100 SSH
Mary: Built in other than the mosey back to COT.
Announcements: F3 family picnic, Saturday, July 30 at Harris Lake, sign up out there, Cupid organizing.
T-Claps (Recognition): Cyclops and Fireball for breaking back out in the gloom.

YHC decided to take the Sheepdog crowd on a metaphoric journey through the mountains and mimic the experiences I had last weekend at BRR!

FNG’s: no
Warm Up: Imperial Walkers x12 IC, Hillbillies x13 IC, Frankensteins x12 IC, Seal Claps x13 IC.
The Workout: Every race starts fast…jitters are there, blood is pumping. Fast Feet with Up/Downs called by YHC for about 3 mins. to get the pulse going.

We moseyed over to the awning/wall area for a 5 ct. per PAX People’s Chair. This was followed by Step-Ups x 30, Squats x35, and Single Leg Bulgarian Squats x15 each leg.

We did a scout run to the back track/playground area.

On a tough run, sometimes you have to get your mind ready to just “settle in” to the suck. Each PAX took a turn in pairs running around the track while all others did Burpees OYO. Once all PAX had gone, we did a rinse and repeat but with LSF’s instead. You against you type of thing…

We then completed an Indian run up to the front to mimic the fast quick leg.

Finally, we finished with a game of perseverance as we embraced the Mountain Goat. The PAX did a long bear crawl, stopping along the way for a reverse countdown of Mountain Climbers/Diamond Merkins, beginning at 7 reps.  This lasted about 8 minutes. We did take a time or two recovery, because that is how to run smart on the Mountain Goat!

Mary: 25 Counts of the following: WW2’s, Homer to Marge, LBC’s, and Freddie Mercury. Finished with planks and pigeon.
Announcements: Strongman CSAUP on 10/16…sign up on Slack. Sleep in Heavenly Peace may need a bed build again.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Fireball and his knee and friend (Jared) with COVID. Loss of Cyclops employee. Wrangler lost his brother. Peace and hope in those places. YHC took us out. Honor to lead and tell a few tales!

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

FNGs: None
Warm Up: EC- YHC, Dahmer, Cancun, Yogurt, Swisher Sweets for a 2 mile EC. Also, Java & Warbucks on their bikes.  Nice work & the guys pushed me to the 2 mile PR 9:18 pace.

SSH (20), Frankensteins (10), Good mornings (15) & Willie Mays Hays (10).

The Workout: I decided not to over plan & not print out a sheet. This was a good idea & I didn’t think too much about it. It was time to dive in & focus on my weak points.

Indian run over to the dreaded hill towards Bass Lake/Greenway.

We paired up in twos. 5 rounds of hill sprints (what a rush).

Indian run back to the rock pile. Curls for the girls (20 X 2), tri-cep ext (20 X 2), Ruh Rohs (20 X 1), Bus drivers (20 X 1), shoulder press (20 X 2) & shoulder raises (20 X 1).

Mary: Call arounds at the tennis court. Cancun got us at the end!

Announcements: Run with 3-Alarm (Davis) every Tuesday at 6pm. Lookout for Yogurt’s posts.

My message at the end was “Let this be your outlet”. Tomorrow it will make one year that my family & I have been in HS. Prior, I did not have an outlet, was stressed out, angry & bitter. I would take things out verbally at times on my family. F3 has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you Pax for your friendship! It was an honor to lead this morning!

T-Claps (Recognition): Pumpkin Spice for not backing down & focusing on his weak points too. Boss Hog, Cyclops & Fireball for pushing through it.

Prayer: Cyclops wife, Shredder & many more for their mission trip to Mexico. My M & FIL on their trips home. Safe travels.
