Warm Up:
The Q welcomed the two FNG’s (Tailpipe and Homie) to the group, short disclaimer, and then it was time to get moving. After a few up and down running the hill near the basketball court the PAX were lead to the Salmander HSHM Finish line ramp.
The Workout:
From the bottom of the ramp broad jump burpees were called out. An audible was called to stop half way and run up to the top of the ramp. Plank hold for the six and we were off to the wall. People’s chair Indian run for one round and then a group run down to the basketball courts.
Everyone got in groups of three while the Q ran to get a glow soccer ball out from the bush it was hidden in prior to the start of the fun. When Q’ing I enjoy trying out new things. Crab soccer was a success and the PAX has enjoyed Ultimate Frisbee so Glow Basketball made sense to introduce. The PAX dived into three groups. Group one would run around Ting park. Stopping at the bottom of the ramp for 10 burpees, top of the ramp 20 merkins, and top corner 10 more burpees before returning to the courts. The other two faced off on an intense game of Glow Ball. Rules: Double full court (either basket on each side counted), no dribbling or running with the ball, if the ball hit the ground, everyone did a merkin and the other team got the ball, if a team scores, the other team had to do a burpee (there were not many scores).
Observations from Glow Basketball: 1. The Southwake Pax have very limited basketball abilities 2. Dawgpound brings the intesity just like Ultimate 3. The SouthWake Pax can’t jump 4. Playing basketball in the dark makes it very difficult to know what team you are on 5. Emeril should stick to hockey.
After each group did their run around Ting park that was a wrap with 10 minutes for Mary and COT.
Mary:
6 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 33 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 45 inch leg hold right into American Hammers (10 count) right into Freddie Mercury (10 count) right into boat canoe (10 count).

It has been 1 full year for me on the Q at Disney, and no regrets. One thing I really appreciate about F3 is every time you head out to post, no matter what AO, what day, you never know what you will find. Every workout is unique based on the group that shows up that day. Today was great. I showed up to keep the EC streak alive and like clockwork 187 was at the ready. He and I had a great run, nice pace, great conversation. A small group had gathered and then was treated to a 12 Oaks clown car. I announced the official fartsack as the one (actually was HC+EC) contact me 4:39am to let me know his mind was telling him yes, but his body was saying no – needed a day to rest the legs.
Warm Up: Off we went for a rather fast lap of the soccer fields then circle up for some warm up exercises and stretches.
The Workout: On the short jog down the lot we stopped at some posts and lined up for 3 sets of assisted deep squats and merkins. On the jog to the lower lot we hit the bench for 3 sets of the following no recovery between exercises) tempo dips ICx5, 10 count plank hold, shoulder taps ICx15, mt. climbers ICx15, LBCs ICx20 and SSH ICx15. Recovered between sets with jog around lot. Some dude rolled up in a pickup and stared us down for a full set only to find out he parks up on the pad and was just patiently waiting for us to clear out. Went back on the jog to the start and threw down 3 sets of BTTW alternating with fast squat jumps.
Mary: Plank-o
