4 pax weren’t scared of David Goggins or the rain when they committed to Casino Royale this morning. The mumble chatter was at a minimum but was powerful. Key takeaways from mumble chatter this morning. 1. If you have a website you are an organization. Guess I need to take down Skidmark.com 2. LED coaches kids  3. That’s all I remember because we were too busy working out.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: None, we got right to it.
The Workout:
1. Started with 2 minutes of SSH followed by 2 minutes of merkins. We did this for 16+ minutes.

50 CC LBC’s

Was that a snake…nope that was flatulence

**I would like to open up this BB by apologizing to @Full House and explaining the above title…please forgive me Full House!!!  About 3-miles into our 6-mile workout I was running with Alpine and my stomach was giving me some awful pain.  I told Alpine my stomach was jacked and to keep going and I would catch up.  I stopped dead in my tracks and ripped one for what felt like 10-seconds.  Well it wasn’t until the end of the workout that Full House mentioned that he was trailing us during the run and thought I had stopped to look at a snake or something.  As soon as he ran through the exact spot where I had unleashed my stomach pains, he took the brunt of the aftermath.  I cannot not apologize enough @Full House and I can’t believe I’m mentioning this in a BB that will forever be posted.  I will be hanging my head in shame every time I see you for quite some time my man.

FNGs: none

Sunday Funday

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

10x Fazio Arm Circles (Fwd & Rev), 10x Imperial Walkers, 10x Hillbillies, 10 Daisy Pickers, quick mosey up and down the parking lot to include butt-kickers, high-knees, karaoke to the right and left

The Workout:

4PAX completed “I Believe It’s Jogging…or Yogging…It’s a Soft ‘J’ Virtual 5K” (@LipSync, @RogerRoger, @Dauber, @Forceps).  7PAX completed the “standard route” of 5-6mi at AGS that I learned from @Mookie, which is leaving Womble, R on Stinson, R on Bass Lake, L on Salem Ridge, L on Linksland, R on Holly Springs Rd, L on Raleigh Rd, L on Grigsby, and follow Grigsby to the backside of Womble and enter the 2nd entrance back to Womble.  This ends up being around 6miles, give or take a little depending if you’re the “6” or you’re picking up the “6”.

When YHC and fellow 6PAX finished our 6mi jog, the 4PAX who completed the “Kind of a Big Deal” Virtual Run https://runsignup.com/irun2stayclassy were already in their T-shirt’s, wearing their medals, sipping cans of Coors light, and had already taken a memorable group picture with the classic AGS sunrise in the background (Photo available on Slack 1stf channel at 9:27am Sunday 8/30)

It was a beautiful day today and the humidity felt like half of what it was the morning prior…thank you to all of those who came out and joined.

Schweddy U-turn – Lipstick’s soul mate spotted

/in /by

Holy schweddy balls it was a hot U-turn on Saturday as 12 PAX literally sweated their balls off over five miles.  Warm up consisted of some good mornings, IW, daisy pickers, windmills and 5 burpess OYO courtesy of Lipstick’s alarm clock malfunction.

Fortunately for the PAX there was a late run site to behold as two ladies apparently decided to be miserable as well Saturday morning.  We made our way down Green Oaks only to see one of them emerge from a construction port-a-potty…could it be?  Lipstick’s sister from another mister?  Perhaps dare I say his deuce dropping soul mate?  His poop partner?  His BM buddy?  For those that missed it, all I can say is this chick could really “run for the john”.  Truly a site to behold.

Announcements – mulching around Bass Lake is getting close to wrapping up, check out the sign up sheets to help support.  Leadership met on Wednesday this past week to discuss 3rd F opportunities, see Slack for details.

Prayer requests – Skidmark’s neighbors daughter who is recovering from a copperhead bite, UTI’s brother as he is on the mend.

F3 SW 3rd F Leadership Meeting Brought to you by Pokemon Coffee, Inc

Guest Appearance by Tom Petty

/in , /by

Many training plans, one team. F3 strong is what I’m talking about. 20 fellas pushed themselves in various ways this morning.  The “bat flippers” were mostly present and accounted for on a 10 mile route. Team FML plus a few more got at least 10 miles while joining the classic U-Turn route and picking up the six…a lot. . Several more of us including YHC got between 6-9 miles with many mix-ins training for BRR and RDC marathon. Aquaman and Bernie were hitting 20 plus today.  Martini bagged a half marathon.

YHC message was simple as I was inspired by Dovetail’s post this week. If you struggle…good. If it hurts (not injured)…good. If it’s difficult… good.  If you fail… good.  If you make a mistake… good. Bottom line is I had a crappy week, and many of us can complain about many things.  BUT… if our M’s and kids are happy and healthy, if we have meaningful work to do, if we can exercise and have our health, if the Lord above loves us as sons even though we are messed up people, well then…good!
Warm Up: Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Frankenstein’s
The Workout: Standard U-Turn route.  Lots of picking up the 6..,which was often YHC.
Mary: Runners Stretch And Pigeon Pose with almost a full…OUT LOUD… sing along to Tom Petty by none other than THE Dawgpound! The song…Last Dance with Mary Jane! Not gonna lie…the way my feet and knees hurt… I get the song big time today. But enough of that for now…
Announcements: Go mulch. There may be an additional week or two added.
T-Claps (Recognition): Martini on the half marathon today.  Strong work brother. Lots of picking up the 6.  All those elites out there…many of you for picking up my six!
Prayer: Pikachu’s M and health issues. Protection from injury illness for pax with races coming up. YHC took us out…and then a few pax went to join Martini as he completed his half… THAT is what this is about!

I like big tires and I cannot lie.

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Mosey towards rock pile, large circle around the island. SSH IC 20, Imperial Walkers IC 10,  Hillbilies IC 10, Moroccan Night Club IC 10, 5 burpees for late PAX, Mosey back to tires.
The Workout:  YHC explained how the tire exercises would work. There were a few audible mumbles after explaining each exercise…but no questions.  Once the ME starts neither rocks nor tires touch ground.  Only if Q of group calls exercise to include the coupon, was it allowed to touch the ground.  So during the rotation PAX had to pass the coupon to the next group.  5 burpees per drop to be tallied up and done at end…a few more audible mumbles.  After a quick count off in groups of three we sent Group 1 to the Tires. Group 2 to the Rockpile and Group 3 went on an Indian run.  2 Rocks per PAX. This is was a shared leadership experience. Rock exercises from each PAX calls exercise for reps or cadence. Too many to list but the normal staples were done (Curls/press/row/abs/forearm) until Indian run group relieves. Group 1 got 3 rounds of Rocks exercises in. (the goal was 4 but time did not allow) Rock Group sprints up the parking lot and relieves the Big Tire Group.  Big Tire Group. 3 PAX per tire.  For each exercises the tire only touches the ground for #2. 1. Tire press / Squat Jumps (touch tire) 10 reps (modified hold above head or at chin if too heavy to press) 2. Flip & Drag Tire from cone to cone / Abs (2x) One PAX flips tire up to next cone then other man drags it back. The PAX that aren’t flipping or dragging do abs awaiting their turn. We found this one to be very challenging and needed to pick up the six on occasion.  3.Bench Press & Rows / plank hold IC 10 count One PAX benches tire while other PAX rows, odd man out does a plank hold IC.  4. Shoulder shrugs / Derkins 10 reps (not sure if any group got to this one due to time). Indian run group (timer group) middle circle ,stop sign down to main parking lot then down to the rock pile circle.  They replace Rock group, Rock group sprints up a replaces tire group, tire group does Indian Run. Repeat cycle.

Mary: 35 burpees for dropped coupons during the workout
Announcements: Banks Road AO starting back up on Mondays. Continue to sign up for spreading mulch at Bass Lake. Come out to the Nest for continued CO-Q Duel.
T-Claps (Recognition): Those that EC’d. Thanks to Breach and Sprinkler for assisting in the CO-Q. Great work on the clothing drive last week.
Prayer:  Quiver’s Family member dealing with COVID. 1st day of school and families dealing with the new logistics of managing. Pray to God for your objective in life.
