Cletus – Four corners

7 Cletus PAX endured 400+ reps in a four corners workout that included legs, arms, core, and other fun exercises. We even (unfortunately) had time to do Motivatorsā„¢ļø at the end. Don’t know what those are? I hope you get to find out soon!

Coffeteria with the Crazy Ivan crew afterwards was a great time. Thanks for bringing that, BnB!

Well done, men!

Downtown Train to visit Dora

FNGs: none

Warm Up: some mosey, stretching, SSH, merkins

The Workout: jogged to the library for warm-o-rama. Easily knocked out the mission statement and five core principles, then ran past a tree with such a sense of purpose that it got scared and just fell over.

Thang 1:Ā 

Partner Dora- team goal of 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 Mtn climbers. One partner works on the man goal, other is a rotator.Ā 
Rotator exercises- jog across the back lot, pick a coupon of adequate size, 10 thrusters, 10 curls for the girls, 10 lunges

Dora was almost done, but time was running out, so we moved on to thang 2 after the first group finished the Dora (@bestinshow and @batboy)

Thang 2:Ā 

Group hill suicides. Group one runs to a designated mailbox and back on library hill, group two holds an exercise until the 6 is in.

3 rounds:

Round 1- second mailbox, plank hold

Round 2- third mailbox, plank hold

Round 3- fourth mailbox, squat hold

3/16/26 Train in the Rain

Six PAX arrived by 5:27 am when the rain got heavy. Blue Crush, Shooting Blanks, Best In Show, and Hasselhoff hopped out of their cars and embraced the suck. Vasoline already embraced a 4 mile EC. I hopped out, ducking, as if I could avoid the downpour.Ā We immediately ran to the parking deck and settle in.

WU: Exercises on the corners: SSH 25x, high knees 15x, arm circles 10x F/B, stretching OYO.

The PAX nearly nailed the F3 Mission Statement, but left out the word “community.” Three burpees–a light penance.

ME: B.L.I.M.P.S. = Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats

Ascending reps: 5, 10, 15, 20 with trips up the steps between sets.

Each PAX took a turn leading up the steps. To get some fresh air, Shooting Blanks and another exited at the upper deck and we circled around the long way to return to the lower level.

PAX helped me keep count up to 20 burpees.

Mary: Popcorn, ending at 6:15

Grateful for shelter of parking deck, but Hoff wanted ventilation to clear Vasoline’s gas.

COT: Prayers – Best in Show asked for prayers as he replaces the turbos on his truck

Gratitude for this day and Jesus.

Announcements: Run with Davis

Yogurt out.
