I thought it was just going to be Full House and I posting this morning because he threw out the only HC on Slack. Wild Turkey also commented he would try to make it. With BRR only 2 weeks over, 4PAX showing to U-Turn the day prior, cooler weather this morning, and the fact that it was a Sunday, I didn’t expect more than a couple guys including myself.  Full House and I went out for some EC prior to the ME and when we came rolling in and I saw more than a few PAX it made my morning.

FNGs:Â None
EC: Woody and U.T.I got caught up in quality mumblechatter and ended up with 2.5 mi. Nice.
Warm Up: Quick mosey to Center St(?) for Good Mornings, Frankenstein, Sir Fazio Arm Circles. I forgot to do a count-o-rama.
The Workout: Selfish is as selfish does. My workout schedule these days revolves around my training for the Holly Springs Half Marathon, and with my focus always on not overdoing it with my legs I used this opportunity to go balls out with upper body. As usual I lost track of what exactly I had planned and completely omitted any shoulder work but it seemed to work out just fine.
Start with some 11’s up and down Center St. Merkins at the bottom of the hill, squats at top. Wild Turkey rolled in late and joined us about 3 rounds in.
I invited a delivery driver to join us as we ran past him. He did not join us.
Mosey to the rock pile for medium/large-ish selections. Lined up on the sidewalk just next to the pile for curls for the girls, mosey around the traffic circle, back to rocks for skull crushers – 25 count each, I think. Mosey to starting parking lot, 25 standard merkins. Continue up Ballentine to the brick half wall for 25 dips, then return to starting parking lot for more merkins.
Repeato – Curls, traffic circle, skull crushers, mosey to merkins, mosey to dips
Repeato – Curls, traffic circle, skull crushers, mosey to merkins, mosey to dips.
Repeato – Curls, traffic circle, skull crushers, mosey to merkins, mosey to dips, return to merkins.
Woody chased a cyclist to the traffic circle. Did not catch him.
Mary: With just a couple minutes left, we squeezed 20 i.c. LBCs into Mary. No time for more, just the tip. Having completed, on our sixes, we took a few seconds to gaze upon the glorious clear sky, filled with bright twinkling stars. Heavenly.
Announcements: Holly Fest volunteer/F3 marketing opportunity coming up. No need to commit to the whole day, 30 min/1 hr slots will be available.
Prayer: Ricoh Suave’s friend – father/son team both on ventilators with China Flu. Gave thanks for another day, another gift.

Spine rotations, good mornings, Frankenstein kicks, sir fazio arm circles, daisy pickers

Warm Up: Â Good mornings, Frankensteins, SSH. Sweaty PAX ran EC – nice work.
The Workout: Â Pre blast called for a counter clockwise run around Bass Lake (~5 miles). Â Still recovering from a knee issue, I opted to add a ruck (~3 mile). Â Forceps rolled in three minutes late due to a dream which I heard and tried interpreting during our hike. Â Sometimes it is better just to listen and take things all in stride (pun intended). Â We saw the runners on Grigsby helping each out picking up the six. Lots of support and fellowship this morning
Mary: Â She wished Dauber Happy pre-birthday. 52.9999
Announcements: CarPex Q swap…show up in numbers this week!  help Pikachu move on Saturday.

Honored to lead. – Dauber. Thank you for the early birthday wishes brothers.
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.
There are lots of ways one might choose to celebrate the freedom that we so often take for granted. The F3 way is to have a brutal beatdown that serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free – it was purchased and preserved by countless patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 (NLT)
YHC is truly grateful for my F3 brothers who push me to become a better version of myself – physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks for the push to get through the 1,776 reps! Keep up the great work HIM and keep pushing each other!
