There was a Frog

Disclaimer Disclaimed
Mosey to Theatre for Warm Up

Socratic – Are some men born to be lone wolves?
Spur – Man hunts best in a pack.
We see best from 9 through 12 to 3 o’clock, but we cannot see our 6. We are blind to our 6. We need others to help cover our 6. This horizontal relationship helps all the members of the pack.
WARMUP:
25 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
10 MNC IC
10 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga

THE THANG:
Socratic – Do communities benefit when men combine?
Spur – Men recognize the Advantage of mutual defense.
Men recognize the benefit of community. A HIM locks his shield with other HIMs to protect the people behind the wall.

The Thang – Ladder Work across parking lot with Bear Crawls in between. Eliminated the last exercise each round. All Reps were completed.
5 Burpees
10 Bomb Jax
20 Merkins
30 Squats
40 LBCs
50 Monkey Humpers

Socratic – Can a man begin the fight against adversity before he encounters it?
Spur – Acceleration of the Shield Lock requires Preparedness

Cheese and Bear Shredder Block Party

Mentioned the core principles and mission of F3
WARMUP: Ran up the hill across the street of the AO to the parking lot and began the Warmup consisting of SSH, Windmills, Morrocon NC, Imperial Walkers, and Strawberry Pickers
THE THANG: We began with the Cheese Shredder and then went into the next exercises as follows:
From the first light pole, we would do Burpees in a ladder starting with one Burpee and went to the last light pole and did 10 Mountain Climbers. The mode of transportation between the light poles for the first round was a Bear Crawl. Then we ran back to the first pole and continued to 2 Burpees and went to the last pole and did 20 Mountain Climbers with the mode of transportation as Lunges. So, we completed 8 rounds of these exercises in the above pattern with the mode of transportation in Round 3 as Crawl Bear, Round 4 as Crab Walk and rinse and repeat the modes for Rounds 5-8. At completion of Round 8, we ran back to COT.
MARY: Not enough time

A few proud gents doubled down during AKA and took advantage of the run/ruck option. Battle Bot was especially excited to be back at his first weekday AO in about a month by having us enjoy his 60 lb coupon.

Praises for Double D’s Jane and her marriage to Tarzan. Prayers for Spitz on the loss of his mother. :pray:

Jack and Dan

We had 14 men show up at the Minnow Pond flag this morning. @funhouse carried the flag to the AO this morning from his house. @cakeboss launched early continuing his Boston marathon training. After the pledge, we began the journey around town.

1st stop, the pharmacy on 160: Exercise – Jack Webb – 10/40 count (merkins/ O/H Claps)
2nd stop, WEP: Exercise – Ltn Dan – 10/40 count (Squats/Lunges)
3rd stop, Naz Church : Exercise – Jack Webb – 11/44 count.
4th stop, Parking lot across from Little Caesars – Ltn Dan – 11/44 count.
5th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 12/48 count.
6th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 12/48 count.
7th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 13/52 count.
8th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 13/52 count.
9th stop, parking lot (Watson St): Exercise – Jack Webb – 14/56 count.
10th stop, Footloose: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 14/56 count.
11th stop, Main Street: Exercise – Jack Webb – 15/60 count.
12th stop, COT: Exercise- Ltn Dan – 15/60 count.

Full disclosure: I didn’t feel the workout was difficult enough. I thought I had a great idea to combine running with a Jack Webb and Ltn Dan exercise at each stop, but it just didn’t cut it. We came up short on mileage. We did stick together and figured out some of the more difficult grammatical challenges. If you are like me, I go back to the drawing board and try to do better next time.
