Take Your Kid to The Yard Day

A moderately cooler morning greeted the PAX as we circled up and exchanged pleasantries.  YHC has gotten the word out that he’d be bringing his 13 y/o 2.0 to the workout and encouraged others to do the same.  It was great to see 4 other young bucks in the circle as well.  Atticus, Chicken Hawk, and Old Bay each had their 2.0 + a visiting cousin (FNG Mogul).  That was all well and great until Vernon arrived and announced “what is this, take your kid to work day”?  No offense was taken but that lit a fire in YHC and it was decided that this would not be a F3 Dads workout.  It might not even be moderate.  Let’s see…

THE THANG

Mosey to COP at back of school.  Old faithful warm-ups in cadence consisting of SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, MNC, Plank Jacks, with a plank series thrown in here and there.

Mosey to the basketball goals for 4 Corners of deconstructed burpees.  1st corner – 20 squats.  2nd corner – 20 merkins, 3rd corner – 20 bombjacks, 4th corner 10 burpees.  A simple rinse and repeat was planned but we ended up doing this 3X (crowd pleaser!) due to some Santini chirping.  Good times!

Next we gathered at the brick wall for 3 series of peoples chair and squat jumps.

A few 10 counts were called then we lined up by the curb facing the courts.  Bear crawls to the first light post and back.  Repeat with lunge walks and toy soldiers.

Mosey to the back of the school with the circular drive for what turned out to be Dora 1,2,2.  Partner up and 1 runs while the other starts aggregate exercise:  100 big boy sit ups / LBC, 200 SSH, 200 squats.

6 minutes of Mary led by the PAX.  Completed were various amounts of LBC, Hello Dolly, Rosalita, Flutters, Box Cutters,  etc.

Moleskin

YHC’s oldest 2.0, Captain Snooze, has been attending Saturday workouts this summer.  He’s getting stronger and F3 is helping him develop confidence and an understanding of true brotherhood.  What a blessing!  No better way to raise a HIM than to surround him with just that.  I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the PAX encouraging, joking with, and getting to know my son.  I’m looking at you Pusher, Santini, Old Bay, Chicken Hawk, Cake Boss, Bubba Gump and others.  Snooze wasn’t ready to lead the warm-up this week but his time is coming!

Announcements / Prayers

Read the newsletter.  AO’s changing, new 3rd F group starting, 3rd F Convergence, it’s all in there.

Prayers were lifted for sick family members, upcoming Colombia Mission Trip, and for strong marriages and families.  The summer has flown by and school is nearly here.  Make the most of your time, you don’t get it back.

AYE!
