Five intrepid PAX ventured out into the gloom on a rainy Friday morning.
The Thang:
Warmup jog down to Empire Pizza parking lot with the usual shakeout of high-knees, butt-kickers, and some karaoke before circling up.
COP:
SSH x 20
IW x 20
WA Merkins x5
CDD x 20
Mountain Climbers x 10
SSH x 20
Peter Parker x 10

Parker Peter x 10
With the Labor Day double-down running of the Murph approaching, YHC thought a Slow Burn moderate Murph would be in order:
2 laps around the AO (roughly .5 miles)
50 Supine Pull-ups
100 Merkins
150 Squats
2 more laps around the AO to complete the mile.
Bring it home to CFA for COT
Moleskin
Everybody was up for a moderate Murph despite the rain (or maybe because of it though it had tapered off a bit during the workout) and pushed hard. A virtual Jekyll trophy goes to Backdraft who did extra credit of 70 pullups, 140 merkins, and 210 squats plus an extra 2 laps around the AO for a full 1.5 miles. Well done.
Gridlock and YHC had a conversation about pre-workout fueling during the second leg of the run. He chose to forego eating, while I prefer a Cliff bar and possibly a banana 30-60 minutes before. Got me wondering what other PAX eat (or don’t) before a F3 workout? Sound off in the comments.
Programming note: Slow Burn regular time/location next week (8/8). Game Plan will be monthly #F3BibleChallenge update at Eternal Church @ 6:15, with guest speaker Dee Christopher. See Pusher for details.

– CampCare 5k 9/6

Prayer requests for family, PAX on the IR, and unspoken.
Brothers,
Sorry, I missed the fun this morning. M & 2.3 needed a ride to the airport. Moderate Murph sounds like #CSAUP, and I wish I could have raced Back Draft after spending Thursday chasing MacGyver.
+ Nice back blast…and even posted before lunch.
+ Who can eat before a workout…? I would spill as soon as we started sprinting, always seem to go faster on an empty tank…just always works for me.
Catch you next Friday & Catch you at RH Saturday, I got the Q with Posh.
First off, thanks for the timely BB, Jeff. There are PAX on the IR whose only way to follow and stay motivated is through the social interaction on the interwebs… so thanks. It means a lot.
When I am healthy again (one day… depends on the hip MRI), I will crush my GU Energy Gels every pre-post. They seem to do the job.
Man… I miss The Gloom. The value of F3 brotherhood is magnified when you simply cannot be a part of it.
Aye.
