12 strong showed up for a little Laces In/Laces Out at WEP.  While 2 headed off to go yogging (soft “j” – which apparently is just running for an extended period of time) the remaining 10 decided it was a good idea to check out some of Fort Mill’s finest parking lots.

The Thang:

Little baby jog to the top of the hill grassed over gravel parking lot.

IW x 20

Windmills x 20 (remember when these were a rare novelty?  now they are done at EVERY SINGLE WO…..you’re welcome)

LBJ to the lot in front of the wall

Mountain Climbers x 20

Peter Parkers x 20

Parker Peters x 20

Low Slow Squat x 20

LBJ to the vistor’s lot along 160

Let’s try this cycle out – max perfect pushup (PER-fect pushup) then run up along the sidewalk and then down and around back to where we started.  Try this 3 times.  It *should* get harder with each turn.  O2 level running low.  Uh-oh.

LBJ to the Veterns Parking lot

Let’s try this combination out – bearcrawl/sprint/bearcrawl/sprint along the light poles on 160.  Let’s try it again.  Let’s try it another time after that.  Well technically it *wasn’t* going to do itself…..so we had to do it.  10-counts all around.

LBJ to the back bank parking lot along the cut-through

Let’s try a flat jacobs ladder – run to other side of the parking lot and do 7 burpees.  Run back and do 1 bombjack.  Then repeat until you do 1 burpee and 7 bombjacks.  How was that?  Awful?  O.k. just curious.

LBJ back to the light poles along 160

Let’s try out a suicide using the lightpoles.  You know what?  Let’s try that one more time.  Why?  Because I’ve blown through my Weinke and I can’t think straight right now.  #O2depleted  Anyone up for a 10-count?  New guy?  Sure.  Everyone gets a 10-count.

LBJ down 160 to the front parking lot facing WEP

Remember that max push up thing?  Let’s try that here with the run being around the island.  Awful again, right?  Let’s do it two more times.  Did I say we were going to do it for 10 minutes?  How about 7 because no one can breathe.  I know!?  Ab exercises!  Let’s do a couple to finish this thing off.  LBC’s, Dolly’s, Flutters?  Sure.  Alright then.  2 minutes to spare.  Let’s head back to COT.  All you got?  Sure.  What do I have?  Nothing left.

COT

Moleskin:

Great work by all the pax.  Too many #LarryBirds to name.  Thanks for letting me lead (from the 6 mostly) such a great group of men.  It is always an honor. 

Here is the power of F3 in my life.  Was talking with Dugger after the COT and realized that when available to attend an F3 workout I post 99% of the time.  When I have time to workout #SadClown style – I post 1% of the time.  If it wasn’t for F3 I simply would not have much in all 3 F’s.  It’s an amazing thing that we need to share with all men in our community.  Let us form a real life Army for Good.

Convergence at the Patriot in Rock Hill on Saturday May 2nd.  All other AO’s will not meet.  Dredd and OBT to be there.  Do not miss it.

2nd Annual Cannoli Run on Saturday May 16th  at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church.  50% of the proceeds go to the Fort Mill Care Center.  It’s part of our Italian Festival.  Check it out at spnitalianfestival.org.  Great opprotunity for 2nd F with the M and 2.0s.  Let’s push the 2ndF gentlemen!  (side note – they have really good dark Italian beer….haven’t found it anywhere else)

Prayers for sick familty members and the sudden loss of life that can even strike our most unsuspecting family/friends.  Gives us motivation to concentrate on the important things in life while we are on (as Dredd likes to say) the #BigBall.

Praise for how adoption can change many lives for the better.  Incredible example of #LivingThird.  Also time to celebrate birthdays for the 2.0s – they start to go by quickly even if you have 10 kids!  Really?  10?!  Wow.

Per CSPAN:  Be a better man today then you were yesterday.

AYE!
