My name was drawn to Q on my home turf of the Colosseum this fine, muggy Tuesday morning. It’s always nice to come home, even if the darkness keeps you from seeing a brother 2ft away. With all the Twitter-chatter about celebrity Q’s at neighboring AO’s, I wasn’t sure I’d have any more PAX than a few guys I’m going on a mission trip with. That thought was crushed as high beam after high beam rounded the corner and headed right toward us. Such a welcome sight!

Shout out to Santini for the EH at Church. Morgan, now Dirty Dozen, will likely not sit next to you again. After an FNG-friendly disclaimer (welcome Dirty Dozen), the 15 of us took off into the darkness and made our way to the warm-up.

Mountain Climbers
Carolina Dry Docks
Flying Squirrels
30 Second Step-Ups (each leg)

Abs (it’s never too soon):
100 LBC’s OYO then run the loop. After a few looks that implied I should know abs are at the end of the workout, I just told myself, they’ll eventually start…won’t they? Once you finish, do the long loop.
Kettle Bell-passing Russian Twists: Shoulder to shoulder, doing Russian Twists while passing a 35lb KB from end to another and back. Again, I got a few looks but…

Ongoing plank series:
Merkins into Oblique V-ups left into Dips into Oblique V-ups right
Peter Parkers into Oblique V-ups left into Dips into Oblique V-ups right

Mosey to the playground and skip most of the rest of the Weinkie:
12 Swing Knee Tucks
12 Pull Ups
12 Diamond Merkins
REPEAT

Mosey to the GHMS front wall for a prolonged wall-sit:
2 men do the walking gator merkin to the end of the line while the PAX wall sits. Go until everyone has a chance to gator-walk. Don’t forget to congratulate Cake Boss on his great form.

It’s never easy for an FNG to hold his own but our own Dirty Dozen did just that. He did so well that he received F3’s fastest name change. He was originally Baker’s Dozen but 30 seconds later, the guy who EH’d him, Santini, nominated Dirty Dozen. All in favor…AYE.

Announcements: 8/8 Gladiator Games, Pancake Fundraiser for the Colombia Mission trip, Golf Outing. Keep an eye on the ever-expanding list of AO’s and get out to support the new ones. 8/7 is the 3rd F Convergence at the Eternal office behind Zaxby’s for a talk with Principals and Teachers of our schools.

Prayer Requests: Pray for Rebel’s daughter and the procedure to remove wisdom teeth. Prayers for CSPAN’s daughter and her mission with CRU (Campus Crusade). Reach out to Cake Boss or CSPAN to learn more about what she’s doing in the name of Christ. Praise for Olivia’s 3rd birthday. Added prayer request for my family as my M’s business gets under way. Many hours are put into this venture and it can be stressful.

AYE!
