Fourteen of Rock Hill’s finest gathered at ManU Thursday morning for a brisk workout. The mumble chatter was strong throughout the workout, which led to lots of laughs and lots of good 2nd F.

Warmup:

Mosey the long way from the COT over to the fountain (down to Panera, around the parking lot in front of Dick’s Sporting Goods, back to the fountain).

SSH x 25 (Apache and Burgundy start mumble chatter)

Windmill x 10

Moroccan Night Club x 25 (Italian Job joins in at this point)

Merkins x 10 (in cadence)

Moroccan Night Club x 25

Mosey over to the hill behind Ross/TJ Maxx

CrawlBear up the hill (Bear Crawl backwards), doing a merkin with each step. Rinse and Repeat. Lots and lots of mumble chatter at this point. Definitely a favorite of the PAX.

Mosey over to the park. Someone arranged for it to be lit this week, thanks Rock Hill PRT!

Met beside the pond to do the following:

Swing Merkins with knees to chest x 10

Burpees x 20

Merkins x 30

Squats x 40

Calf raises x 50

Squats x 40

Merkins x 30

Burpees x 20

Swing Merkins with knees to chest x 10

Run 1 lap.

At this point, I thought we’d be able to rinse and repeat–but instead we got the 6 and moved on to the COT for a few other things…

At COT, we attempted a new song workout with the song Happy. It was supposed to go like this: Each time the phrase, “Clap along if you feel…”, the PAX were to do a clap plank with a partner, and then when it switched to the word Happy, the PAX were to jump up and give their partner high five. Unfortunately, it failed spectacularly.

So after an audible, we switched to doing Sally. After Burgundy and Tinker Toy wowed us with their abilities to not sweat throughout the song, it was time for COT.

Prayers for strength as leaders, continued growth, folks with Cancer.

It was an honor to lead these men. Its hard for me to believe that its been a year since I first posted to F3. (1 year will be 1/21). So much has changed for me…

I thought I was in good physical shape because I could run a 5k…I realized I could do so much more.

I thought I was a good leader for my family and at work…I realized I could do so much more.

I thought I had lots of friends…I realized that I needed brothers.

I thought I could do so much on my own…I realized I can’t do anything without SkyQ and brothers holding me accountable.

I thought things should be easy…I realized nothing worth doing is easy, and that’s what makes it fun when you accomplish it.

I could go on and on…but the fact is that I’m so grateful to my brothers at @f3rockhill and @f3thefort for everything.

Schrute out!
