23 pax saw the marketing campaign put on by YHC.  They were either a victim of pressing the flesh at a recent COT, checked out the media notifications on Twitter, or got text shamed.  And all of them showed up anyway!!!  Most probably thought – ‘Hey, Crab Cakes is always at the six.  How bad can it be?’.  Others thought – ‘Hey, it’s #BlockParty we never touch the grass anymore.’  All left rethinking what’s possible at #Block Party.

YHC wanted the pax to understand what we have here.  #BlockParty has been around a while.  We’ve been there a million times.  Every possible workout.  Every field.  Every parking lot in the 3 mile radius.  Every hill.  Every sidewalk.  Can seem a little stale.  But remember!  If it was all taken away – bet you would want it back.  It’s time to APPRECIATE what we have here at #TheFort.  Appreciate your pax to the left and to the right of you.  Appreciate your M, your 2.0s, your job, your health, your home, this community!  Ask our brother Solid State who had to move away and is trying to get it going in the Great White North.  Bet he’d love to run, and sweat, and get better around Walter Elisa Park and Downtown Fort Mill.  We must APPRECIATE, men.  It will add to your joy.

With that we set forth together for a #Six led workout.

The Thang:

Little baby job to the 160 lot for dynamic warmup.

High Knees

Butt Kickers

World Wide Leaders (trademark)

Dying Soldiers (apparently too “dynamic” for some)

There – you’re warmed up.  Little baby job to the Veterans Lot.

Socrates has a good memory (“Last time we were here he made us do burpee broad jump across the field.” Sounds like a great idea!)

Burpee Broad Jump across the field (Crowd Pleaser!)

Get into four groups, spread out and face the road for OVER/UNDERS

Jail Break to COT

 

Well done, gentlemen!  That was a good one.  Thanks to DD for inviting me to Q.  Truly an honor to lead such a great group of men.  Thanks to everyone for showing up and pushing through.  Great mumble chatter.  I appreciate each and every one of you and F3 Nation for what it’s done for me and my family.

Aye!
