Double Deuces at The Corral

NO RAIN!!! I used my super secret weather control satellite, that the conspiracy theorists say the government has, to turn it off just in time for 0515 start. All that did was ramp up humidity though. Back to the drawing board on that….
WARMUP: Quick jaunt to the roundabout median down Stockbridge Dr towards the apartment complex. In the circle median, circle up for the following (everything 4 count):
– 15 SSH
– 10 WM
– 15 IW
– 15 MNC
– 10 strawberry pickers
Then mosey through the apartment complex to the other roundabout, with the fountain, and to the corner of the apartment complex entrance at Grant Farm Dr for…..
THE THANG:
Pendulum 22s
The apartment complex entrance at Grant Farm Dr, near the water fountain, is ‘home base’. We will be doing 11s, but up both hills on Grant Farm Dr, the pendulum, so it is 11s x 2 = 22s. Do the exercise at home base, run up the hill towards 160 to the fire station, do the exercise at the fire station, then back down to home base, do the exercise again at home base, then run up the other hill to to exercises at the corner of Palmdale Walk Dr and Grant Farm Dr. Then run back down to home base. That is one round. In form of 11s, you start off at 1, 10, 1, 10, then round 2 is 2, 9, 2, 9, then round 3 is 3, 8, 3, 8. Continue all the way to 10, 1, 10, 1. Exercises are:
– Home base – 10 LSS hand touch to ground
– Fire station – 10 merkins
– Palmdale Walk corner – 10 CDDs

If you got all the way to the end, you end up doing 110 LSS, 55 merkins, and 55 CDDs, and about 3.2 miles with hills. That was a burner!

Senator Tressel and Autobahn finished it. Myself and Half Shell got to starting the last round. GREAT PUSH by all!!

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the newsletter, get involved.
COT: Alot lifted up.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead! SYITG

Billy Madison Loop

6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:

– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

NMM
When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.

Aye!

Are you able to pivot when an obstacle is in the way

WARMUP: SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, Peter Parker’s, Parker Peters, arm circles, Moroccan nightclubs

Amphitheater 10 in cadence burpees we were suppose to go to playground but with not knowing about construction we pivoted to multiple stops around WEP for lunges, hand release merkins, and American hammers. Finished off at wall for step ups, derkins and dips.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: marriages, addictions, and family changes that cause dynamics in the home.
COT: early into the workout the site Q asked to share my “why I do F3” it is simple because of you all. I was definitely a sad clown about 12 years ago when 2 guys were coaching my sons soccer team. I would drop him off and then go for a run. They asked if I ever heard about this workout group called F3. I said I’ll think about it. 1 day later when going to get a haircut I ran into another guy he said let me tell you about this group I’ve been working out with called F3. As a new believer ( I had been agnaustic until this time) I knew God was putting men into my life to change my perspective on life and him. Because of the men I have met and that have given me so much I want to give back to each of you and to men that have not been introduced to what we have. I know I am not the best at getting guys to come out but I love getting to walk in life with all of you that are coming out and that bring others to the gloom. Love you all.
