Chillin’ at The Fort

Leave a comment

Chilly morning at The Fort, five men showed up for the fun. We began with a lap around the park, stopping at each swing for some warm-up exercises.
We moseyed to the top parking lot for some dips and arm circles. Back down to the amphitheater for a Dora session – Merkins, Squats, LBCs. Next, fast lap around the park, stops at each swing, merkins, squats, and LBCs – 10 each. Added bonus, first one to arrive at swing had to do 5 burpees.
We finished up at the amphitheater with two laps around with boulder over head and sprints up the hill near the power plant.

At the end we all did a cute jump through a prop which is part of the Christmas decorations :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:

WARMUP:
20 SSH IC
10 LSS IC
10 HILLBILLY WALKERS IC
10 IMPERIAL WALKERS IC
10 MNCS IC
YOGA

THE THANG:
Mosey to the entrance of Pike Engineering for -2s of Derkins & Dips
Q3.10 Consistency – “The Consistent Leader is constant and regular in everything he does. His followers are drawn to him because his steadiness provides a safe harbor from the howling winds of Chaos and Flux that blow periodically through their own lives. He is their rock.”

Mosey to Print Shop for -1s of pull ups and knee ups.

Mosey to First Baptist Parking Lot
Plank it up – “Strong Routines are the framework of Consistency.” We in F3 know what to do. Wake up and exercise, everyday, We shouldn’t have to think about it, just do it. Remove unnecessary decisions, and create routines.
4 corners.
• First lap included 10 merkins at each cone
• Second lap included 20 squats at each cone
• Third lap included all of the reps – 10 merkins, 20 squats

A couple of teenagers stumbled upon us in the parking lot and joined in on the fun. We asked what they knew about F3 and appropriately answered “Yall are crazy.” A brief intro to F3 was given, and they were named Nastradamus and The Cobbler. Nastsradamus runs cross country and stayed with us to the next stop.

“The Virtuous Leader focuses on bandwidth not perfection.” Reminded the PAX that consistency will help minimize the flux in our life. This isn’t about perfection, but about limiting the lows in our life. The things that keep us away from a healthy lifestyle that enables us to lead.

Mosey to Massey Hill.
7s at the Massey Hill. CDDs and Peter Parkers.

MARY: Flutters to 0730hrs
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots – Beers for Beetus, Pints & Padres, Bourbon & BBQ, Christmas Party

Old school at the Fort

Leave a comment

The Fort is where it all started…need I say more. For many of the Pax of the Fort, this was their first post and it set the tone their journey since that time. While the Fort has multiplied many times over since it inception in 2012, this AO stands as the cornerstone for the culture, fellowship and brotherhood for our region.

YHC was excited to be asked to Q and while I had to navigate some calendar issues, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

In preparation for the Q, it was an easy decision to reach out to my Shieldlock brother, DD, to co-Q with me. He and I had been traveling this week and a beat down with some fellowship was just what the doctor ordered to remedy that jet lag.
