Who needs drill bits?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: pledge and run to WEP entrance…got in a few merkins and tree hugging while we waited for 6
THE THANG: we’re doing laps.

At the second swing bench you will stop for 10 merkins and 20 in cadence flutters. Run at a 1 mile pace to first swing bench and dial it back to 5k pace until you reach second bench…that’s pretty much about it.

What I noticed is I ran at the 1 mile faster pace most of the time so didn’t really follow instructions. Also ran low on 3 mile min so tried to have guys run at 3 swing benches but it was a little bit of a lost cause at the end. Headed back at 5:55.
MARY: old bay led some Mary at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: definitely
COT: for sho

The Zipper at Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

YHC was excited to join the Pax for Minnow Pond this AM. Prior to the workout, I looked over previous backblasts because I wanted to do the Zipper but wanted to see the level of exercises associated with it. I chose 4 exercises to mix in with the running and get a full body workout.

WARMUP:
Disclaimer, Pledge of Allegiance followed by a mosey to old Hardees parking lot. (Aside – does Fort Mill need a paid parking lot?)

THE THANG:
Run the Zipper which includes Spring Street and the associated side street with 10 merkins, Mtn climbers, squat jumps and big boys at each corner.

Run back to old Hardees at 5:55. Last group of exercises

MARY: Flutters, LBCs and Hello Dollies until the 6 arrives

Mosey home.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Dark Helmet as he takes the reins as Nantan of F3 Nation
Read the newsletter as we have lots of activity coming up

Chicken Nuggies

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful rainy morning after the superbowl. Thankful for all the PAX showing up. Quick disclaimer then we crossed 160 to Braden. Every time we passes the sign it was 12 merkins. Run down to the clubhouse for a simple plan in chicken nuggies increments:
6 burpees, 12 mtn climbers, 18 LBCs, run loop clockwise. Loop is up hill to sign, right down 160 to next Braden entrance, take a right and follow Emory back to clubhouse. 6 jump squats, 12 CDDs, 18 American Hammers, run loop in opposite direction. Keep repeating until time. Jog back to rainy COT. Gazelles got 5 loops in, others got less but everyone put the work in. Thanks for the nod Badlands!

Welcome to my TED Talk

Leave a comment

Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT
