20 and 12

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
THE THANG: mosey to the church of god parking lot where the pax did a few Freddy mercuries while they waited for the six (me) to arrive.

From there we did the cross workout. Run out to one of four points and then back to the middle. Each time we arrived at a point, we did 20 flutters (count one leg only), and each time we arrived back to the center, we did 12 merkins. The four outer points were the parking lot at the top of the hill, the small lot across from the old police station, the lot at the top of Monroe white st where the old town hall (and the old phone company) is, and the intersection of confederate and Forrest st.

One wrinkle was coming back from the Forrest street point, we climbed the stairs of the church of god activity building and did 12 derkins with the aid of their picnic tables

Mileage requirements for the morning were exceeded

ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots going on life of f3

Don’t Forget the Flowers!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Cohiba’s attempt at the F3 Mission flopped so we started with 10 burpees flower by SSH and some other moves. Then we set off on a field trip.
THE THANG: Pax covered 2 ish miles today with stops at Town Hall, Courtyard fka as Pike Electric, Millstone Park, Veterans Park, WEP playground. At each stop, pax took turns naming an exercise of choice and passing a Valentine to another pax. That pax got to draw one of 5 cards which led to the # of reps:

All hearts today
10 = 10 reps
Jack = 15 reps
Queen = plank while chosen pax shares Valentine’s Day wisdom learned the hardway (through Failure)
King = 20 reps
Ace = 25 reps

We moseyed home after the playground
MARY: yes, a few mins at the end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam, trash pickup
COT: prayers for health for several, job searches

A great morning of movement and fitness including many reps and many burpees. The pax were frisky and playful like a bunch of puppies, and the mumblechatter was strong throughout.

One of the many things I love about F3 is the multigenerational nature, and we had pax from 38-59 today. The span of age, geographic origins and backgrounds provided wide ranging experiences around the topic of romance and the Valentine’s Day holiday. Grateful for the enthusiasm, wisdom and humor everyone brought!

Parking lot Donuteeria was a success as well. Who’s gonna turn that into the norm?

Thanks for the invite JWOW and your solid leadership of our flagship AO!

Q-Fusion

Leave a comment

A litte Q-fusion this morning at <#C02PK4V7WLV>. I noticed several Pax running around the AO before kick-off time. Most getting some extra miles before the Dam to Dam relay. I noticed <@U5Y5JA02G> running and I thought I had seen his name of the Q Line-up for the Catawba Ridge AO (whatever the new name is).
After clearing up the Q-Fusion, we started with a mosey around the parking lot. We stopped a few times for Toy Soldiers, Butt Kickers, and Knees to Chest. we made our way to the band parking lot for the first phase:
– Bear crawl out to 10, 2 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 20, 4 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 30, 6 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 40, 8 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 50, 10 burpees, run back to start

Next, same markers, except run out, 10 SSH (+10 each marker), Nur back to start.
Last set, same marker, run, 10 squats, nur back to start.

Next, we moseyed to pull-up bars. 5s – 1 pull up, 4 squat thrusters, increase pulls +1, decrease squats -1
Rinse and Repeat
Finished off with a Jack Webb

Good to see some new faces. we had a out of town visitor and a Kotter.
Great job guys

Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.
