Mary
Great morning with even better chatter with even better better tunes. We ran a bit more than Snake Pit is used to but we ate better for it.
Aye!
WARMUP: dynamic and static movements
THE THANG: start with 50 of each for first set. Merkins, squats, lbc’s, cdd’s, alternating lunges, flutters. 10 burpees, Followed by lap around parking lot, hold plank for the 6. Repeat but drop reps to 40. We got in 3 rounds. Solid work by all. Proper form was highly encouraged.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read news letter
COT:talked with 2 passerby’s about what we are about. Give it away…
While I tagged the entire PAX from both AOs, the BB is only for Bushwood.
WARMUP: Essentially non-existent. We ran to the bottom of the hill on the backside of the school. We then NUR’d about 75 yards back up the hill then ran back down to the benches for 30 Derkins. We then did 15 pull-ups, ran to the stop sign, NUR’d back for 15 more pull-ups & planked for the 6.
THE THANG: Run back to the parking lot for the deck of cards:
For the 1st-Timers, each suit is an exercise and each card represents the reps (Ace=14).
Hearts: Jump Squats
Diamonds: Diamond Merkins
Spades: Carolina Dry Docks
Clubs: V-Ups
For the other 4 cards, ya know, the ones that have the ads or some other nonsense on them, those were 25 American Hammers I/C.
MARY: Included in the above.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the NYT article, watch (record) Fox News at midnight tonight for additional F3 sharing. Be grateful for this brotherhood and welcome the FNGs.
COT: You had to be there.
14 HIMs gathered with YHC on this cool morning at the Armory to celebrate a return to a KB workout for me. Some came to celebrate, some came to ridicule and some were just curious. Nonetheless, I was prepared with a Weinke and ready to get after it and get better.

Uhaul started the music with a request for 80’s rap. Some glorious songs were played. Thanks Uhaul!

Ten year celebration came to a close this morning with a convergence at WEP. 12 men came earlier for a run to support Operation Sweet Tooth. 84 men attended the main event with three great HIM leading the workout: CSPAN, Maximum, and WWL. No warm-ups this morning. CSPAN took his group around the block with various stops along the way. Seven reps of Flying Squirrels, Merkins, and Sit-ups. WWL had playtime at the playground. Burpees and Pull-ups along with running fast around the playground. Did I mention Power Skips? Maximum had a simple plan. Run backwards up the hill many times and destroy your abs with American Hammers.
We closed the chapter on the first 10 years.
Monday begin the next.
The future is bright.
How will you contribute to the next 10 years?
Make an impact.
WARMUP: None
THE THANG: 3 mile run, 60 burpee’s, 120 big boys
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack
COT:corporate prayer
WARMUP: not really the thing to do at Minnow Pond. Come at 0510 if you want a warmup
THE THANG: run, hard.
first stop – 1 merkin, 1 squat
2 merkins, 2 squats
Keep adding each time we stop
often we kept adding reps till the 6 was in. Then we took off again. PAX were advised to mosey when the group left and not worry about completing all the reps. Most hit 4 miles
Macgyver, Bones, and Badlands got out in front of me around mile 2 and Grout eclipsed me after mile 3. I always seem to push myself a little harder when I’m on Q at minnow pond. We have some strong and fast PAX in the Fort.
NMM: The idea was for the PAX to not know how far we were going or when we would stop. And that when we did stop, there’d be work to do. Just like our work lives that take us to new locations….
Seamstress had no idea when he came to FM that he’d be called to move so soon. Nor does he know when he’ll be called away again. Many PAX expressed gratefulness for the impact he had on us and prayers of blessing were offered (are still being offered) for his move to Chattanooga
WARMUP:
Four Lines: Toy Soldiers, Butt Kickers, High Knees, mosey with Q to first of four rotations
THE THANG:
