Bing was in town. It was a real good time.

Bing probably has a much more interesting version of all this, but suffice it to say, it was a good time. I went first half and Bing ended the hour. It’s not going to be a great backblast, but it will capture the fact that there were men there and what their names were. That’s gotta count for something…

WARMUP:
We did.

THE THANG:
We lifted some stuff. Then Bing made us do a lot of Bear Crawling and something called a “Pit of Misery”. Hateful stuff…

MARY:
No chicks.

Zombie Survival Training 2024

After a great deal of research it was time to train the PAX in the rules of surviving the zombie apocalypse
WARMUP:
Rule #7 – Limber up
Mosey around the concrete football field
10x Windmill
10x Cherry Picker
THE THANG:
Rule #1 – Cardio
Line up at the end of the painted field. PAX make their way across the field by alternating high knees and butt kickers.
PAX will drop to the ground for 2-count (always double-tap) mountain climbers equal to the count of the yard markers (ladder up to 50 and back down).

Rule #2 – Double Tap
DORA (done in pairs, double, double tap… yeah)
100 squat, 200 merkins, 300 LBC
Partner runs to 40 line and back

Rule #3 – Beware of Bathrooms
Al Gore for 60 seconds

Rule #7 – Travel Light
PAX will shuffle entire length of the painted field.

On the way down they will drop at every length marker for 10 double-count dying cockroach. (to fend off the zombies when they are forced to the ground).
On the way back they will drop to do 10 double-count flutters at every painted length marker.

Rule #17 – Don’t be a Hero
Bear crawl 4 lines (20 marker). Run back to the start adn back to the 20. Then bear crawl 4 lines (40 marker). Back to the start back to 40. Repeat until COT

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Lots of stuff going on. Happy Hour is doing a family 4k. There’s a Christmas party. Bourbon tasting. Convergences on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve
COT:
Circle of TRUST. Not prayer chain. What’s on our hearts that affects US. We talked about things that affected us, difficulty in our lives that we deal with as men. Revealing truths that, if kept secret, erode our ability to be leaders.
F3 is not a Christian organization but CoT was ended in a prayer by a christian.
