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: went over the basics: SSH, merkins, cherry pickers, low slow squats, windmills, couple back stretches
THE THANG: a you vs. you morning! Everyone grabbed a piece of chalk where we did AMRAP (as many reps as possible) for the following exercises in 2 min each (in between we ran about 150 yards and back in the parking lot of Panera).
Exercises were: merkins, squats, LBCs.

We wrote down our individual numbers after the 2 min were up. We then did a rinse and repeat but with not a lot of time remaining (total workout today was only 30 min), we cut our chalk numbers in half and the goal was to beat those numbers by 1, and have at least 1 min, or more, to do it.
MARY: didn’t leave time today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: high level newsletter updates and 10 yr “what’s going on”
COT: covered the basics of what COT was and closed out. Wrapped up the next 30-45 min with coffee answering “what makes F3, F3” questions and things the guys were interested in knowing!

It was hot and humid, first day all year as such.
We ran.
Some ran 3.4 miles.
At least one ran 5.5 miles.
At least one ran into a tree (it’s not a laughing matter)
At least one hung out by the bank and smoked Marlboro Reds (rumor has it)

Get off my lawn!

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
