Leave a comment

Everybody issued a soccer ball to keep for the duration.

Run with ball. Then hop with ball between ankles past all the fit freaks of f45.

Circle up w the usual, but make sure you include your ball.

Take a break and dribble ball around lot.

More circle of the usual.

Dribble ball again.

Hop ball back towards cot and engage in a crazy 8.

Mary.

Hop back towards cot and return your blue ball.

The end.

When you Q Block Party, Cubbie likes you to share your “why” because a man who has a “why” to live can bear almost any “how.”

My why is my desire to be reliable for those I love. I want to be able to carry the heavy things and the heavy burdens of my family and friends. F3 strengthens me physically, emotionally, and spiritually – making me resilient in the face of adversity.

Last month at Disney, my son and I were rushing to catch a bus from Hollywood Studios to Magic Kingdom. We had plans to meet my wife and daughter and this bus was the only way to get there on time. I could see it in the distance, loaded and ready to leave. I knew my 5-year-old’s legs couldn’t get there in time after a full day of walking, so I picked him up and ran to catch the bus (notching a couple kills on the way). Without F3, I’m not certain I would have made that move. This physical endurance is built by the Daily Red Pill.

To me, the COT is the best part of the workout. What we share is so valuable. We have the antidote to male loneliness in the form of genuine care and concern with a heavy dose of sophomoric humor and dynamic shame goading. It’s the perfect recipe for a man to feel included. Sharing our struggles lessens their effect and celebrating our wins doubles their impact. This is the mental and spiritual catalyst for impact and improvement.

So, what’s my “why?” You are. You make me a better man. You make me a better husband, father, friend, and leader. And that’s why I’ll keep coming for another 11+ years.

Aye!

All elbows

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, imp walkers, hillbilly walkers – all in cadence. Then we moseyed to nice grassy area to plank while instructions for the workout were given
THE THANG: 2 stations, one on each end of the building and one home base. Each station has a list of 6 assignments consisting of various exercises and rep counts. Pax alternate running to one station, then the other, doing one assignment at each stop. In between each is a stop at the home base for 5 makhtar n’daiyes – I think we ended up with 65 of those. We had a few mins left at the end, so did a wall sit until 6 and continued our conversation on various nighttime entertainment alternatives in Charlotte

You’re Living in a Relay

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH (of course/, seal jacks, mtn climber, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Windmill, mosey to Lowes

THE THANG: After a wandering mosey through Lowe’s Mulch Maze (think corn maze) without getting lost, we took advantage of a long tunnel of mulch for most of the rest of the way, relaying in two teams while mixing in all sorts of exercises and modes of transport. We transitioned to the end of strip center where Cindy was waiting our arrival for some People’s chair while passing Cindy along and back.

The relay theme was relevant to D2D on Saturday as well as the generational relay we all live within — things we picked up from prior generations of family and things we pass on to future generations. Pax swapped perspectives on their experiences. What have you inherited? What are you passing on?

MARY: only time for Plank Jacks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March 1 farewell for Battle Bot at Alcatraz, March 14 convergence, March 15 Jaeger
COT: prayers for Battle Bot’s move, struggling kids/parents

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer loosened up the vocal cords
THE THANG: run out Richard Crossing to Front St, turn left to Berkshire, so 2 laps, return on Front/Richards Crossing

Message at end referred to 33 yr anniversary for me/M last wk and question from Pirate about what was the hardest phase. As Cyclops would say “all of them” AND they’ve also ALL been the best phase. How can you adjust your mindset to “both/and” and away from the “either/or” nature our culture seems to impose?

MARY: nope, she stayed in fartsack
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March 14 convergence, March 1 final Battle Bot Q at Alcatraz
