First "mile" = Burpees followed by a lap, 4 total starting with 20, then 15, then 10, then 5

Second mile = Shoulder taps in cadence followed by a lap with similar pace partner(s), 4 total with same rep #s as before

Third mile = Sumo squats with slowest group starting first then middle group, then speedsters, only time for one lap so group 20 or 30 or 40 reps together depending on when they started the lap

Run home

MARY: 2 mins

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Beers for Beetus on 10/24 at Print Shop

COT: prayers for aging parents/inlaws, college age 2.0s, family and friends battling cancer and their caregivers

Strong effort today by all pax with terrific temps around 50 at launch. Everyone took advantage and pushed hard.

Simple weinke with spotlight on importance of looping in a partner (or more than one) when life gets tough and when adversity extends for a long stretch. Don't do life OYO!

Thanks for the hard work by all and the invite from brother Pauly!

Noah’s Ark – Just the Animals.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: very warm already

THE THANG: mosey around the islands of parking. Stop at one side and establish our workout area. The theme is Noah’s Ark so we did as many animal related workouts as we could do (and do it twice) because there were no solo animals. All exercises incorporated getting from one end of the lot to the other across 9 parking spaces.
First up
Alligator walk across the lot and back
25 monkey humpers on either end
Kangaroo hops (broad jumps )
Bunny hop
Take a mosey lap
Next
Animal related stretching
Down dog
Scorpion (down dog with leg up and over)
Flying squirrel
Arm circles (Eagle wings)
Row boats (to save yourself)
Last up
Crab walk
Duck walk
Gorilla shuffle (sideways)
Penguin walk

(Forgot inch worms)

MARY: flutter kicks and dying cockroaches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes

FORTeen Years

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 14 Burpees
THE THANG: Mosey to center of WEP

Pax rotated into center based on year of 1st post (ie Class of 2026, 2025, 2024, etc). Varied exercises were performed by all including Burpees, Partner Derkins, Squats, Sumo Squats, SSH, Mtn Climbers, Mahktar N'Dyiae, Flutters, Freddys, Monkey Humpers, etc

Pax sprinted home for the finish.

MARY: She participated during the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Shelters service

COT: Yes, of course, 5th Core Principle

The pax came early and stayed late to celebrate this Community of Brothers we call The Fort. For 14 years, men have posted in the Gloom of WEP and other wonderful sites throughout FM/TC (and in Rock Hill, Clover/LKW and now Chester) to sharpen each other, to hone leadership skills, and to prepare themselves and each other to tackle the ups and downs Life will regularly throw their way.

The number of men who've stood at COT in The Fort over these years exceeds 2,000. And roughly 200 pax keep the flame burning in 2026. Their continued participation is an individual choice, one they can't not keep making because, as they shared, they've found brotherhood, community, belonging and accountability in The Fort.

Who will be standing in COT in 2036 or 2046? Anybody? Nobody? You? Your son or son-in-law or grandson?

As Band Camp shared, we Get To make this choice. Each man stands apart from the general crowd in our culture in making this choice. And yet, each man of The Fort is no better than any other man who lives among us. All men are made of the same fiber in the same image of our Creator. As Dark Helmet said, every man is needed in the leadership mission required to bring to fruition the world our Creator intended. So stay in the game. Find the next man and bring him into the fold. Because 14 years of history only matters if we continue to bring Impact to men and our broader community today, tomorrow, next week and next year. #KeepPosting

The credo of F3 is leave no man behind but leave no man where you found him. In that spirit, pax stayed together at all four corners performing the following exercises at each corner in cadence unless otherwise specified:

Merkins
Squats
Lunges
Burpees

Corner 1 – 5 reps of each and NUR to corner 2 – burpees were OYO
Corner 2 – 10 reps of each and bear crawl to corner 3 – burpees were OYO
Corner 3 – 15 reps of each at NUR to corner 4 – Time Machine graciously asked for in cadence 6 count burpees, YHC obliged.

Corner 4 – 20 reps of each with flying squirrels OYO instead of burpees

2 10 counts, a reminder of the credo and a mosey to the light poles

Light pole 1 – 10 LBC's in cadence
Light Pole 2 – 10 Rosalitas in cadence
Light Pole 3 – 10 Hello Dollys in cadence
Light Pole 4 – Plank with salutations for a total of one minute
Light Pole 4 – 10 incline merkins in cadence

Mosey to COT for a 45 second body destroyer at Bird Cage's gracious request.

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read you newsletter. Immediate need for Bethel on 10-1.
COT: 5th Core principle
NMM: Q-school provides us the opportunity to give the PAX a look at how to lead a workout. Choosing our credo as the theme today was not accidental. This credo creates an opportunity for tremendous impact in our lives and in the communities we serve. We show up for the man next to us and benefit as a result, taking another step in becoming #thatsomebody in our homes, neighborhoods, communities and world. How are you living out that credo in your life? It starts with the 2-3 people you will influence today.

Thanks for the opportunity, Pauly D.
