All I heard was run and push-ups

WARMUP: go
THE THANG: start from COT and run to school, up the hill with light posts, turn around at stop sign, and run back to COT.

Start out at 10k pace for first 1/4 mile, 1k pace for next 1/4 mile, then 25 merkins (so 25 merkins every .5 miles.

Rinse and repeat.

Looking at 3-5 miles for 150-300 merkins.

You’re welcome.

MARY: quick 30 seconds at the end.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter worthy
COT: Luka, family health, Grassy’s wife for some quick recovery!

Whetstone WOD

Disclaimer: By participating in an F3 workout, you assume the risks inherent in doing so. I am not a professional. F3 makes no representations of any kind regarding your safety. Asked to share about whetstone and my experiences, here we go…

1. DORA: Rebel
– challenged me in areas I struggle: alcohol, devoting time to my M, getting my family to Church consistently
– Asks for progress updates every time we meet
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Reporting Progress
+ 200 merkins
+ 200 big boys
+ 200 squats
+ 200 LBC’s
– Bear crawl/power-skips

2. Partner run: Pusher AKA Big Question Eddie
– pushes me to think bigger; act better
– Always comes back when I ghost, some may be shocked to learn that F3 didn’t immediately stick with me!!
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Big Questions
+ Run to 160 and back, ask big questions of each other: who’s your whetstone? Who could be your stone/blade? What do you need in a whetstone relationship?

3. Partner transport: Long Duck
– full of stories and antidotes to frame your mind for the positive, I.e. attitude card
– Carried me in some of my struggles with alcohol and anger
– Pours himself into others to help them and himself
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Carrying your man
+ partner carry, 2 laps
+ wheelbarrow, 1 lap
– repeat

4. Closing: Key takeaways
– find what you need in a stone, plus seek to share wisdom with a blade (it makes you a better man)
– Be open with them, get vulnerable
– You can have more than one stone, learn lessons from all relationships
– Find someone that sets the example for how to be a better man

Exercises included BB sits, Travoltas, Monkey Humpers, mode of transportation on paper was Toy Soldier, until Punchlist went to the crawl bear, many others followed suite (a spectacular example of modify as needed when there is an old slow guy on Q)
