Bring Your Wife to F3 Day

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Shady led the Pax out of Runde Park to the circle at the end of Windward Drive for windmills, cherry pickers, yoga type back stretches,Peter Parkers and Parker Peters. The Pax then ran back to Runde and met up at the parking lot.
THE THANG:
Shady gave each man a tennis ball and instructed us to write our wives’ first initial on the ball. That ball would stay with us for the rest of the workout.

Dora with your wife as your partner. From the playground, we did the following exercises and ran to the back of the basketball court and back between each set.
50 pullups (set of 10)
100 decline merkins (set of 20)
150 step ups were planned, but we ran out of time.

Hand off to Senator
Circle up on the right ball field

Lt Dan (1 knee tar jai, 4 squats) to 10 (crowd pleaser)
Line up along the concession stand wall for people’s chair. While the rest of the Pax sat, 2 ran to the outfield fence, hopped over, ran up the hill, did 3 burpees, and ran back
Balls to the wall hold for 20 secs, move to 1/2 way down for 20 secs

Return to the circle for the <@UJGS2BBQD> killer hip flexor routine

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Trash pick up today on route 21 (thank you <@U0617222M3M> for your continued commitment to this). Jaeger next week, various other (READ YOUR NEWSLETTER)

COT:
Prayers for <@U686LEPLH> in the loss of his mom. Another Pax in the loss of his father. We prayed for several family members and friends of the Pax with cancer and other serious ailments. Prayers for safe travels for <@UN6PTD007> and his family to WI.

<@UGRNYPPUM> always brings something unique to his Qs, and his idea of having a tennis ball with our wives’ initials was a good reminder of how lucky we are to have our spouses. YHC and Shady picked up the Q spot as last minute subs for our friend <@UN3JKG18C> who will be handing off site Q duties in two weeks. Thank you for your leadership, my friend. It was a beautiful morning at Runde and always a pleasure to lead the Pax on Saturday mornings. We are truly lucky Men of the Fort!

Little push, little pull

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Light rain was in the forecast and it was cold…so going to chalk those factors to the low numbers but Barkley and Farmers were not deterred. We did a quick lap by the elementary school along with the following warmup: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins, sprinter stretches, lower back stretch, and finally some hamstring and more lower back stretches.
THE THANG: Before we jumped in, these boys needed some old school Jack Webb because who doesn’t love JW! I know Jiffy does, miss that guy! 1 pushups, 4 overhead claps, 2 pushups 8 claps…up to 10 and 40. These guys loved it. We did this over by the small parking lot at the top of the school hill.

At the top of this hill, then down at the valley/bottom, then at the KW parking lot entrance we did:
– 10 diamonds at the top
– 10 jumping squats at the bottom
– 10 4-count flutters at KW
– Rinse and repeat starting with 10 diamonds at KW and so on.
We did this for 3 full sets and managed to eat up a good amount of time.
MARY: Airborne special
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter
COT: prayers for our family, jobs, each other…and lots of things we can’t control.

NMM:
Asked each guy to share a bit about their failures. So, many of them shared a regret…something they viewed as a failure that like mising an opportunity. Some shared some pretty epic failures and how they’ve changed because of that.

We don’t necessarily have to regret something for it to be a failure. Personally, I want to try to fail better and often. I wanna dream big, and go big. If it blows up right in my face, hopefully I can learn something for my next big attempt. Shady once told me to fail forward. I like that.

We can’t be afraid to take chances. How are you putting yourself at risk for failure? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is it neither but thinking makes it so? (That’s a reference to Hamlet….look it up.) How can we strive to attempt things in ways that leads to good things even when we fail?

This is the kinda stuff I think about. Sometimes a lot. Often in a circular fashion. You’re welcome…or not.

The workout was hard, in the rain, and we went in a giant circle, twice.

The THANG:

Holy schnikes, we had 18 PAX for a Tommy Boy quote run. We ran Massey, to Harris, to Audrey, to Main in a loop with Derkins, Dips, Clave Raises, CDDs, V-Ups, and Big Boys. We had runners and ruckers.

COT:

On the heavier side, HIMs shared prayers that are really rocking their personal lives and I thank you for sharing. The COT is what makes us unique and allows those hard conversations to happen. This community has your back. Thanks for showing up today to get better. Thanks for letting me lead these men into Thursday.
