Under the wire…damn you end of the month

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It’s Friday and warmer. Those are 2 plus signs. Guys showed up, another plus. I remembered the disclaimer and mission of F3, green light. We took off for a mosey in the parking lot and stopped after maybe 1/4 mile, maybe. SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squat, merkins, runners stretch. Warmup over.
THE THANG: Ran to the back of the HT where the smelly things live. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 crunches. Ran to the other end of the HT, another 10, 20, 30. Ran all the way through the apartment complex and to the bottom of the hill, 10, 20, 30 (I think).

Bottom of the hill we assembled for 7s. Burpees at the bottom, squats at the fire station. Pick up the 6 when done.

Ran back through the apt complex, another 10, 20, 30. Then to the back of the HT where we partnered up. Partners ran in opposite directions and when they meet up, 10 partner merkins, 20 partner squats (basically in cadence). Ran around HT again for the full loop. Rinse and repeat.
MARY: yep, sprinter sit-up, hammers, side plank gravediggers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Wine event, Yeager CSAUP
COT: kids, jobs, patience.

Started to do that again, but I just didn’t wanna. Was hoping more PAX would gripe about it. But they didn’t they were either too cold to complain, or knew I might actually go through with it if they did.

Mosey some more
some squats, lunges, cossak squats

Mosey some more found a hill
bear crawl, donkey kicks, back down
crawl bear, donkey kicks, back down

Mosey some more found the basketball court

Little bit of rain and jacked up jack webbs

Leave a comment

WARMUP: collected in the parking lot, very quick disclaimer and off we went. Ran a nice big lap around the baseball fields, settled in for some SSH, windmills, low slow squats, and then we went into a Jack Webb. Senator wanted to go faster in the Jack Webbs but Uber started to get air.
THE THANG: Ran over to hole #2 where we did 3 exercises.
1. 10 diamonds at the tee box
2. 10 jump squats at the valley
3. 10 4-count flutters at the green

Then rinse and repeat in reverse starting at the green with the diamonds and back to the tee box. We did this 3 times and running back to the tee box was horrible and very hilly and it’s as terrible as I remember it.

We ran back to the Runde parking lot for some 4 corners.
1. 20 CDD
2. 10 hammer sprinter combos (hammer left/right, into left/right crunch)
3. 20 merkins with (Parker Peter into Peter Parker – so 4 merkins for each Peter movement)
4. See #2 again

Rinse and repeat 2x more times but cut the numbers in 1/2 because some of this looked better on paper.
MARY: Airborne special along with some Superman.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D awareness
COT: of course!

Something with hyenas

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Showing up to the small crew of misfits was honestly a treat. After the disclaimer, we started with a short and slow mosey. 30 seconds in, the mumblechatter and “complaining” was alive. The mosey was about 1/4 mile, maybe. We did these exercises for the warmup with some pausing, some gasping, some stopping: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, back and quad stretches.
THE THANG: As we moved over to the turnabout area in front of the football field, YHC had 10 exercises with rep counts written down.
1. Plank horizontal pull throughs- 10
2. plank vertical pulls – 10 (up/down 1 arm is 1)
3. 1/4 Turkish get up – 5/side
4. Hammer twist each side into sprinter sit up- 10
5. Dying cockroach with straight arm kb extension – 10
6. Kb swings – 20
7. lunge with kb leg pass through – 10
8. Kneeling wood chops with kb – 10/side
9. Flutter with kb straight arm hold – 20 double count
10. Plank row with Parker Peter- 10 per side

After round 1 we did a short mosey (or partial mosey) and back for rinse and repeat until time ran out…ended after #8.

You had to be here for the Kielbasa stories.
MARY: core was a focus area during workout so no Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive, D2D bar, Feb Epic fundraiser
COT: enjoyed the chatter with these guys and did a quick around the horn for prayers and praises.

Bing was in town. It was a real good time.

Leave a comment

Bing probably has a much more interesting version of all this, but suffice it to say, it was a good time. I went first half and Bing ended the hour. It’s not going to be a great backblast, but it will capture the fact that there were men there and what their names were. That’s gotta count for something…

WARMUP:
We did.

THE THANG:
We lifted some stuff. Then Bing made us do a lot of Bear Crawling and something called a “Pit of Misery”. Hateful stuff…

MARY:
No chicks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read your newsletter.

COT:
The 5th Core Principle.
