I think you’ll be okay, they’re covered in a thin candy shell

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.

Chasing Amy, I mean Twister

WARMUP: 6 gathered, which was a great number, for a full 1 hour of party packed entertainment. Twister joined us to say hi as he terrains his 6@6, but before he got 75 yards away, we had a quick disclaimer and took off to join him on his route. As the 6 of us caught up to him, the mumblechatter ensued and since he was already x miles into his route, we passed him as we neared Harris street. We stopped at the corner for 10 merkins, waited for the 6 and let Twister run away a little down Harris, and then we took off after him again. Down Harris we ran, catching him and harassing him again, because Twister wouldn’t want it any other way. As we passed him, we made our way to the park at the bottom of the hill and circled up in the parking lot for warm ups: SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, merkins, mountain climbers, and a few runner stretches.
THE THANG: Made our way over to the basketball court for some modified suisides. At each line we would do 1 merkin and add 1 per line doing the same number on the starting base line. 1 and 1, 2 and 2, 3…you get it. We then kept climbing back down the lines where in the end we ended up with 8 and 8.

We then ran back up Harris to LBJ church where we ran steps, ran around the church, back to steps for 10 diamonds, 10/leg of Bulgarian split squats. We did this circuit 2x.

Next stop was the gas station to stop for the 6, then made our way to print shop. At the print shop we did a 25% murph because who doesn’t need pull up practice.

Ran all the way back to the millstone in front of the steps by veterans park, stopped for the 6, then ran to the small wall by the engineering building for 20 dips and 20 total step ups. Did this circuit 2x. Ran back to WEP, did a time check, got a big sigh of relief”oh but there more” and ran up the walking path to the top of the hill, back down, then back up the grassy hill with the statue, then down the side hill to COT.
MARY: got through about 3 exercises
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter items
COT: CSPAN style for P&P

Under the wire…damn you end of the month

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

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!
