Sneaky miles

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey to a church lot for 16 counts of various exercises including windmills, imperial and hillbilly walkers, merkins (s/c), Broga poses, should taps and mountain climbers

THE THANG: mosey to another lot for 16’s counting down or up by 2’s – flying squirrels at one end and squats at another

Mosey to another lot for 7’s – diamond merkins, run, lunges and nur.

Mosey back up the hill to the lot of exfoliation: 16’s but going up or down by 1 each time: merkins mosey two lights, LBC’s with exfoliation and mosey back – rinse and repeat. We got to 7 & 9 and 0600 was upon us and almost 2 miles under our belts.

MARY: no time for it
ANNOUNCEMENTS: happened
COT: happened too

The blessing of fellowship at every workout is a sustaining thing for all of us. I was grateful for that this morning in a small but meaningful group of HIM.

Dojo – thanks for the call out. You were missed. Bonsai & Short Sale – thanks for joining YHC. It was a pleasure to be in your company this morning in the gloom and go 1-0 on the day.

Gratefully,
Cyclops

The Wheel of Wow

Leave a comment

It was a dank morning in The Fort as 18 men decided to make the hard choice and accelerate their Friday!

We warmed up the engines quickly and then moseyed over to the Wheel of Wow for a high dose of pain.

Wheel of Wow:
Eight cones with a different KB exercise at each cone. The timer was a 40 count of reps on the battle ropes. We rotated around the wheel, and at every third cone we ran a lap.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.

Glorious Gloom at the GC

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey behind Red Bowl to stink central for a COP: SquatS, IWs, Mtn. Climbers, LBCs, SSHs. All IC and interrupted by a burpee ladder, 5 down to 1.
THE THANG: head to the hill behind Express Oil change. Count adds to 10, started with 1 Big Boyat the bottom & 9 Bombjacks at the top. Omaha after 5 rounds as traffic was getting heavy. Head behind the Oil Change garage for a partner Dora. Derkins, Dips & Step ups. Finish up with a crowd pleaser, “Tote The Rock”. 1 pax runs around O’Reilly’s carrying a Cindy while Pax do the exercise listed on the sheet. Round 1 was Kraken Burpees and it went downhill from there.

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Another Blood Drive (god bless @3D, he’s a marketing genius), D2D fundraiser
COT:Prayers for various family members.

I’m off and amazed how nervous and sleepless I am the night before a Q. Must be because it’s an important role to play. We all wanna do a good job for the Pax that show up. Always an honor to lead.
“The” Shortest of All Sales.

Wait..what?!?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: @Double D kicked us off with a disclaimer and quick mosey around the parking lot before we circled up to do a handful of warmup-y type exercises…I would list them out, but can’t recall exactly what we did as (unbeknownst to most of the PAX) I was more concerned with concealing the speaker I was carrying for my portion of the Q.  Kudos to @Pusher for noticing. I do, however, recall the group providing the 5 core principles of F3 as we had an FNG EHd by @OldBay

THE THANG: After warmups, @Double D mentioned the theme for the day, which was Adaptability and Agility and then handed off his Q to YHC.  I proceed to expand upon Adaptability and Agility and the need as leaders to be both Adaptable and Agile as there is always something that comes at us unexpectedly.  We then proceeded to mosey to the Lowe’s parking lot where we circled up for 15 mins of EMOM (every minute on the minute) of the following exercises:
1 burpee
2 lunges each leg
3 merkins
4 low squats
5 SSH

*Music started off on AC/DC radio and switched halfway through to 90s Hip Hop to accommodate @Pusher’s musical preference.

The PAX then mosey’d to the top of the hill by the gas station for a few plank jacks before moseying back down to the lot for what started out as a quick broga session that didn’t feel right due to the 90s Hip Hop, which was adapted to a 16-PAX circle of PAX-led mary.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2DB tomorrow, D2D Relay in 3 weeks, read your newsletter
COT: what’s shared in COT, stays in COT!
