The Zipper at Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

YHC was excited to join the Pax for Minnow Pond this AM. Prior to the workout, I looked over previous backblasts because I wanted to do the Zipper but wanted to see the level of exercises associated with it. I chose 4 exercises to mix in with the running and get a full body workout.

WARMUP:
Disclaimer, Pledge of Allegiance followed by a mosey to old Hardees parking lot. (Aside – does Fort Mill need a paid parking lot?)

THE THANG:
Run the Zipper which includes Spring Street and the associated side street with 10 merkins, Mtn climbers, squat jumps and big boys at each corner.

Run back to old Hardees at 5:55. Last group of exercises

MARY: Flutters, LBCs and Hello Dollies until the 6 arrives

Mosey home.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Dark Helmet as he takes the reins as Nantan of F3 Nation
Read the newsletter as we have lots of activity coming up

Welcome to my TED Talk

Leave a comment

Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT

Do Great Things Today

Leave a comment

After the disclaimer, we began our journey around town. First stop, the pharmacy for some warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Fast Windmills, Merkins, Peter Parker, Parker Peters). Next Stop, the former location known as Hardees. Partner exercises: Elevated merkins, feet on back of partner in plank position. Second set, planking partner elbows on ground.
Next stop, Post Office. Lineman push – partner 1 pushes partner 2, flipflop.
Next stop, Unity Church. Partner wheel barrow to the stairs of the church, each rest break 5 merkins. flipflop. mosey to Footloose parking lot. One partner started the bear crawl to the end of the parking lot. Partner 2 ran to the end and back to take over for partner 1. Both finished at the end of the parking lot. Next , we moseyed to the bottom Williamson St. All you got to the top of the hill. Once all made it up the hill, I took a minute to talk about how I get ready for the day. Take a shower after the workout (good hygiene). I look into the mirror and repeat these word “I am going to do great things today.” Sounds a little silly, but we need men ready to lead in our communities..do great things.
ok, back to the workout..on our way back to COT, we stopped by the Print Shop for a pitcher of pull-ups. Back to COT for a few minutes of Mary.
Great job Guys!
