17 enjoyed my Q at the yard on Saturday Oct 22.

We stretched a bit at the beginning and then moseyed to start a Thang from a weinke I had done at the Yard three years ago.

Paired up

We ran to the back driveway and at each light pole was an assignment. Each pole had one letter of THEYARD, except for the excitement that the letters were out of order. You had to Jog to find the next letter. Lots of grumble.

T
Donkey kicks (10)
Merkins (10)

E
LBC (25)
Dying Cockroaches (25)

Y
Mountain climbers (25)
Grave diggers (20)

H
SSH (25)
Burpees (5)

R
Box cutters (15)
Burpees ( 5…yes more burpees)

D
Bobby Hurley’s (10)
Hello Dolly’s (20)

A
Squats (30)
Lunges (15 ea)

Overall I would say it was a big hit and everyone loved my Q. I’m sure I’ll be asked to Q again in the near future.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short mosey to side lot for COP
THE THANG:
COP:
SSH x 20, merkin x 10, windmill x 15, downward/upward dog x 2, squat x 20, large arm circles x 20, small arm circles x 20. burpees x 7

Line up in groups of 3:
40 yd sprints with short recovery (5 reps) (take a 10 ct)

Mosey to the artificial turf for Jack Web (1:4 ratio, 10 reps). This was planned for only 7 reps, but Bowser and Ironclade pushed us to do 10. Well done, young men!

Mosey to the school building for several sets of people’s chair, wheelbarrows, lungewalk, crabwalk, and bearcrawl.

10 monkey humpers prompted by Uhaul who was rucking past the pax.

‘Secret Service detal’: around Uhaul for a bit as the pax moseyed back to the large parking lot for Mary.

MARY:
Freddie Mercury x 10, Boat and Canoe x 5, LBC x 20, Superman x 2, Body destroyer to close it out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F3 Charity Shoot to benefit Ft. Mill Care Center on Nov 11
Bourbon tasting to benefit Ft. Mill Schools on Nov 18
Please sign up if you plan to attend so organizers get a head count. Thanks to Change Order and Cyclops for their leadership and commitment to 3rd F.

COT:
Following a really crappy day at work, and a sleepless night because of it, today’s Q could not have come at a better time.
It was already scheduled several weeks ago, but perhaps a higher power was at work here, knowing that today was the day I really needed it. I knew I would feel better after some physcial exercise, but the pax who provided me with a laugh or kind word really put me back in the right frame of mind. At the close of COT, I felt 100% better. Thank you, men!

We had a great group today and the mumble chatter and jokes made for a really fun workout. It was a pleasure to lead the group as always, and I’m truly thankful for the pax of F3. I gotta give a shoutout to our juniors, Ironclad and Bowser, who are regulars at our Saturday workouts and are developing a really good habit for life. Keep up the good work, guys!

Prayers for the F3 Pax affected by the deaths or illnesses of mothers and grandmothers (Bassomatic, Boogie Down, Uhaul).

Prayers for my friend Joe with cancer and the continued recovery of my co-worker Justin (Covid). Traveling mercies for the several HS band students on the road this wknd for competitions.
