Kingsley Loop is a thing

Leave a comment

WARMUP: I warmed up the PAX with CLEAR instructions
THE THANG: Fartleks on Kingsley Loop, not Kingsley loop. Notice that one is a proper name and one is well, not. Run laps alternating moderate and fast pace. Rabbits got 5.
MARY: No Mary

Naked Man Moleskin: I had it worked out. But I guess I need to do a better job of Vision Articulation, Persuasion, Exortation. *Noted
Fort Mill Pax are the best around!

Waiting for Twister to Shut His Yap

Leave a comment

WARMUP:   Active Warmup – High Knees, Butt Kickers, Toy Soldiers, Soy Toldiers, Open/Close Gates, World Wide Leaders {trademark}, Long Strides

THE THANG:  Mosey to Cake Boss Parking Lot (apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️) for ……drum roll please….Rugby Sprints!   Shocker, right?!   Got some good ground exercises in (you know the ones) followed by sharp bursts of speed in conjunction with short periods of recovery.   _They_ say it can even reverse the aging process.   (Don’t look at me – GOOGLE IT!).
 
Then.   Once Twister stopped talking…

we were able to finish.  Moved on to Quads around the corners of the building.  Bomb Jacks, Hand Release, Flying Squirrels, and Big Boys x 10 OYO.    Then mosey back to COT.

MARY:   Short Yoga sequence to get them hips loose [TWSS!] followed by 30 seconds of giving up all effort (to help Bonsai with his ADHD)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:   _Tons_ of events and gatherings leading up to end of the year.  
Get 👏🏻
In 👏🏻
Volved 👏🏻

COT:  Prayers for raising kids at various points along the teenage scale.  We need wisdom to help guide them.   Prayers for health issues.

T E Y H R D A

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.
