Shirts Gettin’ Real Up In Here

Shirts Gettin’ Real Up In Here (Long BB, but I earned it):

Upon arrival at Cuthbertson Middle, I was greeted by several pax with strange (some might even call them feces eating) grins on their faces looking in my direction.

Be it that it was 5:25, I figured they were just excited to see me. But it all changed when Doc McFormPolice rolled up in his new truck. He had an odd, over-sized white shirt on. Definitely wasn’t athletic fit. It also had a guy on it that kinda looked like me…It was me!

Foundation approached and handed me an orange shirt. It had me on it too! Then I noticed his…same great looking guy in the wind up about to uncork a long ball! Then Posse’s, then Deflated, BottleCap, Hooch, Halfback, Mad Dog, and Recalculating as the last to arrive. As it turns out, a collection of clowns from PeeWee’s Playhouse (GroupMe) decided to wear shirts with my likeness emblazoned on the front. Everybody looked so nice.

Anyway, on to the workout:

One luke-warm lap around the Bow and Arrow playground (ominous sign of things to come). We collected Jingles promptly at 5:32

SSH x 30

Merkin x 20

Plank Jack x 20

6inch Plank Jack x 10

Imperial Walker x 20

Squats x 20

Quick Wall Warm up. Grabbed some wall, 40 IC air presses/20 squats. x2 Jog to Bow and Arrow site.

Since none of the pax had ever had the privilege of doing ‘Bow and Arrows’ on a baseball field, I thought it only fitting to share this wonderful nightmare and add a F3 twist to enhance the fun.

A Bow and Arrow is a 1/2 to 3/4 speed jog along the warning track from foul pole to foul pole. Once the far pole is reached, a sprint across the entire outfield is in order. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum. We didn’t have a baseball field so we used the front of the middle school parking lot.

Modified Bow and Arrows- add an exercise at the front entrance and at each end of the ‘bow’:

Mosey to side rock pile stash. Select a lifting rock Do each of the following twice.

On last trip, replace rock and jail break/stagger back to Circle. Half-hearted effort at LBCs followed by agreement my time was up.

It is always a privilege to lead, but more importantly, it’s a privilege to get to call so many fine men friends. The t-shirts were awesome. I felt like Doc at his Quincineara this morning, boys. You were even thoughtful enough to provide me an athletic fit t-shirt. You all are truly the best. Sincerely, thank you.

It’s been so fun adding a touch of levity/stupidity/tomfoolery to our little corner of UC F3. It’s like a clubhouse/frat house meets a church house. It’s so cool to see what we’ve become and the friendships that have been made. Thanks for putting up with the shenanigans. We truly are a whirling dervish of Commitment, Chaos, Comedy, and Caring individuals all rolled into a train wreck of gifs, Memes, SERIOUS posts, and #lurkers. Our great mix of personalities makes getting up at 5am worth doing time and again.

PS- Everybody tell Damascus we did chest to chest partner carries just to make him jealous

PPS- Nobody ask my wife for any more information about me as she is a sieve

PPPS- Have a great week
