What did I just agree to do?



What did I just agree to do?

18 of F3’s finest (17 better than YHC) were ready to burn some calories for a guilt free Thanksgiving.   Purple Haze lamely didn’t take Mermaids bait to Q (nor did 15 other PAX) and thus YHC agreed to spare the PAX from another beat down by Mermaid (it was a smart call).  I did attempt to deliver a hard workout for the PAX since they expected a Mermaid Q.

The Thang:

Mosey a bit through parking lot then COP with SSH, Merkins, Stagger R and L, Diamonds, Wide Arms all X10.    Purple Haze didn’t even heckle  my form – guess he was scared to throw wood on the fire that early.

Four corners in the parking lot with squat jumps, knee ups (not sure what half the PAX heard but they didn’t start with knee ups), merkins, and burpees – all to 10 except burpees to 5

Over to Pavillion for dips x15, merkins x10, and dips x20

Down to ball field for some “base running”.   Bear crawl to 1st, burpee broad jump to 2nd, lunge walk to 3rd, and crab walk home.  Rinse and repeat.

Jog up to rock pile and grab a lifting rock.   In the parking lot we did:

  • 5 curls, push presses, and lateral extensions then sprint down to light pole and back
  • 10 curls, push presses, and lateral extensions then sprint down to light pole and back twice
  • 15 curls, push presses, and lateral extensions then sprint down to light pole and back thrice
  • 20 curls, push presses, and lateral extensions then drop off your rock

Mosey over to church for some peoples chair and Balls to the Wall push ups until failure.  PH knew I was not Protestant and brought up some rule about not touching the church walls.   No wanting to offend the pastor (or God), YHC called an audible (although we had less than 1 minute left).  Mosey back to cars for COT.

Naked Moleskin:

Barely got out of the fart sack this am much less came prepared to Q.   Had been thinking on the way over how it had been a while since I Q’d so God (with Mermaid’s help) made it happen.   It really was for Van Pelt since I saw his tweet about not wanting more HR burpees (which I never do – even when called).   I would suggest other guys that don’t Q often make a point to push yourself by finding workouts to Q as it does help develop leadership skills and assist in getting closer to 10,000 fails (at least it does for me).

The usual suspects were out front although Turkey Leg was holding back (or recovering from Fast
Twitch).  Snooka, as usual, we keeping up with the young guys – he is a freak of nature (or testosterone supplements really work). I should have added partner carries to the sprints (will remember for next time).

Announcements

Sign up now (really, stop reading this drivel and sign up right now) for the Area 51 Christmas party.   YHC will be down range so not in attendance but I highly recommend.

Several runs, including Joe Davis, coming up so sign up and work on hitting a PR.    Highly successful people set goals and go after em.  Also, find an opportunity to lock shields with other F3 men and get out in our community and serve.   See me if you need help in finding something.

Pray for Abba as his family is heading out on a great adventure – mission work in Thailand (that will be a hot as ba$#s place to work out).

As always, it was an honor to lead the PAX this am.   God has given YHC more blessings than I deserve and leading workouts is one of them (even if my form stinks).
