School Yard Prison Yard



School Yard Prison Yard

13 fine gentlemen made the right decision this morning, coming out in the chilly gloom for a bit of adult recess. After a brief disclaimer, we were off to the other side of the school, circling in for a landing at a previously unused (or seldom used) location: the basketball court randomly located behind the lower school buildings (C building, for those inclined to know such things). The workout proceeded as follows:

  • COP: SSHs, Squats, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Carolina Dry Docks, Multi-directional Lunges
  • Making use of the benches surrounding the court, we enjoyed sets of Incline and Decline Merkins and a bunch of a$$-to-bench Squats
  • We mixed in some Bear Crawls and Crab Walks, to keep it interesting and young at heart.
  • Left the court, ran around the rest of the lower school buildings (for those keeping track at home, these would be the A and B Buildings and whatever they call the church’s “family life center” building — I’m a CDS guy, not a CC guy, so that building is off my radar) and back to the playground benches.
  • Split into 2 groups, first group ran that same circle, while the second group focused on Dips and Step-ups. Flapjack. Repeato x2
  • Horsehead said things were getting weird (which usually means things were getting REALLY WEIRD), so we relocated to the base of the hill for some more fun and games.
  • Next we did some LBCs at the bottom of the hill, bunny-hopped (Cottontail’s #wheelhouse) up the hill, Flutters at the top. Run back down and repeat 5x.
  • Then we did some CDDs at the bottom, bear crawled up, Jump Squats at the top. Run back down and repeat 5x.
  • Mosey back to finish. 17 Burpees to ring out the old year.
  • COT

Moleskine:

  • Good to see the guys out this morning. Nice, energetic group of folks ranging in age from 17 – 58 #ISI. Love that about F3: just as inspiring to see the Respects as it is fun to try to keep up with theĀ  HateHateHates
  • We could have spent the entire workout on the basketball court. So many options, most of which involved suicides. Was starting to feel a bit like a prison yard workout, though. Especially with that iron-looking plastic fence around the border. Prison Yard , School Yard, funny how similar they are. Explains why I felt the way I felt going through grade school, too.
  • In COT, I asked everyone to declare 2017: Good, Bad, Hard or Easy. Once folks realized I wasn’t asking them to grade my workout, we all declared 2017 as a good year, and for Fault Line, it was even a great year! Personally, 2017 was very hard and also very good. One of those years I’m glad to have done and glad to not have to do again. A sign of God’s faithfulness, no doubt.
  • Peace out, 2017. Who’s got next?

Announcements:

  • Convergence workouts January 1: Freedom Park (Metro) and a rumored one at Base Camp (Area 51/South Charlotte) — check twitter, slack, etc. to confirm (Disclaimer applies to backblasts, in case you didn’t know)
