Cold & Drizzly

14 Pax showed up today at a cold and drizzly Centurion. Pulled into the shopping center hoping the rain would hold off as I didn’t have any workout planned for the garage at Charlotte Catholic. I was surprised to see a car load of old timers (R) and others I haven’t seen in a while. Chelms, Shoe, Dr. Belding, Homeboy and Mayflower were all in the same car (referred to as “Elite Strong Men”). I’m sure Chelms came up with that name!!

Gave disclaimer and off we went.

Mosey across 51 to the Shopping center parking lot at 51 & Carmel

Wrap

Great work by the Pax this morning. Great to see so many out on a cold and rainy morning, especially the old guys (R’s). Must have been 5 of 6 of us. It’s easy to stay in a bed on a day like this. The benefits that you get, far out-weigh the extra few hours of sleeping. Glad to be part of F3. Keeps me feeling young!!

Cold and Dreary

Showed up at 5:20AM. Weather was cold, dreary and rainy. Was wondering if anyone was going to show up. Much to my surprise, people started filtering in around 5:20. Actually had 13. Kudos to all my hardcore workout buddies. No fair weather guys here!!

Started 5:30. Went for a little stroll and circled up for warm ups. Did side straddle hops, Imperial Walkers (had a senior moment and called them alternating leg lifts), merkins, mountain climbers and American hammer.

We then ran to the playground, did 10 pull ups and 10 leg curls on the swing set seats. WE then ran to the pavilion and did 10 jump ups, 10 dips and 10 derkins. We then ran to the front area of the church and did 10 burpees. We repeated 5 times.

Mermaid led the lead pack in various leg exercises when completed inside the pavilion. When everyone finished it was around 6:12 and time to head back to home base. Running by the rock pile, I had a notion to quickly do some lifting exercises. I was quickly informed that there was not enough time; which was correct as we got back at 6:15
