In The Still Of The Gloom
In the still of the Gloom
I hear the PAX howl, aye!
Posting around your door
In the still of the Gloom
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
My VQ. And what a great group of men to lead. 10 PAX and YHC headed off into the still of the gloom…and returned as Rock Stars all.
The Thang
Mosey around the front of the school to the back parking lot.
Warmup
- 20 SSH IC
- 5 burpees OYO
- 20 IW IC

Mosey to track
Four corners:
- 10 Merkins
- 10 CDD
- 15 Squats
- 20 LBC
- Repeato, only 10 each this time.
Mosey to small field (line up 30-40 yards from baseball fence)
- Single File Bear Crawl to fence
- At fence plank it up, Tunnel of Love back to start
- Repeato with Bunny Hop to fence, then ToL back to start.
Mosey to bleachers.
Do the following (in any order):
- 10 dips at bleachers
- Run up berm
- 10 Merkins at top of berm
- 15 Squats at bottom of berm
- Repeato: 15x all

Mosey to wall
People’s chair, 3x 60 seconds
- Regular (arms at sides)
- Arms out
- Arm raises (thanks Geraldo)
Balls to the wall x2. Hold for 0:30. (closer to 0:45 when Geraldo was asked for count and needed a gentle nudge after we’d been holding for 0:15)
Back to CoT for some Mary. PAX called the exercise, YHC counted them off:
- Rosalita (Insomniac)
- Flutter (Geraldo)
- LBC (Dark Helmet)
- Protractor (Drop Thrill)
Announcements:
- Mud Run Preblast is up here. Registration begins Feb. 1. Get those teams together!
- Great sendout by Freedom.
Moleskin:
- It was truly an honor to lead the PAX this morning. I joined F3 6 months ago to the day, and I can honestly say that it’s been a life-changing experience. 30 pounds lost to the ether. F3 works, you bet. The strength that I have found within myself has been brought forth by the men of F3. Yes, I’ve done this, but certainly could not have done it without you, the PAX. I look forward to continuing the discovery of my potential alongside you. Aye!
- Mumblechatter was heavy at first, then things quieted down at about the 15 minute mark. Guess that means the PAX were happily going about their business.
- Tunnel of Love got the mumblechatter going again. Always a crowd-pleaser.
- Good to see Dark Helmet up from The Fort. Hope to see you again soon.
- Tclaps to DT for becoming one with the Ruck.
- Thanks Freedom for a great and motivational sendout.
Whitesnake author
Excellent Q! Whitesnake, it has been a huge encouragement to me and I know many others to watch you come from your first post, then get stronger, and stronger, and stronger! Whitesnake told me “it never gets easy, you just get better at doing it.”
Amen! Thanks for the lead!
On a separate note, I’m voting for a name change on Insomniac to some sort of Ninja name. Yesterday was not the first time that he just appeared from nowhere! Actually, my reaction was more like Clark Griswald when he sees Cousin Eddie in his driveway… “Eddie… Eddie? Eddie?”
Later, boys!
