A Marvel-ous VQ

A Marvel-ous VQ

I know it’s late, but we were just building suspense and adding reading material to this day filled with rained out soccer and flag football games.  Without further ado.

Marvel-ous Moley:

The group maintained an impressive pace and followed direction well, even in the face of mutinous behavior from certain troublemakers (thinking specifically of Simba’s insubordination during the warmup…turns out his foot was broken).

The men were moving so quickly I had to add in some unplanned wall time to make it to 6:15pm (thanks to Icicle for helping out with the People’s Chair countdown after Sony went into hiding).

A round of Protractor towards the end of the workout proved more interesting than anticipated, with several of the PAX calling out inches instead of degrees…not sure of the conversion rate on that.

This was my VQ and I had a blast…many thanks to the Site Qs (Simba and Fireman Ed) for their pre-workout advice and to the PAX for not mocking me (to my face, anyways). Hope I didn’t embarrass myself too badly out there.

Announcements:

New 3rd F group (‘Rally Point’) meeting at the Dunkin Donuts at Colony Square at 6:30am on Mondays.

Christianity Explored group starting up in the near future. If interested, please contact Simba or Purple Haze.

Columbia was hit badly by the hurricane and is dealing with serious flood issues. Pray that the F3 Columbia group will be able to support / encourage the community, and get involved yourself if possible.
