Lessons Learned or Six of One, 1/2 Dozen of the Other
Post on behalf of “The Late Show”
The Thang
Let’s go. Hairband mile to the circle up. The proper disclaimer given, along with some material sure to provide hours of conversation between father and son, and we start a new year together at Outland, 23 strong in the silent majesty of a quiet winter morning. Luckily no one in a bathrobe emptying chemical toilets into sewers….. Although we did have some spectacular fart sounds from 2.0 corner.
COP:
Imperial Walkers, Slow Squats, Slow Merkins.
Count off into groups and head to the back of Horsehead’s truck for some homemade F3 Christmas packages, 50 pound rucks and a couple heavy kettlebell’s. Off we go, swapping the coupon between team members.
First stop, the bus lot for some team work.
P1 completes 5 squats with the weight while P2 and P3 do jump squats. Trade off until all have done the work and plank it up.
While we wait on Countertop for some extra gloves…. 5 burpees on your own, along with some flutters counted out by Double E.
Pick up your package and off we go to the elementary buses, trading off as we go.
Second stop: P1 sits on ground, P2 and P3 help him up 4 times, right arm twice, left arm twice. Switch partners till all have gone.
Third stop: P1 lunge walks about 4 parking spaces then hustles the coupon back to the team. P2 and P3 are patiently exercising till it’s their turn. 2 full rounds with merkins, burpees, mtn climbers, jumping lunges, and some others thrown in.
Mosey along the gravel road behind Middle School (detour up and down the steps) back to the front of the MS and handoff to Horsehead.
With The Late Show’s all around warmup complete:
5 Hairband Miles, NASCAR style. (The left hand turns worked well for FNG Sajak who had been wearing a loaner pair of 2 left hand gloves from yours truly) On your own, stopping at lap 1 for 1 burpee, 2nd for 2, and so on. Plank and wait when done.
Grinder Stations:
As teams: P1 does Supine Rows, P2 up the hill and 10 burpees, P3 to the courtyard with the weights and back. Settle down! Everyone gets a turn!
On the Wall:
Everyone on the wall for some much loved People’s Chair, with Air Presses, Donkey Kicks, and Coconuts Over Banana thrown in. Along with a couple decline merkins and catching of breath.
Line up:
We hit the parking lot for some stop and go work. Sprint between parking signs, stopping at each for 5 merkins, then hustle back to the start line. Round 2 do some bomb jacks.
Circle up for Mary:
Double time: Dolly’s, Heels to Heaven, LBC’s, done.
Count off and Name-O-Rama.
Announcements:
There is a run next Saturday, be sure to visit the F3 website for info on other Area’s of Operation in Union County.
Thanks Horse for taking us out with prayer.
The Moleskin
Welcome Friendly New Guys! Sajak, Omaha, Hoser, Messi, Knievel, and Willie Mays Hays… Great to have you guys with us! You might come out to sweat off a few pounds, but you will stay because you’ll make some friends & brothers.
Welcome back DonutHole and crew, good to see you guys and glad to have Donut Hole back from overseas. Thanks again for serving our country!
Smokey and Goofy Foot 2.0 had a good father/son conversation thanks to The Late Show’s disclaimer…. Smokey to Goofy Foot as they walked back to their car: “Son, we shave our faces, not our legs.”
Horsehead did a bang up job purchasing some surplus Army duffel bags from the Internets. He’s so pumped that he has offered to lead us in a 6 week series on how to bargain shop on the Internet. His shrewd and calculating equine mind helped him to talk the seller out of the original price of $10 each duffel and down to an amazing deal: 3 duffels for $30.
We welcomed Glass Joe to the coffeeteria at McD’s for his 2nd of 3 breakfasts. Some resolve to eat a bit less when the new year starts….
Solid work by the PAX today! And great to have some 2.0’s heckling us from the sideline: Boondock, Messi, Evil Knievel, Crazy Train, Green Machine, Raider – Thank you guys for the words of encouragement. Nothing helps the stitch in your side quite like hearing, “Faster, you’re going to slow.”

Thx for typing up the always difficult Saturday BB Late Show. That is one thing I will not miss from my former service as Site Q at the Outland.
The military duffles were $20 each, but we beat the pawn shop guy down to the 3/30 deal. Boondock found them actually, so you can thank him.
Sandbags seemed to work ok, although I was not expecting this large of a group. They got a little floppy in the middle, much like myself these days, so I’m working on rev 2.0 now. It will probably involve dollar tree pool noodles.
Nice how (some of) you guys tried to name one of the FNGs Smokey, when he was standing beside none other than Smokey. #awkward.
Hope the large crowds continue. Misery loves company.
