16 men gathered this morning for F3 Kevlar. A little unpredictable with the temps. Monday started out in the 30’s followed by a few days in the 50s and 60’s. Today was back to just above freezing. Welcome to December.
5:30 and still some stragglers rolling in. A quick disclaimer and we were off. Fletch coming in hot, but we kept going. Safely assuming he would be able to catch up. Head down for a little COP beside the cemetery. SSH, IW, Dry Docks (Dry Dogs, CDD, whatever you feel like calling them), and some Mountain Climbers.
Head across 51 to the micro-neighborhood across the street. Partner up.
P1 goes this way, does 15 jump squats. P2 goes that way does 15 Jump Lunges. Meet in the middle for 15 handslap Merkins. flap jack and repeat. 4 total trips out and back.
Head to where the sidewalk ends and onto the fields. There may or may not have be a sign stating the fields were closed, but it was too dark to see.
Same Partners
Line up along side line. P1 Run to opposite sideline and back, P2 does called exercise.
100 Combined Heels to Heaven
150 Combined Merkins
200 Combined box cutters. Audibled to 150ish because the PAX whined. Why does my hip pop like this? It’s too many? Is this a Kegal exercise?
Head out for home, stopping along the way for a set of lifts with rocks.
2 quick rounds of curls, tricep extensions, and overhead press.
Finish with 15 burpees on your own.
Moleskine:
Not enough Operation Sweet Tooth contributions this morning for my liking. Hope to see more at the party this evening. There was however enough mumble chatter to go around. Certainly requires a little extra concentration on the cadence count. Thanks to Young Love, pretty sure he was the only guy to count out COP and keep things on track. He also provided timely legal advice yesterday letting me know breaking the rules in fine, if you don’t get caught. Too dark for the field usage police to find us out there this AM.
Good to see Brown out 2 days in a row. He ran in a bit late during the Partner Selection period. Felt like he was the last guy to get picked for a team in gym class. We partnered up. He was not enthused with all the running, but kept it moving.
Looking forward to our one-armed co-site Q to rejoin us soon. Not as weird without you.
Thanks to Squid for the takeout. He might actually provide more prayers than Simba on a weekly basis #wheelhouse
Announcements – Bring toys for Alexander Youth Network to Christmas Party tonight. Lots of them.
Sign up for Joe Davis 5k/10k and get your family and friends to sign up too.

Very happy to see kegel spelled incorrectly in the backblast given the seeming comfort at which several PAX mentioned doing kegel exercises this am. Great workout this am as expected with Alf at Kevlar. Thanks to my partner Squid, I learned what perfect form with merkins looks like. By the way, the sign at the field read, “Beware of Soaking Wet Ass”.
