Friday the 13th Toast . . . On the 18th

With this being Toast’s 13th birthday, YHC went with an old school Weinke influenced by Jason Voorhees.  The hockey mask wasn’t used but YHC decided to dress in RED top and bottom.

Arriving in the gloom, it is tough to see who is catching onto the #RedFriday but noticed quite a bit throughout the workout.  Nice work guys.  Keep it rolling through the Summer (and further IMO) to honor the soldiers serving our great country.

WARMUP

Cue the boombox (for some actual decent music for a change).  Mosey to front of school with some Karaoke, High Knees, and Butt Kickers mixed in.  Circle up with a full, robust, and hearty Disclaimer given.

  • SSH x 13
  • Imperial Squawkers x 13
  • Six-count Burpees x 13
  • Cumberland County Viaduct x 13
  • LOTS of eye daggers shot towards YHC (Can’t recall who-ooch specifically)

THE THANG

Mosey to the hill next to HS stairs for some 13s

  • Scorpion Dry Docks on top
  • Jump Squats on bottom
  • Run the hill til six is in
  • Goodfella doesn’t like Good-hillah

Mosey to the FRESHLY CUT and WET middle school field where we found the teenage version of Jack Webb . . .

  • 13 Merkins/26 Air Presses
  • 12 Merkins/24 Air Presses
  • Continue til 1 Merkin/2 Air Presses
  • PAX are lucky the field was dark so not to hear from the form police
  • On a separate thought, where are Doc and Transporter lately?

and then his cousin Jack Wabb showed up . . .

  • 13 Heels to Heaven/26 Flutters
  • 12 Heels/24 Flutters
  • You get the idea
  • Even with 29 PAX, YHC could barely hear the counting
  • However, YHC could definitely hear the whining about the grass
  • On a separate thought, Moneyball WASN’T even there

Recover and walk to other end of field so PAX could let blood back in the head.  With all the PAX complaining about the grass, YHC thought it was only appropriate to go through the Tunnel of Love

  • Line up in 2 lines
  • High Plank (i.e. Downward Shop Dawg) position close to each other
  • Last PAX in line, Army crawls through the tunnel
  • Key is to stay low so the planking PAX “Love” is not impacted too much
  • Once on other side, assume plank position until all PAX through the tunnel
  • Now THIS is how you really make the PAX whine about grass clippings
  • On a separate thought, a lot of PAX looked eearily similar to Gatorcub with his shirt off after this one

Mosey back along path with quick stop for SSH x 13   Jailbreak to COT (nice work by the 2.0s running hard up front).  The finishing move:

  • Amy Grants x 13
  • Similar to the J-Lo but a lot tougher to complete due to all the jokes, laughs, and insults hurled at YHC during cadence.  Posse is a true fan and has my back

MOLESKINE

  • A record 29 PAX for Impromptu was awesome to see (30 if you count Recalculating’s SOAZ)
  • That is without a lot of the regulars (LZ, Doc, Transporter, Frack, Rockwell, Jingles, Moneyball, Popeye, Damascus, Maple Syrup)
  • That means LOTS of new PAX!  Which have really energized this entire group; keep EHing (Emotional Headlock) the FNGs in your neighborhood, work, and church
  • All of us know that F3 is a VERY special “thing” that is tough for a lot of us to pinpoint why it has made such a difference/impact on our lives but the fact is IT HAS and we need to #GiveItAway to others who need it as well.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Susan Komen race:  Our F3 area is hosting this event so we need a LOT of PAX participation.  Don’t need to be a runner.  Bring the family.  Come just as volunteer to be at F3 and Speed for Need tent to #GiveItAway to guys asking about F3.
  • SEC/ACC Alumni Bash benefiting Hayden’s Hope:  Saturday Aug 26th from 2-7pm.  200 E Bland St in Uptown.  Free parking and admission.  More info on Longhorn’s powerful story and foundation can be found here:  www.haydenshope.org
  • Great Wolf Lodge F3 outing:  Nov 17-18 in Concord.  Special rate for room (sleeps 6).  Great 2nd F (Fellowship) event and get your families involved with other F3 families.  Reach out to Foundation for details.

Thanks to Goodfella for the BIG takeout.  Never short on kind and gracious words.
