When: Sunday, October 3rd. 4:00 – 6:30 (Floating)
Where: Five Stones Church Parking Lot
Why: Because we need more 2nd F
Who: All F3 Pax and their families – yes 2.0’s and M’s included.
I’ve been wrestling with how to get us back (yes back) to being a close knit region. Our expansion has been great but it’s been at the sacrifice of our 2nd F. So with that, I bring you what I hope will become an annual tradition – a Fall Family Cookout. This is a chance for not only fellowship among pax, but the entire family. You M can finally come see what a Posse is. Your 2.0’s can come see what Bottle Cap’s tennis arms really look like. And we can all verify that Twinkle Toes does in fact have a wife and its just his F3 name that is effeminate.
So what can you expect? Well if I can pull together what’s in my head, there will be:
How can you help you ask? Awesome, because I’m going to need a lot of help to make this work. I need:
A sign up genius will go out later this week, but don’t wait to come find me if you want to help. We will also need a rough count for food purposes so be on the lookout for a calendar invite in Group Me later this week as well.
I hope this excites the pax as much as it does me. I hope this is a well attended event. Be on the look out for more details soon, but go ahead and start spreading the word!
I’ve had a Chiseled workout in my head for awhile. Something that combined cardio and weights. Enough weights that you were begging for cardio for a break and then halfway through cardio you were looking forward to getting back to weights. I had a line of stations laid out with staggered runs. Then Chastain has his Q where he laid the stations out in a circle instead of a line, and the run was a lap around the stations. Hmm, that’s actually a much better way of doing it. I think I’ll steal it and make it better – and by better I mean I took out those god awful hair burners.
Arrived early to lay out gear. 9 stations in total. (Thanks for the assist Tuck and Roll – who after several times of me saying I’m good, finally wore me down enough that I obliged and allowed him to help. Why are men so stubborn – and I’m talking about me not allowing someone to help me).
As pax arrived I started getting the jitters of pax to station counting. The tough thing is about stations is you never know how many pax there will be so you have to be nimble enough to add or remove stations on the fly depending on pax count. Luckily for me today we had 9 stations and 17 pax so almost the perfect number needed (for those that are not strong in math like me, there was one station that had just 1 pax – me).
WARM UP
Lap around Mount Chiseled and circle up for:
THE THANG
Partner up as we mosey to the first station. I give out directions. Fire Hose is our timer. 1 partner runs hose around half the loop then switches and the other partner finishes the run. That transition of the fire hose between partners also switches partners at the other stations. Station work was:
After I finished the first station I realized I forgot to tell everyone we must run a full lap to the next station. Lots of confused faces as I ran past guys starting to lift yelling “Run a Lap”. We got it worked out.
There was about 5 minutes left after we did one round so I asked everyone to bring their gear to the back of my car. Circled up for Thunderstruck while catching hell from Rockwell for taking his “thing”. I didn’t realize he started, I thought I did (hands up confused emoji along with who gives a crap emoji – all love Rockwell). I’m not sure how Rockwell’s version goes, but on mine we do mountain climbers until we hear thunder and then you do a merkin. Somewhere in the song there is a long instrumental in which we did air presses. Roughly 33 Merkins, a minute of air presses, and lots of mountain climbers. Song ended towards the back end of 6:15.
