9 Friends of the Gloom converged at Mary for the 11th day of Christmas. No pipers piping were in sight. Instead, here’s what happened:

COP on the blacktop. Stretching stuff

Ye Old 100: perform a set of exercises, then run the 1/4 track.

  • 100 SSHs, run a lap
  • 90 2x Flutter Kicks, run a lap
  • 80 Squats, run a lap
  • 70 LBS. Run a lap
  • 60 2x Mtn Climbers, run a lap.
  • 50 WW2s, run a lap.
  • 40 Merkins, run a lap.
  • 30 2x American Hammers, run a lap.
  • 20 Jump Squats, NOJ style. run a lap.
  • 10 Burpees. run a lap.

Upchuck was penalized 3 additional burpees for starting before the Q said go.

Back to the flag: 3 additional burpees. Namerama, Numberama, YHC took us out.

NMS: Great to welcome Silver Centrum from Roanoke today. Hope to see you more often now that you are up here for work. Great mumblechatter despite the running, including the usage of the phrase “scrotum juice.” Ask Upchuck for context.

Lots of people make resolutions, but they really translate into change. Real personal change comes through tiny habits, the daily committment to life-giving routines that end up in change for the long haul. As Neitzsche wrote, it’s “The Long Obedience in the Same Direction” that counts. This is what F3 is about.
