I thought winter was over…

6 brave HIMs rolled out of their fart sacks to face the frost and flex some grit at this mornings chilly Green Mile beat down. Some say it’s a dying AO, but the dedication and consistency of these guys say otherwise!

A special shoutout to the RT/ NM guys who made it out; I laud your Herculean endeavor of traversing an interminable expanse of asphalt to grace us with your presence this morning.

Warmup:

Mosey to bus parking lot and back

  • side straddle hops
  • arm circles- forward and backward
  • trunk twist
  • deadman hangs
  • cobra
  • merkins

Thang 1:
Ascending Reps (5-10-15-20): 2 rounds, (round 2 turned into 5-10-5-10)

  • overhead press
  • curls
  • squats
  • merkins
  • thrusters

Suicide after each segment: cone 1 after 5 reps, cone 2 after 10 reps, cone 3 after 15 reps, cone 4 after 20 reps.

Turned out to be 80 reps total of each exercise. YHC intended to do 4 rounds of this, but quickly realized that was out of reach.

Thang 2:

Quick mosey to bus lot for a Triple Check/ Bermuda Triangle (except it was straight)

Run to cone 1

Cone 1: one burpee, bear crawl to cone 2

Cone 2: two burpees, lunge to cone 3

Cone 3: three burpees, broad jump to cone 4

Run back to partners. Partners did flutter kicks and WW2s

Quick mosey to pick up cones and back to parking lot and that was time.

COT:

  • Numbers/ Names (got it right this time, Crabgrass you would have been proud)
  • Annoucements: CSAUP May 2nd- sign up!/ Hardywood and Hermeys Bridge coming up/ Fishing Trip to Jackson River- shooting for last weekend in May. More details to come. Reach out to TSG- will get more details on slack soon.
  • Wins/ Prayer Request: Pray for Hardywoods buddy who’s going through a rough patch in life, reassure him of the presence and love of those around him./ All PAX, friends and family. Give everyone direction during times of challenge and help them understand it’s a apart of Gods bigger plan.

To my F3 brothers, I want to pour out my heartfelt gratitude and unwavering support you’ve shown me these past few months. At my first Q I opened up a little about about my journey- I laid bare the chapters of my life I wasn’t proud of. For years before 2020 I wandered down a dark path tangled in an unhealthy lifestyle and surrounded by a rough crowd. This was my world until marriage and fatherhood began to rewrite my story. Even for three years, I drifted lost searching for an anchor- until July 2024 when F3 found me. A special nod to Heist whose relentless encouragement became the nudge I needed to step into this brotherhood. Since that day, every corner of my life, mind, body, and spirit had blossomed in ways I couldn’t imagine 8 months ago. F3 has been a lifeline and a gift I’ll carry with gratitude forever. I pray that God guides me to find others like me that may be lost and want to be found. Thank you all for lifting me up and showing me what it means to belong. see you guys in the gloom!
