    Awesome to have the honor to lead these men today. Props to Garbage Plate for coming to Twin Team for the first time. Tclaps to Orange Crush and Mousetrap for coming out despite nagging injuries. Cooper is a welcome addition to the PAX for sure. Not only does he distract PAX from burpees when needed, you can always “blame it on the dog”. Great job today gents!!

  • You Don’t Have To Run To Be Cool

    YHC was thankful to make it to another birthday so today’s theme was get to know YHC. One professional driver came in hot at 5:30 on the nose and then we were off, 11 strong.

    COP

    • 37 (27? 47?) SSH (was going for 37 but top notch mumblechatter made keeping track difficult for YHC)
    • 10 Jazzercise (favorite F3 exercise hands down)

    • 10 Hillbillies (self explanatory)
    • 10 Russian Soldiers
    • 10 Alabama Prom Dates
    • 10 Hello Dollies
    • 10 Rosalitas

    The Thang

    • 2 Pack of Boberry Biscuits – 2 laps around the track, mosey on curves, sprint on straightaways, 10 burpees after each lap. Mosey to the field in the middle for
    • Beast of the East Carolina: YHC’s alma mater ECU was founded in 1907 so..
    • 19 squats
    • 7 Chuck Norris’
    • 19 Plank Jacks
    • 7 No Cheat Merkins
    • 19 American Hammers (somehow didn’t end on a 7… YHC did not major in math…).
    • New employer Starbuck’s mission statement boils down to “one cup at a time” so run around the school, indigenous people style, last person did 5 Merkins before passing the others
    • YHC is a tennis player so we stopped at tennis courts and did some Agassis:
    • Karaokes, high knees, ass kickers and running backwards
    • BTTF for a round of Mary (encouraging others to lead is favorite part of working in food service mgmt.)

    Numberrama, Nameorama (YHC managed to forget age already)

    Announcements etc

    • Prayers for Aisle 5 as he recovers from surgery

    This has somehow been best and worst year of YHCs life at the same time. Thankful to have F3 to help sort through the morass of everyday life. You guys are awesome! Thanks for putting up with directions still being a bit of work in progress..

  • A James Bond Biscuit

    6 semi frozen PAX showed up to attack the day at Timberwolf (“should I be able to feel my toes?”). YHC wanted to continue the week of themed work outs. Today is the same day that “The Man With The Golden Gun” came out in 1974 so James Bond theme it is!

    • 28 Plank Jacks
    • 38 LBCs
    • This went by quickly… Doozy asked if this was a “prostitute” four corners, YHC hadn’t heard of that. It was explained. Some mumblechatter (“they suck”). YHC said ok let’s do it and we did for the repeato round.

    “Thunderball”s to the wall

    COT – YHC took us out,

    NMS

    A lot to be thankful for in the cold gloom this morning. Great work by all of the PAX today. Enjoyed the pass around of the Q at the end! YHC may have had the Q but was influenced by others in the exercise choices today. The push to do better everyday comes not only from within, but from the push of those YHC has chosen to be around these extra frosty mornings. It was a privilege to lead!

  • What was that? A spicy biscuit (VQ energy=running)

    11 warriors of the gloom showed up for YHC’s VQ. Tclaps to Gumbo for extra credit laps before the workout. Yesterday was 9 year anniversary for YHC and M. So you may see a theme.

    • 9 Abe Vigoda
    • 9 Windmills
    • 9 Jazzercise

    • 9 Freddy Mercury
    • 9 Heels to heaven
