  • Over and over and over again!!

    8 mostly burly men arose this morning through the gloom and some snowflakes falling to find out out what Boberry had in store. Only Boberry was warm in his sack and YHC took the Q for a birthday Q. Even though 49 years of mileage was on his body YHC felt a little lighter on his feet today. According to the Groundhog here is what went down.

    COP- 49 SSH, 9 each: DQ’s, cherry pickers, helicopters, Jazzercise, IW’s, Merkins.

    The Thang: Do 49 of called exercise and run a lap. Over and over and over again. Just like the movie a repeato fest!! Each exercise performed 2 times for a set, alternate between AG’s and planks for the six. Exercises were Merkins, Squats, Carolina Drydocks, LBC’s, Toe taps on curbstops, Plank jacks and ball dippers. So to my calculations that was 18 laps around the parking lot and according to Wilson’s watch 2.6 miles. At 6:12 YHC called for last exercise of 49 Burpees only to call foul and BTF. YHC never does burpees and a birthday present to PAX, time was up.

    Announcements Kindred Spirits Wednesday 6pm end of dry January.

    Glow for Galactosemia 5K 2/28 4pm. See slack for details.

    YHC took us out in prayer.

    I feel very lucky to have found F3 and PAX. Yes I wish I found when I was a younger man but no regrets. Thank Wilson for EHing me and dragging me out. I find a lot of strength in the the 3 F’s and thank all of you. Just being part of F3 pushes me to be a better person and a better man. I thank you for letting me lead! Make today Awesome!

  • Liquid Nitrogen

    YHC looked at the temp outside and saw a brisk 14 degrees but it felt more like 70 with the wind. YHC drive to the flag due to wondering if others would brave the frostbite. Luckily Rosetta and Wilson lumbered down Satan’s Hill to get warmed up.

BTF and YHC took us out in prayer quickly as to not stop moving.

  • Snowball Fight

    YHC rolled into Timberwolf right at the bell for a little fun in the snow. 6 PAX awaited. YHC considered why we did not stay on Satan’s Hill but alas Boberry would have been lonely. YHC was surprised it was snowing considering it was 70 degrees. Nonetheless according to the brave cafeteria workers who arrived here is what went down.

Squats, mountain climbers, and 2 others that escape me. 2nd time around school stop at 2nd corner. Snowball fight. Hit the backboard with a snowball from 3 point line and workout would change. 6 PAX missed including QB1 (aka POG). YHC last up nailed it and made a hoop with remains. 4 corners begins on basketball court with 4 x50 on corners. Move to tennis courts and repeato.
