Nine men of great intellect threw off the lure of the Fart Sack, some while on the drive over, in the latest edition of The Dogpile. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to the dog walker suggesting we tone it down, the following might have happened:
Mosey towards the traffic circle, but stop at the intersection. SSHs, Dead Man Hang, downward dog, right leg, left leg, downward dog, pigeon left, pigeon right.
Mosey to the wooden barriers. Heels to Heaven x20.
Mosey to the grassy area on the corner of Park and Park. Circle up. Flutter kicks, little baby crunches, etc. Inverted scorpion kicks.
Mosey to burpee alley. CYOA. 3 merkins OR 1 burpee at each light post.
Circle up at the park on Park that’s not really a park. Touch a tree. Groups of three. 3 rounds. Touch a normal tree = 1. Touch a tree on the other side of the street = 2. Touch a full sized tractor = 3. Add up to 5 for each round, then swap. Two men run separately, one guy does an exercise. Swap after each runner returns, regardless of how many or how few exercises done. Griping about counting begins.
Mosey to the park that is a park. Triple check, but only 2 rounds. At the picnic tables, one guy does step ups. One guy does CYOA merkins. One guy runs to the light post. Minor griping about counting.
Staying on that same street, 2 burpees for trees on the left, 5 WWIIs (I think) on the right. Every time your total count gets to 15, go back one tree. Griping about counting continues.
Take a right at the corner. Tree on left is 10 monkey humpers. Tree on right is 5 squats. Man-made posts are 5 burpees. At the next “corner,” watch for high-speed traffic exiting the highway…
Mosey up to the school for a “curb crawl,” which is F3-speak for a bear crawl between curbs. Curb crawl one way, then do 3 derkins on the benches, and then run back to the starting curb. 3 rounds.
Mosey to the baseball fields, turn right, then mosey back to the park that is not a park.
Circle up. 2 rounds of touch a tree. Same counts, but total must be 7.
Mosey to Burpee Alley. 1 burpee or 3 merkins as we roll it back.
Mosey to the wooden barriers. Pole smokers x20.
Mosey to the intersection. SSHs x20, then traveling SSHs AMRAP. At failure, 5 burpees. AYG BTTVSF.
Numbers, names, and YHC took us out with a reminder that F3 is open to all men, not just white Christian men.
Announcements:
F3 RVA has three 3rd F activities (i.e., things that are not about you, but about being a part of something bigger than you). Two of those activities happen this month.
- Breaking Bread this month…Mr. Rogers has October 25, looking for a Q for October 26. See Oyster for details or sign up on the Q Sheet.
- The Bridge on October 25. Bootleg with the Q.
Let’s get out there and help make our 3rd F activities happen.
NMS:
YHC scheduled a Mystery Q today. Mystery meaning…not much of a plan. But, with a group of studs assembling at 5:55 wondering who the Q was, YHC figured he had better not disappoint. So, off campus we went. Nice work from all those who posted.
A few weeks ago, a number of us met with our local area Nantan, Gomer Pyle. One of our reminders was that F3 is not a Christian organization, but one that is open to all men. As our national Nantan said (and I’m paraphrasing) when asked whether a trans-male could join, “We took you, didn’t we? Otherwise, if you want check, go ahead. But, the person is open to doing burpees, he’s in.”
Our biggest opportunity is to welcome all men. Bodo’s noted this week that suicides, depression, and loneliness are at epic levels in our country, especially among men. We have had incredible success recruiting lately, especially in the west end. Let’s keep it going!
