NMS: The pax humored me with a Leap Year Themed workout. The morning was interjected with various Leap Year facts. These include:

• The 1st Leap Year was instituted in 46 BC by Julius Ceasar. Any year divisible by 4 was a leap year.
• Chances of having a bday on Feb 29: 1 in 1,461
• Leap year proverbs: “Leap Year was Ne’er a good sheep year” (Scotland) “In leap year, women are erratic.” (Italy)
• Leap Year Day is the only day that women were encouraged to propose to a man
• People born on Feb 29 are called Leaplings or Leapers. The Honor Society of Leap Year Day babies includes more than 11K people.

Announcements: Handshake Q at Dogpile on Saturday.

Prayer Requests: Bone Thugs parents both have Covid. His father is in poor health and has been to the ER twice.

NMS – not alot of Mumble Chatter today, given we were on the move the whole time. Glad to have been able to take the Q, especially since Bodos is in Texas and wasn’t able to turn on his Hype Machine. Backblast title comes from the fact Senor Frog requested an offsite mosey when we talked yesterday. YHC had already be considering it, but just like Carson Daly, YHC obliged the request.

A 6-pack in numbers but not necessarily in abs, a number of geriatrics and post-adolescents arrived for a workout worthy of an assisted-living facility. Copious running, merkins, and ab-workouts were offered.

YHC is thankful for those who made it this morning and for F3 as a whole.

A lucky 7 arrived amidst nearly identical conditions to the F3 mantra – 70 and sunny. YHC was up at 2AM for a work call so had ample to plan the workout – but didn’t. As will be obvious in this array of very familiar exercise options at 45MOM.

Mosey to front of school for COP – dead man’s hang, SSHs, Don Quixotes, Helicopters, Merkins and Flutters.

Mosey to Blacktop for a Triple Check – Balls to the Wall, LBCs and runner Karaoke’s to fence and back.

Mosey to big field – starting at one end of field, at each tree perform an exercise. Round 1 5 squats, Round 2 5 Merkins, Round 3 10 LBCs. This was once called 11s when we had 11 trees along Cary but with so many now cut down who knows what the right number is. YHC in his sleepy mode did not bother to count.

Mosey to monkey bars and circle up in an incline plank position. One of the PAX does 5 pullups while others are doing incline Merkins. 2 Rounds

Mosey to tennis courts for suicides. Round 1 – run to other side of first court and do 1 burpee, run back, run to far side of second court and do 2 burpees, run back, …until the fourth court. Round 2 – same suicides but with 5, 10, 15, 20 squats.

Mosey to the Pavilion and partner up. One partner does 10 Pole Smokers while the other does Lt Dans. We did 3 rounds and time was up.

Numberama, Namerama, announcements and YHC took us out. Appreciate being a part of this group – why else would I come out so early for a group workout after being up the previous 3-4 hours on a work call unless it was something rewarding and enjoyable. Enjoy in the summer weather in January!!
