A gentlemenly six pack arrived at Mary to witness a tale of two Gerrys. There was an abundance of banter coupled with a variety of physical challenges suitable for all age ranges and abilities. Moleskin: Apparently Big Data is still a thing, and one can watch their statistics steadily increase in real-time from the comfort of their couch, no workout necessary. You can thank Splinter and his side-hobby for this one. Saab (and TYA) abide…when able

Fifteen gentlemen and scholars arrived at Mary today with no enticement needed other than seeing Splinter on the Q. After the northern peacock strutted his stuff to our visitor and then shielded himself with the wall named Swirly, off we went to the blacktop for today’s 45MoM fun.

Today’s SOJ takeover at Mary Mumford brought forth a unique vibe with the Silver Sneakers edition. The spirit of camaraderie was alive as TYA, Saab, Oyster, 1-800, Hitchhiker, and Heist gathered for a session that combined fitness with some good laughs. The workout kicked off with a Warm-A-Rama around a painted America, a.k.a. ‘Murica. I first ripped through the official F3 mission statement: to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership (I think the guys were impressed). Started with side straddle hops (of course), nice and slow Don Quixotes, dead man…

7 Tree Touchers descended on the forest surrounding Mary Munford’s campus for this week’s edition of 45MOM. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, YHC arrived wide awake thanks to the 2.0’s recent chapter of the 4 month old sleep regression. YHC thought the 3am and 4am wakeups were a thing of the past, but the 2.0 proved the opposite the last couple of weeks. As Hitchhiker approached at 5:29:56, YHC took off towards Grove a brief 4 seconds later. Mosey around the school, circle up near the globe on the blacktop for COP COP SSHs, DQs, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Scorpion…

For the first time in 364 days YHC stuck to his Q sheet sign up and welcomed a crew of 5 plus YHC to another Thursday Gloom at Mary. Upon arrival YHC wasn’t sure of a few things: where to park at Mary Munford =>YHC moved twice numbers to expect given a heavy week of VQs => a super 6 including a downrange visitor YHC assumed was Canadian (Hoser of F3 Franklin, TN) how much rust is evident when this is YHC’s 2nd Q in the last 3 years => a lot more than you’d like how out shape is…
