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…

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.
