increasing merkin ring of fire — PAX reached 4 before YHC called time

County tax dollars hard at work this morning when the maintenance guy comes to the back of the AO and parks his truck where we are doing the merkins, takes a measuring tape out and kind of measures the width of the blacktop path and then goes on his merry way. Hmm…? Was he really there to measure that small piece of pathway or was he checking in on us? Who knows? Anyways, what did measure up this morning was the PAX. They crushed it without too much complaining. What more could a Q ask for?

One morning in the winter of 1996, YHC was preparing to drive through the blizzard to work. The neighbor’s 9 year old daughter stopped him long enough to have a short snowball fight. He drove to work, worked the day and returned home. When he got home he found out that the neighbor’s family had gotten hit by a car and that the daughter had died and the mother was in the hospital for injuries. YHC had not thought about this until the Creek moved to its new location and he saw that there was a playground there dedicated to this little girl, who had been a student there at the time of her death.

Strong work was done by all

Thank you gentlemen, it was an honor to lead

We had nine morning warriors show up this morning in the gloom for the first sub 40 degree workout of the fall and here is how it went down:

Mosey to parking lot ran a lap to start warming up, 20 SSH, 10 DQ (slow), Bulkhead was missing the Harry Rockettes, so we lined up arm and arm and cranked out 10 reps. Emoji was trying to sing so we will need some more practice. We continued with 25 LBCs, 10 4-count merkins and 10 scorpions.

The Thang

CSBC – We start with the curbside bear crawl where we crawl from one island to the other island curb turn 180 degrees feet on curb and perform 1 Derkin we then go to the opposite side 2 Derkins repeat up to 13 reps. This was getting us warmed up.

4 corners – We divided into groups of 3 and the rotation was the following: Partner 1- ran a lap, Partner 2 stands for PLT with partner 3 performing PLT. At halfway point partner 1 shouts switch and we go to booyah merkins until partner 1 completes lap. Partner 3 starts next lap, partner 2 performs PLT partner 1 stand for PLT. We completed 4 rounds of this and we were close to finish time.

YHC had Pax walking lunge to first corner, Jail break (AYG sprint) to second corner, then mosey to Flag.

MOLESKIN

Nice to have some a cooler morning. Some thought that it was cold enough for long sleeves. YHC feel the golden rule should be long sleeves under 50. Some discussion was had over this

There is always humor when it comes to Mud Face and Chewy partnering up. This week was no acceptation. A couple times after Mud Face would come back from the run during the workout deck, Chewy was not to be found. Even for a teenager, Chewy still has some kid in him since was found on the jungle gym every time.

6 Burpees was YHC’s honoring 6 great years with his M the F3 way!

YHC was glad for the cooler morning for this workout, Emoji is excited to help with the Colonial 70 Challenge that starts early Saturday morning, like 0130 early. Good luck to the team and we look forward to catching up with the group next week when they will be in recovery mode.

YHC took the group out in prayer and mentioned Emoji’s coworker Becky whose Husband is suffering from multiple ailments and has been hospitalized. We pray for his recovery and to give strength to his family during this difficult time. We also prayed for Helix’s daughter Laura and her family as they are still going through testing and treatment. Thank you, No Idea, for the update.

See you in the Gloom … CB
