Pax all took turns calling their favorite exercises. Ended doing a full loop around school with 23 being right where we started. 23 days of December.

Lots of mumble chatter including Bob Ross comments which caused me to call for 100 merkins and 50 Drydocks at intervals.

Way to win the day fellas!

Four brazen warriors started strong on a perfect morning for a beatdown by the wolf. Things couldn’t have started any better…then came…the smell. Not one of those smells that come from the exhaust of our brothers during a solid stretch of LBCs or WW2s, but one of those smells that slap you in the face, cause your head to jerk backwards, and give you the feeling that you may very well spill merlot. Be it a decaying carcass left by the mythical wolf itself, or an overflowing port o john, we will never know. But it followed us all the way around the track and punched each of us right in the sniffers over and over again. Couldn’t be more proud of the guys as they pushed through, we couldn’t stop…we were committed to the workout, though a little dry heaving may have ensued at different times during the pain. Well done men!

Let’s break it all down-

Warmarama:

SSHx30, helicopters, DQ, Jazzercise, Russian Soldiers, Imp Walkers, Hillbillies, 3 count calf raises, 3 count buttkickers, merkins, LBCs, Flutter Kicks, Hello Dolly, Rosalita

The Thang:

Mosey to the track. This is where the stacks started and the stench made itself known…during the entire stacked mile. Front stretch, back stretch, the pain was REAL. The plan was to stack the exercises. Begin at 10, run a lap, same 10 and add 20 of another exercise, run a lap, 10, 20, 30 run a lap, 10, 20 , 30 , 40 run a lap. Exercises were 10x burpees, 20x ball dippers, 30x drydocks, 40x squats. Somehow, we all pushed through. Well done gents.

Mosey to the basketball courts. Four corners lady of the night style…and stacked focusing on core. Same numbers and plan 10/20/30/40 at each corner. First corner was heels to heaven, second – flutter kicks, then back to first and re-do H2H back to start. Back to first corner10x H2H, 20xFK, 30x Freddie Mercury at 3rd corner, back to FK/H2H back to start. Re-run the stack and finish at fourth corner with 40 LBCs, back through the gauntlet.

Abs on fire, we still had 6 min left so we played a little door to door salesman. Each door has a number on it, and each PAX calls out an exercise. We do the amount to match the number on the door. We hit four doors with the numbers 14, 15, 16, 17 on each respective door. Exercises were 14x merkins, 15x donkey kicks, 16x ???, 17 x WW2, Merkins, and Lt Dans to honor our veterans with a military theme finisher.

Mosey to the flag. YHC took us out. A brief discussion on the importance of this day and giving thanks to our service men and women and keeping them all in our prayers. Honoring all that either have served, or are still serving, on a day that is meant for them and the sacrifices they gave to protect our freedom. Remembrance of Nancy’s father who was a Marine and served his final post just a year and a half ago. Oorah Mr. Saylor. Prayers to the Saylor family for continued healing and that he may continue to look down and guide the family. Prayers for mental resolve for all that may be suffering post service. Prayers to the men of F3 that we may continue to lead in our communities and continue to grow as fathers, husbands, and men in our communities. Continue to give us all the strength and motivation to lead.

Thanks as always gents, it’s always an honor attacking the gloom with each of you and having the opportunity to lead when the opportunity presents itself. Happy Veterans day to all of our F3 brothers that served…THANK YOU!

Four New Marketers, and one Rountrey Beast soldiered through the cold morning in a Hot potato that finished with some POG strategery (a la GWB) to avoid the Backblast. In his spirit, I will add what I know his backblast would have consisted of. “Five guys got up and worked out”. (More to come on how he avoided the recap.) But First…

Honeymoon kicked things off hot with the potato in his hands.

Warmup:

DQ, Imperial Walkers, Jazzercise, SSH, Deadman Hang, Merkins, 6in to LBC, Freddie Mercury, Plank

The Thang:

Mosey to the benches out front. 10x dips, 10x incline merkins. Repeato x5 with 15 sec breaks in between. Lactic acid burning, we mosey to the light poles for a little game of light pole alley. (start with 10 of called exercise, run to last light pole, do 10 of same exercise and run back reducing one pole per run.) Pax took turns choosing exercises as we made our way down the alley. POG kicked us off with burpees, we moved down Pax with squat jumps, toe kickers, merkins, lunges, WW2’s, heels to heaven, monkey humpers, I think there was one more I’m missing here, but I do know that we bear crawled the last stretch…it was early…

Honeymoon tossed the potato to POG. Different stretch of light poles by the bus parking. Do 10x ball dippers and 10x flutter kicks at each light pole all the way around to the flag. This is where POG, as if he were playing a game of Risk, tosses the potato to yours truly with 5 minutes left to avoid typing up the backblast. Knowing his strategy, and his passion for recapping our workouts, we continued to the poles past the flag doing burpees at each additional light pole until time was up. However, we had .07 miles left to hit the 2 mile mark in addition to the exercises, so we finished up by running around the cones and hitting our mark.

Announcements:

Gypsy reached out asking for donations for a clothing drive to help men in need acquire professional dress attire to help with job interviews. I will be consolidating donations for SOJ brothers to get to him. I will try to do my best to make it to all SOJ AOs this month, so if you have any, please bring with you, or feel free to give to any of the SH regulars if I can’t for any reason. Or you can reach out to me directly if you have something to donate and I will coordinate with you individually or make it a point to get to your AO on the given day that you wish to bring your donation.

Reach out to your brothers that have shown some inconsistency recently. We know the dark and cold mornings are where our brothers will fall off. Let’s make a concerted effort to motivate each other to challenge the gloom as the days get darker and colder.

Honeymoon took us out in prayer. Solid day gents, thanks for posting and pushing me as always. Especially you POG…well played…
