YHC, aka The Cowboy Q, took the group for a mosey down memory lane with some Christmas Movie Trivia. Started with an arm focused warm up followed by trivia questions at each end of the 0.1 mile parking lot hill. Each question had an associated workout and a set of penalty burpees if the PAX answered incorrectly. Surprisingly, not many burpees were completed, and even less would have been completed had @Term Paper been paying attention. We did learn that @French Lick knows his Christmas movies. Made it back to the flag for one last question prior to enjoying some grass infused coffee. Prayers for Snip’s sister and Astro’s ankle. Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning. MIAGD.

Beautiful morning it was, just as Sherpa promised.
Chipper, Hallmark, and Sherpa for various variants of ECs. No sign of running crew, they might just be that fast.
For the ME, the PAX moseyed up Kildare to the medical center parking deck, stopping to warm up along the way. Also as Sherpa promised, Al Gore’s were in the mix as well as Global Warming (yes, it’s in the Exicon).
Parking deck work consisted of suicides with increasing reps of 5 at each level. Deck 1 merkins, deck 2 starfish crunches, deck 3 alternating side squats. We ran out of time and never made it to parking deck 4, so the PAX lucked out since burpees were next. Moseyed back to the flag with an extra lot loop to hit 3.2 miles.
Chipper mastered the COT announcements, see channel.
Prayers for those struggling with addiction, and praise for fellowship and giving back to causes that we are passionate about.
MIAGD!

3 arrived early and Snip motivated us into a .5 mile EC run. Astro seemed to approve. After the pledge we moseyed past the sheep and warmed up with some South Cary stretching. The main event was Pain Train BLIMPS. YHC fumbled the explanation and some pax are awaiting this backblast to know what the heck they did. The exercises were Bear crawls, Lunges, Imperial walkers, Mercans, Plank jacks, and Squats. We stopped at each station on the way out and on the way back. Stations were made up on the fly with whatever tree, light pole, sewer grate, or other landmark looked convenient which added to the ~confusion~ fun.
After that the Q wanted to bring variations of some recent PT exercises for all the pax to enjoy. The collective groan at the announcement of side-plank-star-crunches will uplift YHC for the rest of the day. As the pax started balking at different variations of side plank exercises we veered back into one more stop at each BLIMPS station on our way back to the flag. A quick round of Mary closed us out. It was a pleasure to lead today, and keep working those side planks!
Praises for Bubba who shared some of his long journey which leads to him celebrating 14 years with his M today!
And continued prayers for Snip’s sister and her family.
MIAGD!

We started off this morning with intro, disclaimer, mission and pledge. Moseyed to the Lowe’s parking lot for warmups. Didn’t stay long because we were already warm by the time we got there.

We headed to the Cary Ortho building parking lot where we did 11s (merkins and squat-jumps). Upon completion, we switched to Thang 2 which was Core Corners. After three rounds of core exercises (LSF, plank jax and LBC) we headed back to the flag.

One Pax got tripped up on the uneven sidewalk on the way back, but thankfully, didn’t get too scraped up. Once back to the flag we had a few minutes so we knocked out a couple 4x4s.

Prayers for the BRR participants, those facing medical issues and all unspoken requests. YHC took us out in prayer.

Great group this morning. Had a lot of fun.

What a day to celebrate the GLUE of F3! 30 showed up to get better and to get to know their fellow PAX.

We moseyed around both pickles and warmed up inside the park with a brief recap of yesterday’s topic. Then it was three rounds of GLUEs (Getups, LRstepups, Urkins, E2k) prior to circling back for the headlamps.

Thang 2 was a fellowship partner run to the bridge. We did some partner clap merkins on the way, and some partner WW2s on the way back.

Thang 3 was 2 truths and a lie. If a PAX fooled the crew, we did burpees. If not, the PAX does burpees. Approx 7 rounds, then circle up in Plank. We learned about how a few PAX got their names. French Lick spiked down the opportunity that I didn’t even realized that I had set. So good.

Back to the flag in a slightly asterisky fashion, and that was it.

Special thanks to Oofta for the consult on the content of today’s workout. Culture week rolls on a Point Break tomorrow.

14 showed up to flirt with disaster this Tuesday morning. Mission, principles & pledge.

Some walked and the others went on a classic Snip FWD loop.
Mosey to the medical parking lot to warm up.
Good mornings, control freak merkins, sunshine merkins, SSH’s.
Mosey to the highway for irkins on the overpass towards Seabrook with merkins in between.
Down to McDonald Park for some dips.

Said hello to the Dough-it Boys.
Mosey to the bridge (walk it up backwards) for merkins – BTTW – merkins.

Mosey to the commonly known “bottom of the hill” for full Jack webs but with added on hallelujahs (80).

Mosey to the balls for some irkins. Mosey to the flag for some Mary and a quick last minute man makers to finish us off.

Culture week next week, VQ Week after that.
Prayers: we focused on friends, family members battling cancer in honor of Snip’s sister Hayward. Honor to wear pink shorts this morning. Also lifting up Wing’s brother in Niger, Dumas’ M who is getting a lump removed, Breezy’s relative Jerry battling and others, spoken or not.

MIAGD Men!
