Yogi was the Q and led the charge with 52 Card Pickup! Each PAX pulled a card in rotating fashion. Diamonds resulted in diamond merkins, clubs required squats, hearts were burpees and spades were WWII’s. Within each suit ace = 15 reps, kings = 13 reps, queen = 12 reps, jack = 11, 10 = 10, 9 =9 and so on. Let’s not forget the Joker = 10 of any choice exercise. The deck was split in half with one stack uphill and the other down hill with an 80 yard hustle in between. All PAX pulled cards.

Many thanks to HGTV for organizing Honor Week!

At the end of the workout Yogi offered words of wisdom encouraging all not to hold it in and to lean on your brothers in arms, church family and others during hard times.

Announcements:
Kiffin let us know that Tuesday at Just Dough It they will be running F3 Tokens to Henry’s House. Henry is 9 years old and just beat stage 4 cancer!

Kitty Litter let us know that Monday at 88MPH we will begin The Murph and run down to Ritter do some stuff and run back to Waverly Place.

Prayers:
Life Alert just getting back from vacation working through family conflict.

Pickup mentioned Prayers for those in memory of veterans and those who have given all for our country this Memorial Day Weekend.

What a glorious morning to lead the the PAX.the weather was fantastic and the fellowship was even better. We started out with 2 laps around the church and quickly circled up for some SSH’s and good mornings. Next up 11’s in the parking lot (Merkins on one side Boat Canoes on the other). From there we headed over to Mookies Pickle and did 11 merkin/boat canoes at 3 corners and 12 of each at the final corner With about 10 minutes left we took the long way back to flag and proceeded to plank hold while random pax jumped rope.

3 + miles was achieved and we hit 100 merkins & boat canoes.

We had multiple ruckers and a big turnout of folks for the EC.

Grateful to lead the pax and prayers for Petey, My M for a speedy recovery from her surgery and safe travels for Sparky as he heads back to Wisconsin.

It was a great morning at the MDCH with some HIM. The SCary adjacent Carpex AO was participating in SCary’s high-respect/honor week but SL15 took over. YHC arrived to much applause and regale.

Short mosey with lots of arm warm ups for what turned out to be a leg-heavy beatdown.

Set of 15’s (counting by 3s) – diamond merkins/CDDs
Set of 15’s (counting by 3s) – single leg pulse, pulse, hinge/hallelujahs
Partner up for a LORA (leg DORA) – L/R step ups, squat jacks, monkey humpers
Slow mosey back to the flag stopping at every other grass spot for a CORA – WW2s, LBCs, Flutter kicks.

The flutter kicks were a hit.

Back to the flag just in time.

High-respect/Honor week continues in SCary. Convergence at GT next week. Lots of Memorial Day Murph options in the GCR.
COT: Yoga Mat’s coworker recovering from a stroke. Prayers for Pinto’s family friend whose husband committed suicide recently. Wanted to share something I shared yesterday at A Team.

The men standing beside you at workouts, through all the jokes, sweat, and banter, are more than just workout buddies. They’re brothers who are ready to listen. If you’re struggling, speak up. Find someone you trust and talk it out.

We often think strength means staying silent and pushing through, but real strength is found in asking for help. You’re not alone. You were never meant to be.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”

What’s Up Scary!

A very pleasant morning it was over in the land of up lighted $2M+ houses, pineapples and doggy treat vending machines (WTF).

21 gathered for the ME and I was thrilled with the group of men who decided to join me at JIU this am. A solid group of guys I wish I saw more often (gotta get over to Scary more often).

Started with a 1 mike pre run with Amway, Astro, Chipper, Kitty Litter and Home Grown. EHarmony was out on a ruck.

Pledge.

Standard Warm Up.

Mosey to the Big House Neighborhood for Mr T. We found some hills along with our inside voice (even Yogi and me) and worked the T along with a POS.

We all (we almost all) did 5 burpees every time the words What’s Up were said. I think we did about 40 extras.

Back to the park for a flawless Motivator.

Wrapped up with a set of 140s. Joe Smiff was confused. I really miss both Joe’s and JP’s voices. Smooth.

COT.
21 Pax.

Praises for a young Hank (middle schooler friend of Fleder family) who just wrapped up Chemo for his cancer. There was a big celly. God is good.

Prayers for Yogi who is working through some family and personal challenges. Keep your head up, Yogi!

Closed with a Prayer for Friends.

HGTV asked me to share some wisdom. For me, its be yourself and be thankful for the great stuff we have with our F3 Community. It’s the best.

Later
MIAGD.

7 PAX for a comfortably paced 6 @ 6. Humidity was high, but temp was spot on. Good conversation all around. Great way to start the day.

YHC is grateful for the opportunity to lead this fine group of HIM on his 4 year F3 anniversary. The beatdown itself was a standard IC Light beatdown (11s on the hill and 4 corners with legs and core primary focus), but this one meant more to YHC for some reason. The workouts are a great opportunity to improve one’s self and an opportunity to encourage PAX around you, but the bond and friendships that form as a result are life changing. YHC had that on his mind the entire workout. You all are loved and appreciated more than you know. Keep up the good work SCary!

Continued prayers for Petey and Yogi and a new prayer request for YHC’s best friend Chris who was diagnosed last week with prostate cancer.

High Respects and Honors next week. Get you a six pack they say…

MIAGD fellas!!!

1 joined our Carpex bros at Dollywood. One of my Parker Poe co-workers was an FNG. Keep this between us, but he’s going to be a South Cary guy (lives east of Shepherd’s Watch). I’ll get FNG Indy on Slack soon. TClaps to our Q, Coco Crisp, who was celebrating his 7th anniversary and is a good dude.

On May 6, 1527 Spanish and German imperial troops sacked Rome, ending the Renaissance. Since TikTok tells us the average man thinks about the Roman Empire at least daily, what better way to commemorate such a significant, yet tragic occasion.

We began with the march towards Rome, a running loop around the block. The obligatory South Cary stretches were incorporated as you can’t sack a city with cramped calves. On the way home, we stopped for some rock work to build our strength.

Upon our return, a four corners with 15 Flame Throwing Burpees against the mighty city walls, climbing Mt. Olympus 27 Mountain Climbers (just go with it), down the hole 15 CDDs, and crush their spirits 27 jump squats.

Charge Palatine hill 4x in a brave attempt to take the city, and then some themed Mary — Discipline Bear Holds, Roman Shield Lock Plank Shoulder Taps, Rubble Twists, last stand hollow hold. We finished with what else but Warrior yoga cool downs.

Sic transit gloria mundi. Don’t take for granted the gifts showered down on us from our Creator, the beauty of everything given to us on this Earth, and the time we have with loved ones. Even the mighty and glorious Roman Empire fell. So someday shall we all.
