10 HIM tested fate this morning at Jack It Up. The three ECers got a sneak preview, while the rest had to wait. No flag as it was in Spade’s “other truck” so off we go. Mosey down and around the sheep loop. Standard warm-ups then the fun began.

The Wheel of Pain came out of hibernating and was ready to dole out a solid beatdown. Each PAX took a turn with fate and per typical wheel magic we hit every slice. HG gave us the final spin and ‘somehow’ it magically ended up on burpees. Pickle between each round, pax choice, sheep loop or small pickle + plank hold while waiting for the sheep loopers. 5k covered for some, rock solid abs achieved for others.

Odyssey in October, Culture week coming in November.
Prayers for Gravel Mouth’s fire academy test coming up.

Stick around long enough at coffeeteria and you might even get to meet someone considering becoming Senator Mark Kelly’s personal assistant.

This morning’s workout started with a quick intro and pledge. We then moseyed to the parking lot across the street for warmups (SSH, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Calf Stretches, Runner’s Stretches and Merkins.

YHC lead the PAX down Tryon to the Tunnel where we did 11s which consisted of Burpees at the far end of the tunnel and plank jax at the top of the hill on the near side of the tunnel. Clear instructions were not provided b/c some PAX attempted to cut the distance wanting to do exercises at each end of the tunnel. Clarity was provided and all was good after that.

Once we concluded the 11s, a few rounds of core exercises were performed before heading back to the SW parking lot. On our way back to the parking lot we made a few random stops for monkey humpers and American Hammers (in honor of Chipper’s leadership launching SW).

We had a few minutes to kill once we arrived at the SW parking lot so we did a quick Thang 2 which was the Triple Check. It was simple to do, but too much to explain here (if interested you can look it up in the F3 Exicon). We finished out with the plank hold.

It was great to be back at the Premier AO in South Cary (and I’ll go as far as saying the Greater Carpex Region). Thank you for the opportunity to lead this great group of HIM. May we go forth and encourage and lift each other up (everyone around us) as we did this morning.

Much love!

20 HIMs got together for an awesome workout. We started with the mission statement ( I nailed it by the way) followed by the pledge. We all headed up to the WF parking lot for some SSh’s, Sir Fazio arm circles and Mountain Climbers. We proceeded to do some forward and backwards running thru the parking lot and to my joy no one ran into an island. Next stop was the toast parking lot were we focused on AB’s and Merkins. Once we finished there we headed down to the lawn and did a solo Dora which included 25 dips, 50 merkins and 100 squats. Each separated with a run around the pickle. We headed back to the flag for some Mary. Some were faster than others.

Announcements: F3 dad’s camping trip in October, the Rim to Rim team still has openings if you want to join this weekend. Green level is hosting the Odyssey in mid October. As usual check slack for details

15 for Power Hour with various weights/bells in the pouring rain. The rain caught me off guard. My plan required us to stay in one place, so we all took a direct aquatic hit. On the plus side, this is a workout I won’t forget. I tip my hat to 14 gentlemen who leaned right into it. I tip my hat a second time to everyone for farmers carrying all the weights back to my car. High impact men everywhere you look at Shepherd’s Watch.

NMS:

*Always great to see our guy Pet Sounds. We should all be circulating a little more than we are.
*1988 Donruss would have labeled Dookie a “Rated Rookie.” Let’s get him into Slack.
*+1 to Unitard and Bubba for tag-teaming the battle rope
*+1 to Grisham for lugging the deceptively heavy slamball
*I will stop hogging the Q sheet, starting……now.

10 South Cary identifying HIMs (at least that I saw from the pic) joined the 9/11 Stair Climb Convergence with the GCR. 9 stair climbed and one rucked. The handrails were gross and Hermes yelled at us not to use them…not due to sanitation. Great time and meaningful occasion. Thanks to Parker and crew for pulling it off on short notice!

Another AMBRR is in the books fellas. A huge shout out to the entire SAG Crew for all they did to make this a successful event. There is a lot that goes on behind the scene leading up to the event and during. I can’t thank them enough for their leadership.

Under the darkness of the early morning sky at 0600, 31 runners set out to achieve something. What that “something” was was different for each of us. Some ran for fun and fellowship, others ran to beat a previous time or distance and others ran to prove to themselves that they could run a 10K or a Half Marathon. Whatever that something was, I am hopeful we all achieved what we intended to.

I am grateful for F3 and how it has impacted my life and for the relationships formed over the past couple of years…

You all crushed it this morning! Do the same the rest of today as well. MIAGD!!!

16 HIMs for the best 33 minute workout of the day!

Yogi had the Q and started off with a speech. Then out we went for a big lap around the church back to the southwest portico for warm-ups. Back to the flag for the thang.

The thang was 11s with burpees and squats…including a longer than necessary explanation of 11s so Term Paper could understand.

After that was completed at 0605, we circled up expecting extended Mary…but got extended COT instead. Captain Jack should be proud as COT concluded right at 0615.

We welcomed FNG Dookie to the fold. Shout out to Monday FNG Bobby Hull for completing a Yogi 3 pack on his first week!

AMBRR, 9/11 stair climb, praises for Yogis 8 year anniversary, prayers for Jax. MIAGD, gents.

10 for Yogi’s Anvil and 6 stretching bros including one that had to make up some ground. We learned a lot about Bubba’s Carbon Footprint as Yogi’s 8 yr 5 pack continues. If you ever wondered if a bear shits in the woods, I don’t know the answer, but I do know that they use the ports-John’s in the Waverly Parking lot. Prayers for all the runners this weekend.
