Ten at JDI for ‘hint of Strava Art’, consisting of 2 miles of sprinting, and 3 miles of the Q catching up. FWD was peeped across Tryon coming down SCary’s most dangerous hill, which was not intentional. There was also an Enhancements (?) flyby in Lochmere I think… headlamp was v bright!

9 at COT, but Wonderbread rejoined for coffee and bagels. It is a gift to be alive, MIAGD!

With one car in the parking lot at 0528, looking like we will audible and run for 45 minutes. At 0529 the SB halftime hangover was broken and the PAX arrive.

No flag, since we saw plenty of red white and blue during halftime. Off we go. Mile to the pull up bar where there was much consternation and anxiety. We traced the pickle with a merkin at each light pole, then split into two groups. One group pickled while the other worked pull ups, merkins, squats. Switch and repeat. Pull-up quota met for the week. 8 minute mile back to the flag. 6 PAX now have a detailed view of the Kendrick/Drake beef thanks to ChatJoeSmithGPT.

DDD 2/22
Highland Games at Easter along with SCary picnic upcoming.

Solid group of AKOA + 5 at the Escalator today. Had a robust discussion on “doing things that matter”. What’s does that mean? In a Christian context and outside of it. What do we do that matters at home, at work and in other circles?

Couple takeaways:
-we under estimate what we are able to do and don’t push ourselves to pursue the big things.
-standard response to your kid or wife asking you to do something with them should be “yes” by rule, no by exception
-be the same person at work that you are at F3 (in the good ways)
-make someone’s day better because of you or something you did
-seek to please God in whatever sphere you’re in
-invest in relationships over tasks and things

Thanks for joining and discussing today, gents.

7 bootcampers and 6 run broz on this lovely 55 degree morning at the best 0545 bootcamp in all of South Cary!

Mosey to Java Jive for standard warmups on some very smooth and slippery pavement.

On to the golf course parking lot for some pax choice exercises. Worst choice goes to Francois for his bear crawl with 4 merkins on each parking line extravaganza. Longest to decide award to HoppinJohn.

Crossed the bridge over to the loch highlands stop light sign to start 15s. Lunges at the bottom, squats at the top.

Mosey back to the flag for an on time completion.

World’s Greatest EC Ocho on 2/15 at LnL launches at 0505 – beige broz are in. DDD 2/22. AKOA week concludes tomorrow. Prayers for Kiffin’s neighbor with ALS

Headed north this morning to bring some of that JIU pizzazz to the Krypto krowd.
We ran.
I called exercises.
A few of the PAX even performed the exercises I called.
A few of those even counted.
Concensus was that they did add more streetlights along Ederle on the way to Penny.
All in all we had a blast and covered some ground.
Excellent coffee and hospitality by Nabs.
MIAGD!

The Convenience Store Workout -7/11s

Warm up with paint the lines, SSH, imperial walkers, and good mornings.

Over the far parking lot for:
7s – merkins and CDD
11s – lunges and jump squats

Back to near the flag lot:
7s – bear crawl and hand release merkins
11 descending merkins variations

Thought of the day – What do you do out of convenience instead of what is best or right? F3 is a push to do the hard thing and have guys help you do it. What other areas do you need to step up in?

Prayers for Kelly from Bubba.

MIAGD!

It was a real honor to lead the Dough Boys today.
True to promise, we went Outward Then Withdrew.

Kildaire -> Greenway -> Ederlee

Thanks for the push this morning as I hit my PB on that awful hill up Kildaire and shoutout to Petey for his first JDI post.

Merkins on a string to Waverly today to visit our brothers at 88 MPH for a rock, paper, scissors throwdown. Francois was nominated as the Krypto representative and promptly lost to Bubba. 10 Burpees for the losers. Back to Koka with more merkins on the way. Arrived with enough time for some popcorn Mary.

Mixed emotions by many about being used as pawns in the Worlds Scariest Man Challenge, and much heckling ensued. Deep down it warmed the hearts of all pax involved.

There was still snow on the ground too!!

11 Boot Campers camped and 8 Run Bros Ran.

Boot campers were lead to the parking lot behind Ritter off Crescent Green. Amway lead the Pax in warm ups and then had all previous SWW Site Qs lead an exercise. He then turned it over to YHC to lead the ME. We moseyed back to the lot at SWW where we did modified coupon circuits with a long pickle run in between each circuit. Music was on the agenda (play list was epic), however, the speaker had other ideas. Mumble chatter was on point. We ended with plank-holds and chill-cuts for Mary.

Announcements: SCary Family Picnic 4/27, The Highland Games 4/19 and DDD 2/22. Oh and YHC has been recruited to fill the Big shoes of Brie as Co-Site Q of SWW (some equated it to Belichick going to UNC…which could be taken many ways). It’s and honor and privilege to serve as Co-Site Q with Amway.

I’ll leave you with this…F3 gives us an opportunity to encourage one another and build each other up each morning during workouts. Use that to set the stage for the rest of your day. Carry over that encouragement to your family, friends, co-workers and anyone you encounter throughout the day. The world needs more of that.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

MIAGD!!!
