Another strong showing at Accelerator this morning. Yuge turnout, actually. People are saying it was the best ever. Today’s discussion was all about finding balance and being intentional with our time, especially when it comes to the ever-elusive work-life balance. A key takeaway was a fully self-driving Cybertruck is probably the best way to create a better balance. Thanks Kiffin! Great conversation, fellas, make it a great day.

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.

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.

MIAGD!!!!

12 Booters, 6 Runners, 7 Coupons
6 teams of 2, 4 teams of 3, and 2 teams of 6
The bootcamp was a lot of running in circles and sometimes carrying coupons. Team 2 beat Team 1 with 28 laps compared to like 7 or 8…but I trust their score was accurate.

OK enough about the workout. The best part was after we took off from the flag. As we circled the lot @Term Paper looks to the paviliion and sees a group of guys and says, “Oh look there’s some guys, wow they are even doing the pledge…..and have a flag!” That’s when pax politely filled him in that that was SWWINGERS! Bhahaha!!

It was a great morning – well the company was, the humidity was NOT. Make it a great weekend!!

13 HIM took over Waverly Place this morning. Started with intro and Pledge and then off we went.

Moseyed a bit to another parking lot were we got warmed up. YHC didn’t have the full workout planned beforehand, but things came together nicely as we went.

The intent this morning was to keep all PAX engaged and moving with a full body focus. We started with Core Corners were we hit core exercises at the top and bottom of the two sets of stairs flanking the turf area. After several rounds of that we grabbed a bench or half-wall for back to back rounds of erkins and dips. 10 reps erkins right in to 10 reps of dips. Shake out arms and rinse repeat. We then headed to another set of steeps stairs for 7s with squats and jump squats being the flavor of the moment. We knocked out some calf raises as well before heading back to the turf for some bear crawls, crawl bears, crab walks and planks. Popcorn Mary to wrap things up.

It was a pleasure and honor to lead this studly groups of HIM.

Kitty…thanks for dropping the flag and coffee off before heading to Krypto for your epic beatdown.

Great turnout for our soft launch / first attempt at having a 3rdF-focused Saturday run group. We discussed Luke 9:23-24 along the way and the conversation went to all kinds of places, from sacrifice and prayer to jobs, to societal shifts, to basketball, to managing finances, to a brief detour about public schools, to teaching our kids about frugality and needs versus wants, and more. 4.6ish miles covered. Finished with Mary at LNL. Thanks for coming out today guys, I hope it catches on. Let’s take up that cross daily. MIAGD.

It was a beautiful morning in SCary and 24 strong posted to take advantage! The clock struck 6:30 and a disclaimer was stumbled through. The pledge was pledged and we left the parking lot on a slow warm-up mosey. Some went right, most went left down to the tennis courts for some flying warmups.

Half ran the pickle, half AMRAP’d the called exercise.
SSH
Mountain Climbers
Plank Jacks

Depart the tennis courts and over to the first round-about. This is where I called Dora’s pet mouse, “Speedy Gonzales”.
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 squats
While your partner sprints the round-about.

Then we did an 8+2 up the hill to the flag. 8 steps bear crawl, 2 merkins, wash, rinse, repeat to the flag.

At the flag repeat the “Speedy Gonzales” on the larger round-about
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 LBC’s
Afterwards, reverse it.

Drop down for SCary stretch and afterwards, slow mosey to the bottom of the parking lot.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot to the flag, recover mosey around the round-about and back down the hill.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot half the distance and then circle up for popcorn Merry. We finished up with an @amway honoring set of 20 Merkins.
PERFECT!

– Shoutout to @amway for putting on a spectacular F3 challenge – the bar has now been set pretty high
