Last night YHC dm’d Sbarro letting him know I had an itch to Q if for any reason he didn’t. He was gracious enough to just let me have it so we decided it would be fun if he started the warm up and just tossed me the keys

So that’s what happened! Pax were stunned, shocked, speechless, mindblown (probably) but they played it cool like they were confused or didn’t really care haha!!

Lots of pickles and partner work this morning. Each Thang involved partner work.

We ran pickles in opposite directions as our partners and did partner exercises when we passed by each other:

Pickle 1: 5 Monkey Humpers and then increasing Patty Cake Merkins each time you reached your partner
Pickle 2: Weave the pickles with 5 pickle pounders and then 5 Toddler Squats each time you reached your patner.
Pickle 3: 5 Squat jumps and then 3 Bropees each time.

Back near the flag for a down and back of Duck Walking and Broad Jump Burping.

COT with NoR/CoR/Prayer and Prasies!

Thanks fellas! Great turnout for a hurricane day!! And thanks to Sbarro again for allowing me to steal his Q.

We stretched.
We pickled.
We conquered Mount Inferno.
We planked.

It was like Mount Doom mixed with Free Solo.

We listened to the same angry song on repeat for 45 minutes.

Great workout, guys!

Problematic (or almost problematic?) day at the premier Tuesday boot camp actually located in south cary!

Took the long way over to the Lowe’s foods parking lot for warmups. Then headed over to the Ortho parking lot for three rounds of four corners. First round was 9 diamond merkins at each corner, second round was 24 jump squats and then third round was 83s.

Then we headed towards the park with an illegal road crossing in front of Cary’s finest (no trespassing tho!) and then a pause to monkey hump the JDI broz (of which there were many!) before heading to the shelter for 41 dips, 41 I/urkins, and a 41 second derkin hold.

Back to the flag for popcorn mary and COT right before the dome gave out. Coffee at the shelter!

Prayers for my nextdoor neighbor Sharon in dealing with the sudden passing of her husband yesterday, prayers for Useful’s job search. Grateful to start another year feeling . MIAGD, gents!

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.

Today we celebrated by reaching a 2 mile goal, doing a BLIMPS along the way.

Celebration. Sharing our gifts. The M and I went to a fundraiser last night. Was amazed at the amount of wealth being donated in live auction format to meet monetary goals for a Wake Co. ministry called A Doorway to Hope. This org helps families and individuals in need across the Wake. We contributed where we could but the point is that all these people gathered and doing their best to share. Regardless of status, social placements, where you’re at in life, etc., we all have unique gifts. These gifts can and should be shared. It’s ok to celebrate the fact that you can share, use your gifts, your strengths to help others. Gifts can be anything – wealth, skills, etc. Doing this within F3 offers unique opportunities for each of us to help others. There are lots of events thru the year that F3 guys create and promote. Last night’s event reminded me that we need to celebrate those guys, those ideas, that joining them is the right thing to do, to help them to help others. Celebration helps get the word out.

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!

10 souls came out for what was supposed to be an Iron PAX Challenge recovery day but instead received a 5 inning beatdown on the F3 baseball diamond. F3 baseball is nothing like real baseball, except there are bases and there might also be some whining.

Ended with newly coined sir fazio wrist circles to ease of pain from crab walking. I believe the passerbys were very impressed with this.

Great work by the men and great to see DEET out there with us!

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
