Co-Q Credit: Kitty Litter

4 for a non-:turtle: EC down to Kildare and back. An additional 30 gathered for a New Year’s Day Region-Anniversary Site-Launch extravaganza! We had an FNG, so we stumbled through the mission and core principles on the way to a FOLLOW ME around the small pickle to the dock for warmups. The PAX counted off by 1s and 2s and we headed for the rock pile.

Kitty Litter kept the 1s for rock work and Jigglypuff took the 2s for 7s on the hill. We flipflop’d after 10 minutes and repeato’d. Reconvene to put the rocks back and mosey to the flags.

At the flags, Mary consisting of the exercises created by the PAX last year – the M2H, Stingray Merkins, Stifler’s Mom, and CFH2M. Serious thanks to OTW for breaking up the motif – maybe we can explore a different part of the body this year.

COT where we named FNG Bruce ‘DeVito’ since he is the self-proclaimed shortest of his brothers. Hope to see him out again soon!

Prayers lifted up for Jerry’s family and for the new babies in our region (Brie spoken, Renfield unspoken). Huge praises for 2025 and our region – what a privilege to be a part of this and push to make each other better every day.

Bricks or Blocks?
We had 4, at first, at MDCH and we were wondering if @fruitloop would roll in the break the WH Line but what to our wondering eyes did appear a new Mach E and @greenbow appeared. Looks like @greenbow has a new shoulder, a new whip, and a long extension cord.

I open the back of the truck and there is a pile of blocks and a pile of bricks. The individual PAX chose a block or a pair of bricks. We all got our coupons and into the park we went!

Mosey a bit, do a thang with the block –
Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

It was a lovely morning!

Afterwards, as it is the last day of the year, we piled into our cars and drove to Waffle House for an end of the year coffee. (Yes, I know, 5, but @termpaper was one of the 5 so we pulled up a chair)

See everyone tomorrow at the convergence/new year/birthday party/awards ceremony!

Not really much of a record number at MDCH today. Not nearly enough calories burned to overcome what is scheduled for Thursday. But coffee was consumed and the worlds problems were discussed.

today was my birthday, I’m now 58. so I felt like a 29 and 2 workout was appropriate. run to “the warm up circle” and do 29 merkins. split into 2 groups and run the big loop. when you meet, do 2 burpees. run back. repeat with LBCs, Side Straddle Hops, and squats. transition to “the grand promenade and bear crawl to next bench, then lunge walk to next bench, etc. prisoner run back. then alternate lunge walks with bear crawling between benches. prisoner run back and drop for some quick stretches. sprint across the green and up the hill. prisoner run to basketball court. start on one end, 3 broad jumps and a burpees to cross the court. then 5 bear crawls and a hand release merkins to go back. circle up for Mary and done. Happy birthday to me!
NMS

It was a lite mist kinda day. The stay in place workout group was gearing up under the shelter, and with the bar already set, we refused to come under it.
We went for a run
We found some closed roads due to down power lines
We found some streams across the road
We found some high lake water
We found some hills
We found that we would like to have more endurance.

After the run and a change into a dry shirt, we rewarded ourselves with coffee at the Waffle House.

Prayers for @greenbow as he is having shoulder surgery tomorrow.

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!!!

Cool weather greeted us at MDCH this morning! The Waffle House Line was met but we were a conflicted PAX. Ultimately, we decided the Waffle House will always be there, but a gorgeous morning like today was not. After a quick warmup at the brickyard, we divided into those who walk and those who run. The walkers walked the big loop, the runners ran the big loop, and every time they crossed paths, everyone did incrementing exercises. We closed with stretching and Mary.

Announcements included AMBRR, BRR, and 9/11 stair climb.
MIAGD!

What a great day to Q Mojo Dojo Casa House. 6 HIM completed 100 each of Merkins. Low Slow Flutters, Squats and WWII’s while completing 2+ miles. One HIM showed up for COT. Various topics were covered regarding Tofu, our food system and that nobody really likes Vegan Cheese. We learned that CrowdStrike has released software updates and there has been no disruption of Service. It was really Delta’s problem. We also learned that @Yoga Mat has special powers. He mentioned @Greenbow’s name and he appeared out of nowhere. Really a weird thing. Great fellowship this am. Honored to lead such a fine group of gentlemen.

20 gathered comprised of 2 paternal FNGs and a slew of Kotters! We took our cue from Pierogi’s FWD Q and started by grabbing a couple of rocks from the flag area. We walked the loop from the Greenway through the Lochmere golf course, around the Lochmere Pavilion, and along Loch Lomond stopping several times for Squats/Merkins, then WW2s/Flys. Sprinkle in some presses. Walk back to the flag at 6:01. Asterisk.

We named Noah (Grisham’s dad) on account of his prolific lineage and being ‘from the water’. We named Como (my dad) because his name is Perry and our ancestry is from near the area in Italy, which was a full override of his self-naming attempt and any PAX suggestions.

Praises up for Jim, praises up for this crew. Prayers up for potential FNGs. Hope to see you back here in 2 weeks for 1776!
