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!

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!

IC Light

We moseyed to the end of the koka booth parking lot for some rock squats and then moseyed to the garmin parking lot for some burpees and merkins with a hill in between. Great times this morning.

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

Prayers

Decoy and his coaching career and the HIMs heading out west this weekend to do the R2R

Today marked the 2 year anniversary of my collapse at PB. Forever grateful to Trickle,Hermes and all those folks that were there that morning to save my life. F3 is an incredible group and I would not be here today if it were not for the quick actions of this group. MIAGD

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.

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!!!
