2 for the EC and 2 more for the ME on this crisp and clear Tuesday morning.

All the way down to Ritter where we did a 3-6-9 routine of pull-ups, merkins, and squats at the newly installed pull-up bars near the basketball court. 3 total sets with a pickle in between. Back to home-base using the long and scenic route.

Mumble chatter was interesting with ramblings on International Monetary Policy, did Gandhi drinking his own urine (mixed results online), current political climate, etc.

COT – Prayers for @waterwings and his family member who just called off a recent engagement.

MIAGD!!!

McFly arrived in 2024 right on time to find the PAX showing up by the dozens! Before I could start the journey in the future, I had to change into more date appropriate shoes, a jacket, and a shiny hat. After a very quick disclaimer and a very Patriotic pledge, we were off.

Mosey to the diner to start our morning. A standard warmup with a Hoverboard finisher. Next we ran from the diner and picked up an actual hoverboard that some kid left laying around.

Thang 1
Count off in 1’s and 2’s for a game of 4 Corners Chicken. Team one goes one way up and around, team two goes the other. In the middle you cross paths and see who’s the Chicken!
Merkins
Capt Thors
Freddy Mercs
Lunges
Yrkins (Original spelling from 1985)
Repeato x4
During our third round Franklin aka old man Biff found a Grays Sports Almanac and provided valuable stats through the remainder of the workout. #f3bets
After some more commotion we realized that the Kryptonite boys joined the fun.

Thang 2
Off to the Doc’s basement to make sure we use our time wisely and do not mess up anything by being seen by our future self’s.
Diamond merkins
O’s
CDD’s
Toss in a random sprint to hit 88mph and after a few end to end trips we were OUTATIME!

Quick Mary of 99’s (100’s -1) and HAND!

Enjoyed the fun this morning and loved seeing all of the Monday workouts cross paths and mini converge for the day. This region is great because of all of you!

Camping trip this weekend, bowling night soon, Culture week is coming, HGTV still taking donations for WNC in need. MIAGD!

Off to 1885 to stop Mad Dog!

@HGTV and YHC divided and conquered today on this perfectly gloomy October morning.

HG led the stretching workout which earned five star reviews at COT.

It was leg day for my group with five sets of different exercises on the lawn with stairs for the pickle. We ambushed and Monkey Humped the HG crew, then did some sevens, some calf raises 2 sets, lunge walk and sprint x3 sets and a dealers choice Mary.

@Jigglypuff took us out.

Praises to @HGTV and @VHS for their leadership supporting hurricane relief efforts in WNC this coming week.

MIAGD men.

22.5 exercises EMOM. I’m really trying to write a one-liner here. But how can one avoid saying An honor to lead. To those who Q it’s a shared feeling. A privilege to be in the moment with the fellas. We are truly blessed to have this opportunity to be with each other, push ourselves, set aside differences or challenges in our lives and to push ourselves for a moment each time we post. In my few years of posting I’ve come to learn it’s is not just about doing exercises, or some weirdo yelling “slow the hell down”, or feeling like you gotta go faster to keep up. It’s really about being there. Just showing up. participating in the 2nd F chemistry. Finding your own way of doing it but DOING IT. Putting yourself out there, posting at a place that is unfamiliar, stepping up to lead a little, jumping in regardless of how clear-eyed you are in the am. You won’t fail because all these F3 guys around you will be there, in their own way, to get you up and going again. I saw this comment somewhere. Recalling it here:

Do the thing that scares you most. All the best things are on the other side of that fear.

Lots of stuff happening this fall. Keep track on COT channel.

10/19 – SCary Dad’s is HAPPENING this weekend! PAX asking where & when.
11/4 starts SCary Culture week! PAX asking how they can help. Q holding off until closer.
11/8 SCary Bowling night at Buffaloe Lanes, Garner. PAX asking for repost of sign up sheet.

After a quick pledge, we moseyed to the boat ramp for some lakefront warm-ups, always a crowd favorite. Mumble chatter was in full effect, and at times, YHC couldn’t hear his own cadence. More moseying. As we strolled down Lochmere Drive, we noticed that the aptly-placed guardrails are the perfect, ergonomic height for proper-form, lake-view erkins, derkins, and dips, so we of course oblige. Then off to the park for some rock work Dora. Shipyard tried to confuse and delay us with a debate about the ideal terrain on which to do curls, but we quickly recover. Lastly, tennis court suicides and then Mary. Thanks for letting me lead, fellas!

Prayers to those in western NC and Florida. Thanks for the many Scary pax who have contributed time and money to the relief efforts (TYFYL!).

15 went on the pilgrimage to Ben Franklin to celebrate the Mets advance to the NLCS. The last time this happened my wife was six weeks pregnant with our first, I had most of my hair, and I was just getting back into running. All pre-F3.

We circled around the church and warmed up in the courtyard. There was yelling. And stargazing.

We gathered up and did lunge walks and bearcrawls near the mulch, which gave us a perfect view to Grisham coming in hot. Circle back for Grisham and head west on Tryon.

We started the Thang by gifting Ben Franklin a Mets hat in honor of the defeat of his hometown team. The Thang was 7s on the greenway hill with in-cadence merkins at the bottom and squats at the top. At the top, single merkin + three hallelujahs to rub it in just a little bit.

Back to the flag pausing for shoulder taps and finish it up with a modified four corner merkin ladder on the soccer field. H2H, Hammers, and Homer2Marge at the flag. Long Have A Nice Day. That’s it!!

Announcements:
Q School Monday at Jack It Up
Yogi speaks next Friday, and meet his mom
Odyssey next Saturday

NMS:
You gotta ask Grisham about the events that led up to his arrival – HIM stuff!

3 for a 30 minute Dora EC then Jigglypuff headed North. 5 for the main event. String of pearls to a deceptively long and dangerous hill for a triple nickel of CDD, lunges, and irkins. Picked back up the string of pearls and meandered our way back to the flag. Unknown mileage covered, may have finished on time. Sherpa joined for coffeteria. MIAGD

Nice brisk 55° morning, 5 for Jiffy Lube EC, 19 for the ME. Tryon, greenway, Seabrook, Coorsdale, Kildaire, home. Prayers for Kiffin’s dad’s surgery and for safety for Denali’s parents in Florida. The Egg Everything bagel was delightful this morning. Always a great group at JDI, enjoyed it fellas!

9 bootcampers and 5 run club broz at LnL this fine AM. The BC was a take on a Dora to essentially position us to finish along the run course… which almost worked. The thang was a pearls on a string with 10 merkins, 20 squats, and 30 LBCs at every stop.

Prayed for sons and dads and WNC. Most went to . Some will be going to later.

Be there for your family today!
