11 Boot Campers camped and 8 Run Bros Ran.

Boot campers were lead to the parking lot behind Ritter off Crescent Green. Amway lead the Pax in warm ups and then had all previous SWW Site Qs lead an exercise. He then turned it over to YHC to lead the ME. We moseyed back to the lot at SWW where we did modified coupon circuits with a long pickle run in between each circuit. Music was on the agenda (play list was epic), however, the speaker had other ideas. Mumble chatter was on point. We ended with plank-holds and chill-cuts for Mary.

Announcements: SCary Family Picnic 4/27, The Highland Games 4/19 and DDD 2/22. Oh and YHC has been recruited to fill the Big shoes of Brie as Co-Site Q of SWW (some equated it to Belichick going to UNC…which could be taken many ways). It’s and honor and privilege to serve as Co-Site Q with Amway.

I’ll leave you with this…F3 gives us an opportunity to encourage one another and build each other up each morning during workouts. Use that to set the stage for the rest of your day. Carry over that encouragement to your family, friends, co-workers and anyone you encounter throughout the day. The world needs more of that.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

MIAGD!!!

10 campers and 3 runners, with some swwingers for coffeeteria.

Started with a quick mosey to the RLC parking lot for a warmup that prompted the discussion of whether it’s Thai Fighters or TIE Fighters, and if Oofda’s earthly or galactic travels could confirm either way. Later at coffeeteria, it was also discussed whether warmups should occur near the flag so late pax can still catch the group but this was vetoed in a region with, to quote, an embarrassment of riches (so you have less of an excuse to be late from having to drive forever to get there).

Thang 1 – partner up for catch me if you can around the lake, 10 merkins when caught. Darker than anticipated, rootier than recalled so we moved on after that.

Thang 2 – partner ab DORA across the bridge on KF. 100 freddies, 200 half sit-ups, 300 penguins.

Thang 3 – greenway run back and finish up the Dora in the parking lot.

COT

– DDD coming up next month; you can consider bingeing on holiday sweets as training for that, right?
– Preview of Snoop Dog’s Easter footwear modeled by Badda, Chipper, and HGTV.
– New Year opportunities and challenges abound; prayers for pax dealing accordingly with them

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, good to see everyone and meet some new pax!

8 runners ran ( i assume the GTL proposed 10 miler); 6 Boot campers faced the cold in definitely not Pearls on a String. We did however do a warmup and some exercises on the way to the Thang. Thang was a YHC favorite Triple Nickel on the Kildaire hill. The definition of Triple Nickel was questioned and I continue to doubt what it is as i type this. Nonetheless, One legged Merkins were done (5 reps for each leg elevated) at the top of the hill, Zombie Crunches (5 reps of oblique focused crunches on each side) at the bottom. YHC planned more but didn’t realize how far it was from the flag to the hill. 3 miles covered and a variety of body parts were exercised over the morning. Good discussion of worthless baseball cards, grapefruits, pears, Belichick, toys that are too big, and virtual holiday partys. Great group; thanks for letting me lead

Today, December 7th, 2024—a date which will live in infamy—the region of Carpex was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the pax of South Cary. All in good fun, though, as we invited them all to the party.

Maynardrenaline was high for this Major 1stF Challenge. When it was all said and done, we had:
– 2 current Nantans
– 2 former Nantans
– 1 shirtless lunatic (I’ll give you one guess)
– 12 Days of Christmas EC
– 100 merkin EC
– 2 six-packs + EC’s completed (Astro and OTW)
– Christmas Elvis appearance
– 6 Maynard first-timers, if I am counting correctly (Astro, OTW, Spade, French Lick, WebMD, Dunk)
– At least 6 Maynard or 10-mile PR’s (The Super, Hallmark, Revere, Saban, Astro, French Lick, if I missed anyone let me know)
– A new F3 Maynard segment leader, and 2nd overall (Revere)
– Over $500 raised so far for the Matthew Larson Foundation for Pediatric Brain Tumors, and I’ll be donating an additional $10 per person for each person who ran today. If anyone else feels led to donate (completely optional), I’ll leave the donation window open until EOD tomorrow. Venmo @AnthonyJJohnson (last four digits 3233)
– Some great words at COT from Phoenix Q Tecumseh about the impact of F3.

I am constantly amazed by this group. Great job everyone, thank you for participating, love you guys and MIAGD.

Twas a brisk morning for a tour of Lochmere golf course. 13 pax navigated the cart paths up to the Beast of Birklands hill. Pushing up a 20% incline was absolutely the climax of our run, and possible our day! Stories were shared, world problems were solved. Was an honor to lead today.

Reminder about world’s greatest Maynard this Saturday.

YHC prayed for any unspoken prayers, and encouraged everybody to read psalm 139. Which reminds us that each one of us was uniquely and wonderfully made by God! Everybody has a purpose!!

Make it a great day fellas!

Big numbers all around and great times as well. 21 set sail on a yacht rock journey through Summerwinds. Felt like the summer breeze was flowing as the pace picked up fast.

Announcements included TCP sawgrass, Joe Smith’s Black Friday workout at SWW and the SCary Christmas Party. Prayers were lifted up for the great mentors in F3 and the great groups we have. As The Doobie Brothers said, it keeps you running! MIAGD!

8 for pearls on a string around (and around) the Regency loop with escalating merkins and squats. 4+ covered. Prayers for Chanticleer’s family and the loss of his aunt. Much to be thankful for this week. Make it a great day, gentlemen.

Some Power Walked, Some Ran and Some did the Bootcamp. Most all did Stifler’s Mom at the end. MIAGD!

14 run broz to get in their 5 miles for the day. Several EC’d in advance of the ME. One only EC’d. It was an honor to be surrounded by such a strong group of run broz…beige, ultra, etc.

We headed down Tryon towards Shepherd’s Watch, turned around just past Franklin Chase to head back and detoured over by the flag location for FWD to get some points. Speaking of points, YHC was dressed as Hermes, as I led the workout wearing a costume.

MFRFSP going on now. Freed to bleed. Thanksgiving convergence at 0630 at Ritter. MIAGD!

16 for Soles to the Poles, an opportunity to demonstrate “male community leadership.”

We swung by the church next to Highway 1 where MacGregor votes, then up to Piney Plains for a Lochmere precinct.

Announcements: MFRFSP is coming up – Super has details. Apex 5K in March (ping Orphan for promo code). Bowling 2ndF on Friday.

Prayers/praises: Our brotherhood is unaffected by political whims.

NMS:
–Always great seeing Orphan, an all-time good guy.
–Badda/Bing run a tight ship, checking in with the Q before and after the workout. After Chops’ epic run at JDI, it’s clear the site is going from strength to strength.
–Apparently there’s a third precinct near SWW that I could have picked up on our way back. Duly noted for next time.
–I was fifth in line to vote. Saw a bunch of neighbors. Heck of a morning.
