14 posted on a muggy South Cary morning as YHC took the Q and pursued the Ghost flag. The weather was less than ideal but the banter was fantastic, and the PAX of South Cary showed up and showed out.

warm up: short lap around the parking lot before the typical side effect warm up: Sir fazio and reverse Sir fazio, seal claps, overhead claps, and behind the back claps. Clap heavy as always, as the Pax can’t help but applaud a Side Effect Q.

The thang: 1 and only thang needed, YHC Qd a beatdown that was as almost as hard as the previous year has been for me.

“Crazy Dora”- Flag lot as the pickle, partner 1 runs while partner 2 works.
100 dive bombers,
200 burpees (you read that right)
300 Jump squats.

few finished it all (shout out to Silver fox and Badda)

Mary: Ms love Abs so we did a Pax called Mary circle with LBC, WW2, low slow flutter, and Superman.

announcements – golf sign up(we missed it)
Odyssey
South Cary camping

prayers/praises: Honeycombs daughter, health/wellbeing of others mentioned as well.

I can’t think of a better way to culminate 1 year in F3 than with a few hundred burpees/dissected burpees. Thankful for the Pax to meet me in the gloom for these crazy ideas.

see you soon SC

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!

4 for nine miles, 1 for 5 miles. MIAGD!

The post 202422 Q’d by Dowry appeared first on F3 South Cary.

Today we had a discussion about the first of F3’s 4 Quadrants of Preparedness:

1.) Get Right
2.) Live Right
3.) Lead Right
4.) Leave Right

We opened with a saying well known in recovery circles that is, “you can’t give what you don’t got.”

Unfortunately/candidly, YHC has always leaned on the vast collective knowledge of F3 ENC. But now planting and rooting again in F3 SCary
it is painfully obvious (at least to YHC)
that it is now YHC’s turn to get right myself, as YHC may be the only copy of Q Source that some PAX will ever read.

Today, PAX I inspire to emulate shared experiences of being asked/tasked to give in areas where the preparedness was less the adequate, much less optimal.

It was agreed that life is about learning, growing, showing up, and acting “as if” (if you will)

I believe the essence of getting right is also one of my favorite definitions of humility…,

“accepting who we are and where we’re at, RIGHT NOW, followed by a sincere desire to become what we can become.”

Kudos to the men who were willing to delve in to these things, because it’s not a fun topic but rather a spiritual workout.

And this particular workout, is meant to go to “failure.” But true edification or”building up” often requires breaking down.

Thank you @astro for the opportunity to lead this morning and to do hard things.

Love you guys MIAGD

was the theme today.

We had a list of 10 solid kettlebell moves and we listened to ‘Ten’ the album straight through.

When was the last time you actually listened to an album, no skips, and in order as the artist intended? Bet it’s been a while.

Pearl Jam’s ‘Ten’ is high up on YHC’s faves of all time list, so homage was paid.

We did start with some stretches as promised. Thanks to my cousin who is a sports PT and has enlightened me to how important — and how bad — my hip flexibility, strength, and alignment is.

Excercises straight through. Pickle. Repeato.

– Swings
– Hunter Squat Left / Right
– Pullover Press
– RDL Left / Right
– Rows Left / Right
– Goblet Squat Thrusters
– Clean to Press Left / Right
– Elevated Lunge Left / Right
– Woodchop Left / Right
– Swings

Solid morning.

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
