Perfect temperatures and perfect sample of South Cary HIMS at SWW this morning for F3 Rewatchables: The Matrix 1 – 4 and the many other opportunities.

Matrix 1: 25th anniversary and greatest movies of all time. Long mosey, and then 25 of some of the greatest exercises of all time (SSH, IWs, south Cary stretch, merks, LBCs).

Matrix 2: slightly less great (but still a 13 yr box office leader and a worthy sequel), we did our part for the HCC and climbed Hemlock hill, stopping at every street light to complete some slightly less great exercises (hand release merks, jump squats, and boat canoes).

Matrix 3: terrible and so we did burpees for the remainder of the hill. Then continued on to the Zoom Room in the shopping center of @Water Wings’s arch nemesis. Unimpressed, we ran back down the hill to the flag.

Matrix 4 was forgettable and did not deserve an exercise in my workout. (190M budget; grossed 160M).

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Enjoyed getting some miles in. MIAGD!

Some ran, others also ran.

We did a pyramid of interval workouts, focusing on full effort followed by an 80% recovery.

Great effort today.

Great to be out with you all.

A proper high-tempo, boot camp workout must maintain a standard. Men need guardrails. 3 miles and 100 merkins are requirements to meet said standard and both boxes were checked this frigid morning.

Here’s the rundown:

Two laps around the pickle, warm-up exercise, and 20 merkins.

Run up heartbreak hill in Indian run format (2 up/1 down) – 20 merkins.

Run to the bottom of the Avenue of the Estates with your pinky out and a shoutout to JCole. Grab a partner – 2 up/1 down on the hill – 20 merkins.

Most to the parking lot of the office building across the street. New partner. 2 down/1 up – 20 merkins. @pick-up showed off at this point. #stud

Run to parking deck. New partner. Run to the end and back. 20 merkins. 20 American Hammers.

Indian run to the parking lot across from base camp. 10 burpees. Snake the parking lot with squats at the top of each island in honor of @Squatter joining us. We’ve missed him at Kryptonite!

Run to the entrance of the Chinese lantern festival. It’s finally closed. 20 merkins (120 for those counting). Back to the parking lot for 20 American hammers.

Announcements: Ask Hermes.

Prayer: Nabs dad and praise for @kiffins daughter being baptized.

Honor to spend the morning with you.

Lots going on this morning at SWW. All kinds of EC variants, run club, bootcamp, downrange posters, and an FNG. Congrats to Fruit Loop on that first EC run…as a result of showing up to the workout at the wrong time.

Mission, core principles and disclaimer given. For the ME we moseyed over to Java Jive while the run clubbers cleared out for standard warmups.

Thang 1 was about a mile loop with stops at every left turn off for 10 CDDs and 20 monkey humpers.

Back to Java Jive for a standard Dora with merkins, squats and LBCs…but had to close out all of one before moving on to the next exercise.

Then moseyed back to the flag just in time.

Announcements of all the things on Saturday. Prayers for the marathoners, Israel, Ukraine, and Maine.

Welcome FNG, Tablets!

-Life Alert & Kiffin asked for me to Q back in the summer and I happily obliged. Im a Yes Man, just ask.

-Chipper seems skeptical on Kenny Pickett (I think he also called me Matt Canada once) PAX recognized that the Panthers may be in some trouble. Lots of fantasy talk too.

-Talks of five 3-ways in college.

-PAX were disappointed Macho Man Randy Savage didn’t show up.

-missed some of my SCary favorites this morning: Captain Jack, Full House and Hoppin John mustve fartsacked.

8 gathered on this grey morning after a long holiday weekend. Gator from F3 South Wake joined us this morning for the run. A simple out and back down Kildare to intersection of Maynard. Many of us contemplated turning left or right on Maynard out of habit, but we decided to turn back down Kildare. Glad to be out there with you men today. MIAGD!

Ran a couple new roads off of some old roads this crisp morning. Great fellowship was enjoyed.

18 showed up on this beautiful morning to get moving. A few ran the Highland Games preview, some ran an alternate route and some ran the SCary lifestyles of the rich and famous route. All in all, good times, good conversations and good work. Prayers for the Thompson family and all other unspoken prayers. Great to see everyone today! MIAGD!

100 Swings + 30 Minute EMOM backed by the top pop hits of the 90s and 00s.  By my count, we did 550 moves today.  Not bad.  Less good was the lack of coffee – site Q coordination failure.  Prayers for Andi, Breezy, South Africa, and safe travels for our pal Blue.  Honored to lead such good men today.
