It was a beautiful morning in SCary and 24 strong posted to take advantage! The clock struck 6:30 and a disclaimer was stumbled through. The pledge was pledged and we left the parking lot on a slow warm-up mosey. Some went right, most went left down to the tennis courts for some flying warmups.

Half ran the pickle, half AMRAP’d the called exercise.
SSH
Mountain Climbers
Plank Jacks

Depart the tennis courts and over to the first round-about. This is where I called Dora’s pet mouse, “Speedy Gonzales”.
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 squats
While your partner sprints the round-about.

Then we did an 8+2 up the hill to the flag. 8 steps bear crawl, 2 merkins, wash, rinse, repeat to the flag.

At the flag repeat the “Speedy Gonzales” on the larger round-about
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 LBC’s
Afterwards, reverse it.

Drop down for SCary stretch and afterwards, slow mosey to the bottom of the parking lot.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot to the flag, recover mosey around the round-about and back down the hill.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot half the distance and then circle up for popcorn Merry. We finished up with an @amway honoring set of 20 Merkins.
PERFECT!

– Perhaps the weather is such to put away the oodie till next season
– Shoutout to @amway for putting on a spectacular F3 challenge – the bar has now been set pretty high
– Thank you for all who posted this morning! While yes, I do enjoy the energy of a smaller group, you just can’t beat the energy of a large group on occasion.
– As discussed in COT we have an amazing culture in SCARY! We each contribute to that culture one way or another and we shouldn’t take it for granted.
– I am honored to count each of you in my circle of friends!

A Q that’s been building for 9 months and like a long pregnancy the wait is over and a beautiful baby boy has arrived at 88 for a morning bootcamp with the HIM of SCary.

We did some motivators to warm-up along with some stretching for the cold temps.

The men then split up for some stairs and laps to include merkins, squats, LBCs, Ierkins, dips, and ALRSU, all for the March Madness Bros of course.

We got back together for a lap and then did some bear crawling, lunging, and partner merkins.

We hit another lap and got some Mary in.

By my count the workout had 120 merkins, not to include what a few guys called during Mary (do add accordingly).

It was an honor to be with you men today, even you, Big Red.

6 met at Panera for some discussion about anger or frustration towards God and is it ok, how do we handle it if it happens. Following a write up from I Am Second about the topic. It’s ok to talk to God about the ups and the downs the important part is, if you are a believer, you should be talking to him. The final takeaway was trust. Regardless of what you feel or say to him, TRUST in him. MIAGD!

7 took to the Doughcho (and crushed it) and 11 for the main event. The route was a lengthened version of my Q from last week at JRI. Very nice, flat route for the first 3.5 and then not so much for the following mile. Was a pleasure to run alongside you HIMs. Great to have Oofda back from his latest world travels and Trickle back to nearing full strength.

Announcements are plentiful in our great region. Praises and prayers for Hermes’ forthcoming mission trip with his 2.0. Prayers for all of us to make an impact on those around us. MIAGD.

A bunch of SCary-ites and 2.0s plus many outside our region came together for the premier family friendly donut eating race in our fine state. Grateful for the turnout, the volunteers and the pax who makes this all possible – Bagels. Special thanks to Shut In for planning the route and providing thorough instructions. Congrats to our 2025 winners Zero Drop and Daniel Boone. Special props to Web MD’s M who unofficially became the first female full qualifying finisher. We truly did make this a great day. If I forgot any SCary pax say the word.

12 HIMs and a half (pup) happily showed their commitment to fitness today. Took the rain or shine and hot or cold principles seriously.

We were quick to get started, pledge then mosey.

Pulled out the “water proof” deck of cards.

= beach body, 10 count of Mary any heart drawn.
= HIMs best friend, the burpee. Face value 2 to 13.
= merkins, face value 2-13
= get low in the club, jump squats, face value 2-13.

The twist! Any time an Ace is drawn perform the motivator. First ace is 5 reps, second is 10 and so on.

The workout, PAX draws card performs exercise, pickle, rinse and repeat.

Good news for these HIMs that all 4 aces were drawn. Bad news, a lot of diamonds were pulled. However for the 3rd ace drawn, we allowed a 5 burpee opportunity to draw again. We must of wanted it. The redraw was the 4th ace. Three rounds of motivator performed. Excellent job gents!!!

Fantastic day in the gloom. Warm coffee and a new need to learn more about Francois’ high-school soccer coach.

Prayers for the HIMs health, that we can stay strong and keep keeping on!

Duck donuts dash should be on your two week look ahead.

MIAGD!!
