Yogi was the Q and led the charge with 52 Card Pickup! Each PAX pulled a card in rotating fashion. Diamonds resulted in diamond merkins, clubs required squats, hearts were burpees and spades were WWII’s. Within each suit ace = 15 reps, kings = 13 reps, queen = 12 reps, jack = 11, 10 = 10, 9 =9 and so on. Let’s not forget the Joker = 10 of any choice exercise. The deck was split in half with one stack uphill and the other down hill with an 80 yard hustle in between. All PAX pulled cards.

Many thanks to HGTV for organizing Honor Week!

At the end of the workout Yogi offered words of wisdom encouraging all not to hold it in and to lean on your brothers in arms, church family and others during hard times.

Announcements:
Kiffin let us know that Tuesday at Just Dough It they will be running F3 Tokens to Henry’s House. Henry is 9 years old and just beat stage 4 cancer!

Kitty Litter let us know that Monday at 88MPH we will begin The Murph and run down to Ritter do some stuff and run back to Waverly Place.

Prayers:

What’s Up Scary!

A very pleasant morning it was over in the land of up lighted $2M+ houses, pineapples and doggy treat vending machines (WTF).

21 gathered for the ME and I was thrilled with the group of men who decided to join me at JIU this am. A solid group of guys I wish I saw more often (gotta get over to Scary more often).

Started with a 1 mike pre run with Amway, Astro, Chipper, Kitty Litter and Home Grown. EHarmony was out on a ruck.

Pledge.

Standard Warm Up.

Mosey to the Big House Neighborhood for Mr T. We found some hills along with our inside voice (even Yogi and me) and worked the T along with a POS.

We all (we almost all) did 5 burpees every time the words What’s Up were said. I think we did about 40 extras.

Back to the park for a flawless Motivator.

Wrapped up with a set of 140s. Joe Smiff was confused. I really miss both Joe’s and JP’s voices. Smooth.

COT.
21 Pax.

Praises for a young Hank (middle schooler friend of Fleder family) who just wrapped up Chemo for his cancer. There was a big celly. God is good.

Prayers for Yogi who is working through some family and personal challenges. Keep your head up, Yogi!

Closed with a Prayer for Friends.

HGTV asked me to share some wisdom. For me, its be yourself and be thankful for the great stuff we have with our F3 Community. It’s the best.

Later

Some Ran, Others also Ran.

2 loops – 3 stations. Started as partners, ended as a group. Some gave all, some didn’t. Shoulders are tight.

Great to be out with you all.

It was beautiful morning at Lake Lochmere. We had runners, ruckers and boot campers. Yogi gladly took the Q. We moseyed down to the lake and in a rotating fashion Yogi cranked out Thang 1: merkins, dips, burpees, carolina dry docks, WWII’s, LBC’s mixed in with sprints midway down on the red rail and back. Thang 2: we worked at grass dam and moseyed down the path behind the dam and around the disc golf course. We hustled back to the flag and finished with some Mary.

Announcements: See Slack.

Prayers: Yogi has been going through extreme difficulty. Without further elaboration, our brother needs ALL our prayers and support.

MIAGD!

Wow! What a beautiful morning! TY to God and to the PAX for a great adventure over to the Birkhaven Hill. For some, it was the first time up the beast of that hill, but the beast was conquered, twice! Along the way there and back, we did mostly ab / core exercises with various PAX leading. Strong work, brothers!
COT: See you tonight for volleyball and bonfire and Bourbon. 7 pm. See 2nd F channel.
Prayers/Praises – Yogi’s daughter, college kids, keep leadership going.
TY for the opportunity. God bless!

9 Bootcampers and 6 Accelerators were out this morning. After Pledge we moseyed onto greenway for a partial neighborhood tour. We made 1st stop at cul-de-sac for warmups and then were back on the greenway to make our way over to the Thang: Triple Nickel w/ Merkins on the hill where YHC grew up. We then moseyed our way back to the flag with some Pearls on a String along the way just in time to squeeze a few extra Merkins in.

The PAX felt inspired to call several audibles along the way which YHC obliged. Fruit Loop gave his seal of approval of the tour. Great fellowship this morning fellas.

Announcements: South Cary Picnic tomorrow, Last push for April Leadership Challenge!

Prayers and praises sent.

MIAGD!

Started a few seconds late then moseyed to the Harris teeter for the main thang. Time to start getting ready for the Murph so partner Dora with pull ups, merkins, and squats. From there lots of moseying with random exercises and a 4 corners thrown in. Bubba particularly enjoyed the running and skipping. MIAGD

Ten PAX gathered in the gloom of Stonebridge Village for an uplifting boot camp. We warmed up and floated over to Mill Pond dentistry an blew up a blimp in front of it while the proprietor was off wearing a BiB down the street.
The thang was a modified pain train starting at 5 reps and working our way down to 1
Burpees
Lunges
Imperial walkers
Merkins
Plank jacks
Squats

Headed back to the flag to find a very concerned Amway who worried about a potential asterisk, but we were on time for a Chillcut and COT.
Lots coming up this weekend and next.
Prayers for all
Enjoy your Thursday!

These 8 HIMs weren’t scared of a little rain, and good thing because it turned out to be a beautiful morning.

3 for the EC.
For the ME, moseyed around the sheep loop and executed warmups in the usual spot. Headed to the shelter for non-standard DORA consisting of 100 derkins, 200 step-ups (L+R=1), 300 dips. OTW was highly skeptical of my L/R counting, seeking clarification numerous times.

For thang 2 we grabbed a rock and traveled the sheep loop with periodic exercises, working our way up to rock yo body.

Great way to start the week.
MIAGD!
