The Rocky Balboa movie clip when Rocky speaks to his son about- ‘no body can hit you as hard as life-it’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how much you can get hit and keep moving forward’. We shared some hard knock stories about pain, loss, recovery, training and finally victory. On a personal note, it was truly a wonderful pleasure being with F3 guys on my birthday. Im blessed by the support and fellowship we have in this united family of early morning warriors. Thank you to all the men who by their encouragement and persistent challenges for me to become better, i am more alive, more alert and prepared for tomorrow.

It was a perfect day for a Rocky themed workout. Overdramatic 70s rock ballads, HG’s fabulous headband and Schnitzel’s Euro infused responses to mumble chatter.
We swung the bells, goose stepped for King David (not Hitler), and Flounder and VHS had a Rocky one-armed merkin contest. HGTV gave yours truly the side-eye during the Rock yo body – we agreed to disagree on counting convention.

The New York Times launched countless apps, articles, and variations of the original “Scientific 7-Minute Workout” with their article covering the research on HICT back in 2013. archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout

So today, we set out to make our morning the best version of itself by adding weights to it — for science.

Ruck to Waverly, hitting as many stairs/steps as possible. Round 1. Ruck the stair loop. Round 2. Back to NYBIII. Selects for Round 3.

Thankful for the mild temps. Doing that two months from now would be nasty work.

9 graciously gave up their morning mileage and sat in a circle and talked – about goals and fears and pride and obstacles. I’m so grateful for it. I have so much respect for each of you. I wish we’d had twice as long together. Let’s look for opportunities to continue these conversations.

Announcements: Picnic Sunday

I’m not sure how to describe this morning’s workout. I guess incredible experience for me to be in His story, to be able to step up, step out and share. You all make it better by being there. Carpex guys, Green Level, Peakcity, Churham….appreciate all you F3 men, wanting to be being part of His story, too. Receive the gifts. Keep your hands tight around it. Don’t loose it and please take all you’ve received today with you to share with others in your own way. Your friends, families this weekend. Keep it alive. We’ll do it again next year.

Welcome FNG 2 Chains !!

See most of you tomorrow HIGHLAND GAMES 2025

Glorious morning at Point Break as 14 of us set off to conquer 11s Stairs and HRM while 2 dudes bro talked. Fairly certain this has never been done in SCary and won’t surprise me if never done again. Took way longer than anticipated and the Thangs held in reserve will be saved for another day.

Announcements – Poker, HG, WH ASS, Picnic

Prayers – Petey, Lisa, Uni’s brother, Quiver’s father, Coco Crisp (Carpex).

Love you guys

10 campers and 4 brOchos hit the waves this morning. I had no elaborate plan but to see how many showed up and wing it. Pledge and we are off.

Mosey for a flying Ray warmup. Stop at BK to stretch it your way. Continue on to Whole Foods for some no fluff added standards. Continue on to the bottom of all hills and man did those baked goods smell delicious OTW!

Grab a coupon and a compadre. Mosey up to the fountains. Partner Dora with a twist. One does the standard merkins/squats/LBCs while the partner carries the coupon up and around the pickle. Everyone hit 3 carries each but counting was questionable.

Return our coupons to the bottom. Mosey to finish the sting ray. Back to the flag for Mary. One PAX’s signature was stolen so he had to think fast. 100’s then HAND!

Major trouble counting at COT. 10 no 12 no 16 no 14. Prizes for the Merkin Champs were handed out. OTW got his Perfect Push-up gift set. Nabs got some epsom salt and recovery cream/gel.

Shirt order still live for the Highland Games, which are 4/19. Sign up for the picnic 4/27. MIAGD!

17 came out on this frigid morning to ride the F3 . A lot of running with a sprinkling of 11s (sumo-squats on one end and a heels to heaven on the other).

Made it back on time for a pretty wild COT.

YHC signing out and headed to The Oakwood 24.

MIAGID!!!

The First Annual Tour de PAXmere in the “North Central” side of Lochmere, within manageable distance of the flag! We dedicated a CORE exercise to each PAX and a Hello Dolly round. 3 miles were covered and fun was had.

Camping trip, The Bull, bowling night, Culture Week all coming up. MIAGD!
