Ten HIMs gathered in the frozen tundra of Stonebridge Village for a warming set of BLIMPS.

Burpees
Lunges
Imperial walkers
Plank jacks
Squats

We then had the people’s choice between the chair or balls to the wall, both and neither were enjoyable.
On our way back to the flag we were able to get in a set of dips and irkins. This left just enough time for some Chillcut-ing before we really start having a nice day.

First Q of 2025, and only 15 more to go based on @OTW’s goals for me this year. The moto for today was to finish what you started, so I finished the workout from my last Shepard’s Watch Q that I did with the ABC’s of F3. We only made it through half of my extra large Winkie that day, so my goal today was to make it through the other half. We started with some PT exercises for the warm-up, and then moved into the F3 Fit Games (Thang 2 from my original workout) where you partner up and race other teams by doing a series of exercises at each island across the parking lot. Once that was completed after my expert explanation of how it worked, we then completed the ABC’s of F3 but started at Z and finished on Q. Some questionable exercises were called by the PAX included X Squats and Y Squats, but YHC did not have his phone to verify these so we went with it. We ended with the Quadraphilia which is a real exercise (f3nation.com/post/quadraphilia). Thanks to everyone who has pushed me to Q more. Prayers for OTW with a sick kid, those dealing with the wildfires in California, and French Licks 2.0 who got a concussion. MIAGD!

19 HIM ventured west across Tryon road, warmed up, painted lines, then started some “Long Elevens.” CDD at top of the hill and Fox hole Merkins at the bottom. made it to about 6 by the time we needed to roll back to the flag.

1-year ago today I learned what a HIM was. I appreciate this group. Thank you for continuing to make me better.

Prayers for Giza wife who has fever, Gravel Mouths mom for surgery, and Bubbas friend who recently lost her husband.

Shut-In 10 year anniversary Q at A Team with 26…many of whom had been doing this a long time. Including approx 7 that I think qualify for the rip count.

Workout included 7s, tennis court movements/B2W, rock work and unclear instructions. Congrats to Shut-In, a real HIM of HIMs, on a great 10 year run and tremendous impact in and out of F3!

8 bootcampers and 1 walker on a chilly morning in south South Cary.

Mosey to get warm before warmups by HT. Then a mosey over to Chipotle for the one and only thang.

A new F3 deck of cards was debuted amidst much excitement and fanfare. Pax drew a card in a rotating fashion and led/counted that exercise for the group. High point of the workout was the American Hammers counted by Dumas.

There was a pre-announcement for the Highland Games sometime in the March/April time frame. DDD before that on 2/22.

MIAGD!

Co-Q Credit: Kitty Litter

4 for a non-:turtle: EC down to Kildare and back. An additional 30 gathered for a New Year’s Day Region-Anniversary Site-Launch extravaganza! We had an FNG, so we stumbled through the mission and core principles on the way to a FOLLOW ME around the small pickle to the dock for warmups. The PAX counted off by 1s and 2s and we headed for the rock pile.

Kitty Litter kept the 1s for rock work and Jigglypuff took the 2s for 7s on the hill. We flipflop’d after 10 minutes and repeato’d. Reconvene to put the rocks back and mosey to the flags.

At the flags, Mary consisting of the exercises created by the PAX last year – the M2H, Stingray Merkins, Stifler’s Mom, and CFH2M. Serious thanks to OTW for breaking up the motif – maybe we can explore a different part of the body this year.

COT where we named FNG Bruce ‘DeVito’ since he is the self-proclaimed shortest of his brothers. Hope to see him out again soon!

Prayers lifted up for Jerry’s family and for the new babies in our region (Brie spoken, Renfield unspoken). Huge praises for 2025 and our region – what a privilege to be a part of this and push to make each other better every day.

Wah Wah is blaming “the technology” for not being able to backblast.

Though this may seem geriatric the workout was anything but!

Wah Wah walked out
of the gloom like the u dealer and was ready to snatch souls. The PAX were rightful to afraid
After a pledge to the invisible flag (ABC) store he led us on a 1 mile mosey to warm ups.

We warmed up and then thang 1 was partner pickles with patty cake merkins and LBC’s. 4 laps each of 10 reps.

We then ran back to the Tesla charging station to casually run into some cones for the undertaker’s pain train.

Burpee – merkins – American hammers – LBC’s – squat jumps 1,5,10,15,20.

Great workout. Great mumble chatter. Stay bricked up!

Wah Wah took us out with announcement’s and prayers. PAX agreed on Astro’s aggressive party sign up deadline that is today.

‘Twas a salted caramel enhanced (for some) coffee-12 days of Christmas-pumpkin pickle-white board workout. Of course FrenchLickNick won the best pumpkin award for fastest PAX. A from Thoreau we heard that “It’s not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?” The challenge was to reflect on that as we finish out the year.

Toy Drive Report: LOW STEAM. We need toys. Toys Collected at my last 3 posts = ZERO. Have had a few porch deliveries. Lotsa promises. But we’re near the end. 2 more days to contribute and 3 ways to hand off. Look for….
Kitty LItter at SWW
HG at SW
Both at LNL….or anytime my front porch near LnL if easier (just DM about it).

JDI EC joined JRI EC to a total of 3 EC’ers

Soon after the EC was complete, a shopping elf magically appeared bearing some goodies! Franklin took the ruck, YHC carried the sandbag until Cheap Trick got his hands on it and wouldn’t share.

The PAX headed south on Kildaire to Ritter for a set of 7’s. YHC would like to introduce the newest SCary exercise: RUCK YOUR BODY. The 7’s consisted of Pull ups and Ruck Your Bodies.

Returning via Crescent Green, the Q’s navigation skills were challenge, but the route was flawless!

COT: Shopping continues this week for families still struggling in western NC. Give unopened presents to HGTV or Kitty Litter.
Christmas party to end all Christmas parties at the swankiest venue in Crossroads on Dec 19th
