The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: 50s

FNGs: Tebow (Welcome)

COP:  SSH (IC) x20, Imperial Walkers (IC) x15, TTT (IC) x10

The Thang:

Grabbed blocks and split into 2 teams.  Stack of “cards” from YHC’s Pole of Pain was set in between the groups.  The cards have an exercise on one side and a number of reps on the other.   One pax from each team would walk to the stack and play rock, paper, scissors.  The winner would look at the number or exercise and decide if they wanted to complete the card OR if the other team would do it.  Whichever team didn’t get a card would have to take the next card…  SO, you could pass on the card that has 10 reps of squats, only to get the next card that has 30 curls 4 the girls.  Small numbers are not necessarily good, and large numbers aren’t always bad.

Mary: She was done

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: 60 and extremely moist

FNGs: None

COP:  SSH (IC) x20, Don Quixotes (IC) x15, TTT (IC) x10, Imperial Walkers (IC) x15, LBAC (forward/backwards) OYO

The Thang:

Each Pax picked an exercise.

  • Oops – Curls 4 the Girls
  • Outhouse – Squats with the Block
  • GI Jane – Overhead Press
  • Mr. Feeny – Merkins
  • Brokeback – Tricep Extentions
  • Cornhole – Mountain Climbers
  • Wolverine – CPRs

We went in a circle and led the exercises starting at 11 and working our way down to 1 (actually last two rounds were combined).

Mary: No Time

Numberama: 8

Namerama: GI Jane (R), Mr. Feeny, Brokeback, Cornhole, Outhouse, Oops, Wolverine, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Volunteer for P200, prayers and praise for Outhouse/M

Devo: Friend had posted a quote “Effort is a reflection of the value you place on something.  If you put in the minimum, eventually you will begin to receive the minimum.”  How appropriate it was with this workout that you got to pick your exercise and IC vs On Q.

Moleskin:   Wolverine picked CPRs.  After already doing the Curls, Overhead Presses, and Tricep Extentions, they sucked really bad. He realized quickly that his decision was a bad idea…  Unless someone asks us directions to the beach…

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Mid-60s and quite delightful

FNGs: Teddy Ruxpin (Welcome)

COP:  None.

The Thang:

Discount and Redo showed up with their bikes which is a first for the Hole.  Feeney walked with Brokeback while GI Jane and YHC took the FNG around.  Since the FNG was just getting back into running, we varied pace.  Ran for a mile, recovered for a bit (i.e. fast walking), sprinted from cul-de-sac to cul-de-sac,  Jogged for 2-3 blocks.  Mixed jogging, running and recovery for the remainder of the run between intersections/landmarks, so turned out to be a pretty good spur of the moment Fartlek.

Mary: None

Numberama: 7

Namerama: Mr Feeny, Brokeback, GI Jane (R), Redo, Discount, Teddy Ruxpin (Welcome), Olaf

Announcements: P200 volunteers.

Devo: At the hike meeting

Moleskin: Floppy may have a stricter definition of a fatlek, but speed play was definitely done so YHC is going to count it.  Urkaf is checking off those boxes…

Squats, PRs and Trashing Cookies

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Upper 50s

FNGs: None

COP:  6 Pax at the beginning completed 25 squats

The Thang:

We ran or walked the figure 8.

Mary: 50 Squats – to complete the box for February’s running challenge

Numberama: 8

Namerama: Redo, Discount, Beanie Baby, Prayer Request, Life Alert, Wee Woo, Cheddar, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Men’s Hike and all of the running events

Devo: YHC was talking to Life Alert and he struggled getting 3.5 miles in since he hadn’t been posting.  In many areas of our lives it gets easy to compromise once, and then it turns into a regular situation.  From diet to exercise to what we watch, we have to understand that sometimes we “can’t handle it” and need others to push us and keep us accountable…  and not leaving cookies at Redo’s house after small group.

Moleskin: Wee Woo and Cheddar showed up late and Cheddar had to leave early so we just saw him in passing.  Wee Woo (literally) ran through the BOM with fist-bumps before finishing out another 30 minutes of running.  Also Redo had a PR first mile.  His watch had an a pace of 8-ish, but YHC had closed to a 7:40 pace.  Either way, most of the mile was sub-8 which was awesome.
