Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and nodoing partner work. This was a variation from another wienke I had for St. Patrick’s Day, that allows everyone to go at their own pace and choose their own destiny.. It started as a Chadwick Boseman themed work out, but that was tricky, so we broadened it to the Avengers. Glad to see good numbers at my favorite BC AO. Welcome, FNG Baby Fat.

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

Conditions: Muggy, but not too hot.

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x25 IC; TTT x10 IC; Mountain Climbers x15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward x12 IC); SSH x25 IC; Mosey around a loop starting at the flag, going past the water fountain and bathrooms, down the sidewalk beside the AO, and then back into the park.

The Thang:
-Partnered up based on age (two youngest were partners, and pair up next two guys in age, all the way to the oldest).
-Did a modified Dora…one partner runs the loop that we ran during the warmup, the other partner does an exercise called by the Q…but we don’t count reps…we just do that exercise until I switch to a new one.
-Exercises were merkins, squats, flutter kicks…each round lasting about 6-8 minutes.
-After the flutter kicks, we circled back up and did SSH x25 IC.
-Partnered up based on birth date.
-Did another set of modified Dora w/ new partners…exercises were burpees, squat jumps, and LBCs.

Mary: Held plank for about a minute…that’s all we had time for.

Announcements: Saturday workouts are the closest thing we have to a convergence right now…so a good turnout is great to see.

Devo: Gave the Bedrock mantra.

Moleskin: I saw that this Q was open, and I had never Q’d outside Bedrock, so I decided to give it a shot. The AO was a bit chaotic, with FiA having their Olympics and construction blocking off the horseshoe area, but luckily I was able to find a good loop to run to make the modified Dora work. A good mix of guys from different AOs showed up, and hopefully they got their money’s worth.

Devo: Bedrock mantra. Don’t be a dick

Moleskin: As we were arriving this morning 2 guys walked up and began introducing themselves. One guy (Smuckers) was a true FNG. His brother in law (Amnesia) brought him out. He informed us he hadnt been out in a year or so. At beginning of workout we went around the circle saying our F3 names so everyone knows who they are working out with. Amnesia revealed he didn’t remember his name that was given when he first came out. We decided as a team that renaming was in order. And Amnesia was born. Smuckers got his name because he said due to covid he had been out of work and all he does now is sit around the house and make his kids Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. These guys are front of the pack guys. Hopefully they come back quickly. Welcome gents!

Mumble chatter was high this morning. It always is when you get Fish N Chips in the mix.

A curfew, a bike and The Shocker

The curfew imposed by Town of Summerville meant a 0615 start for the Shocker, the monthly 45 minutes of hell we endure at the downtown garage. The late start meant that several men who otherwise would have been there couldn’t make it, which sucks. YHC had to heavily modify due to the surgically mended paw. I brought the bike trainer and set up at the top (even though technically I’m still not supposed to ride – don’t tell). I started with 30 merkins and LBCs, then rode for five minutes. I repeated that for the duration. The rest executed a standard short-course Shocker. One benefit of starting later: the sunrise was amazing.

Conditions: Upper 60s, clear. Awesome sunrise.

Not the sunrise we witnessed this morning.

The Thang

Circuits up and down the garage, and out Short Central Ave., cut over to Central, and back to the garage. Starting with 25 merkins and 25 LBCs, and decreasing by one each at three different stops per circuit. Once you get to 1 and 1, start heading back up. Rough estimate of .3 miles or so running/stairs per circuit.

Devotion: YHC had some inspired moments when tending to a sickly tomato plant in his garden. When realizing it was on the verge of dying he decided to repot it into a larger container and remove it from the full sun and bring it to the patio where there is partial shade during the day. Over the course of 2 weeks the plant has now grown over a ft. and has begun to bear 17 plum size or larger tomatoes. As this chain of events began to unfold YHC was reminded that we too need others around us to prop us up and revive us in times of troubles. Let’s remember to build up those around us rather than tear them down. We are called to be an example in our community and in our households.

Epesians 4:12-16: to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Proverbs 27:17-19: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored. As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

Moleskin: This morning was HOT!!! I can’t say that the workout alone had the PAX sweating buckets, but at one point during Indian runs FNC decided it worthy to deviate the path instructions given so the PAX all paid with 10 Burpees. That’s right, Dad pulled the proverbial car over and dished out some discipline. Mumble chatter was fun and the discussion took some turns when YHC introduced Jack Webbs (Del Webbs…maybe???). Thank you men for the opportunity to lead!
