11 Showed for Gastone’s first Q at Midoriyama. The forecast and Freight were calling for a cooler day but if that is cooler than I am really not going to come out of the gloom that often.

The Thang:

35 SSH

Plank, Raise one arm then the other, then 6 inches until Freight joins us. He took his time.

Jack Webb up to 7 and then back down.

Run around baseball fields to the soccer fields in the tall grass.

Stop along the way at a 15 yard hill for 10 to the top backwards. (We got 2 young guys to join us that made it around the field and when we started the backwards stuff one of them got a phone call from his mother and they had to leave)

Mosey to soccer field.

Partner up for some wheelbarrow all the way across the field.

Next was the 11’s near the dog park. Conveniently a sidewalk between the soccer fields and then on the other side of the fields was a good hill. We started with 1 Partner Hand Slap Merkin then each partner ran in opposite direction to the top of a hill for 10 Get Up’s. We switched sides to run after each set up Partner Hand Slaps. Now this sucked far worse than I would have expected and I will explain. One hill had shade and the other put us closer to the sun. One field was dry and the other field was a swamp that had just been watered. I personally was only done with the second set and realized how much of a suck this was going to be for everyone. Many times during this workout I felt overheated, dizzy, and a close to vomit feeling in my throat. Pizza Man at the end joined several other groups for extra credit, Kudos on that. Slaw had it all under control. Tooltime is a beast and stayed near the front. Freight the Natan, had a serious look on his face and stayed in the front the entire time as well. The rest of us got it done and survived.

The Moleskin:

Midoriyama, one of the only pm workouts in F3 is alive with HIMS. When I look around F3 Gastonia I find that I have friends, some of them new and some I have know for a while.  The surprising thing is that most of even the new friends are like we have know each other for years. I don’t even have the words to express how much I appreciate everyone. F3 Gastonia is a special group of guys and we will grow and should be really proud every day of what has been made with sacrifices from all of you.

Everyone did a great job or the best we could do.

Prayer request for many of our brother’s out here, family, and friends. Let’s pray for all of them.

Always and honor and thanks for the opportunity, That was Fun!

Gastone Out!
