Awww yes, spring is in the morning air. Birds were chirping. The sun was rising to reflect off the morning dew in the grass on this fine day before Easter morning. The flatulence and belching from 11 of F3’s finest men echoed out over the Gashouse parking lot as I pulled into the Schiele to Q! (Had to make a pitstop to hide some Easter Eggs first…)
Warmup:
SSH: IC x 20
Cherry Pickers: IC x 10
Flamingos: 20 count each leg (just 2 legs thank you)
Mosey to flag for pledge
The Thang:
- E.C. Running Dora 1,2,3,4:
- 4 Laps around the track
- 300 LBCs
- 200 Merkins
- 100 WWI Sit-Ups
The situp stations gave us opportunities to sharpen one another with some good life/marriage advice. Men may be sitting on their own hands and breaking 60-second egg timers throughout the region. We omaha’ed the last round of core work to just run our 4th lap, EC to dolph for double hurdle work and Def for extra “CDDs” completed!
Time to split into 2 teams for our “main holiday event”….
- EASTER EGG HUNT (on roids):
- Team 1 in one goal, Team 2 on opposite side of the field in the other goal with our Easter Baskets in the goals.
- Teams stay in goal and complete squats/calf raises while 1 teammate sprints across the field to pickup their egg. Once they return, they open it to reveal the workout inside. Team completes the workout together, then next team member sprints to retrieve 2nd egg. Continue until all eggs are in basket. First team done, wins!
Monk got a “rotten egg” on our very first 1 so he had to do 20 burpess on his own then sprint back AGAIN to retrieve a “good egg”. Slaw helped him out while we all laughed. (Not AT you Monk – but WITH you.) 🙂
Not sure how this could have happened, but the other team ended up with 2 rotten eggs. (We’ve hired 2 committees to investigate! One that handled the Oscar Awards mistake and another that found Tom Brady’s jersey. They’re working tirelessly. Really.)
“Foul Play” was called so Team 2 was deemed the WINNERS! They got to run first while the losing team started with burpees and then chased in a lap of:
- Catch Me If You Can
(First partner does 5 burpees while 2nd partner runs backward (NUR) around the track then partner 1 chases them, once caught they switch and repeat.)
- Jail break back to Gas House
COT:
Shared Steve Jobs’ famous analogy of teamwork…
The rock tumbler that takes ugly, dirty, regular old rocks from the backyard then shakes them all together and as these old flawed rocks bump into each other over time they come out polished, shiny, smooth and beautiful. They become so much better because of the friction that they have together with other flawed rocks.
That’s what these brothers of F3 do for me. Aye?
Prayers:
Squirt’s daughter, Monk’s coworker, family that Def Leopard knew who lost their son to suicide, all those battling physical and mental sickness, and praise for the good things we take for granted.
Good work today men. Hope everyone has a blessed Easter with loved ones!
