In the middle of Easter weekend, 14 PAX showed for the Saturday show. YHC had a workout packed full and was sure not to disappoint. There were two FNG’s with us today, so the disclaimer was given and then we said our Pledge of Allegiance.

A strenuous warm-up of 20 Morrocan Night Clubs was completed and then we were off.

We moseyed toward the train tracks only to be cut off by a train! 5 burpees were called for per usual. Of course this was a long train, so to pass the time we did 10 Don Quixotes then 10 Goof Balls for the waiting motorists. I’m sure they loved the performance!

Mosey up Main Street to the first stop our holy tour, the Lutheran Church. Here the PAX were introduced to the now famous suicide routine called King of Hearts (Jesus is the king of our hearts, get it?). Using the row of parking spaces, everyone would go the the end and back doing the following: Karaoke Left, Karaoke Right, Skips and a Regular Sprint. In actuality, they weren’t suicides we did, but who cares?

Mosey from there to our second stop on the tour, Holy Angels campus. We found a nice covered picnic area off to the side for our next session. Partner up and do Hail Mary’s, partner 1 holds plank position, partner 2 places feet on the back of 1 and does 25 dips. Next, we did a session of 6 Minutes of Mary (she was the mother of Jesus you know), a continuous running clock where the PAX called the ab only exercises. Can’t remember who said what (Tiny Tank tried to call burpees, Queso and Feta wanted some other unauthorized stuff too) but I know we did American Hammers, Flutter Kicks, LBCs, Crunchy Frogs, V-Up Sit Ups and finished holding plank until time ran out.

Mosey again to the point where we did a brief round of Prayer Squats, then continued on all the way to First Baptist. It’s a shame that the Mayor avoided this AO today, I had him in mind when I put this weinke together. Thinking back, during one of Edison’s Q’s, Mayor and I got passed in this section of town by a guy who had to have been at least 75 years old but still passed us like we were standing still during his morning run. He even went so far as to compliment us on our good efforts doing “the 5F”, good times! We kept on til we reached First Baptist Church. There, the have a sidewalk, a slightly inclined grassy area and another sidewalk at the top. We did a session of Jacob’s Ladder (from Jacob’s dream in the Bible). Run to the top and do 1 Merican, back down and do 10 Hallelujah squats at the bottom. Add another burpee each time at the top until you hit 7. I’m not sure how 7 was arrived at, that’s just what the exercise list on the F3 website says.

Mosey to the back parking lot of First Presbyterian Church. Here we did a made up bunch of stuff with somewhat holy names. 25 more Hail Mary’s, 20 Prayer Squats, Supermans (because Jesus was the superest of men ever) to failure. We ran a timer for the supermans and the undisputed winner was Top Hat. Beast mode!. Finally we did 20 more Hallelujah squats.

Mosey back to the park for the wrap up. We still had a couple of minutes left so since Top Hat won the superman competition, he suggested we run the stairs until time was up. Awesome!

Announcements: Mud Run May 20th

Prayer Requests: T Square and family, Dr. Feelgood’s mother

Moleskin: My idea was to get some running in if only because I’ve always avoided it for everyone’s sake and most guys don’t like it. We covered almost 2.5 miles today. The PAX did a great job of hanging together and encouraging those who were a little slower to arrive at each destination. That’s F3!

By stopping at the area churches, I also wanted to shine a little light on why most of us celebrate this Sunday the way we do. Jesus loves us and made the ultimate sacrifice for us!

He is Risen indeed!

It was an honor to lead as always men!
