Football at the Gashouse

14 strong with 2 FNG’s for the first Def Leppard Q at the Gashouse. It’s been about a year since I had my first post here at an F3 workout and I have never Q’d the Gashouse so when Stroganoff sent out a request for Q’s I decided to volunteer. This being a Spring Break week I wasn’t expecting a big turnout but was happy with our group. After a wonderful Third F reminder from Hushpuppy about how much Sky Q loves us, it was time to start.

Disclaimer was given, I’m an idiot, Slaw’s an idiot, these are only suggestions, get back in your car, do not get hurt, etc, etc.

SSH IC x 10

Don Quixotes (Tool Time) IC x 10

22 Single Count Merkins for the VETS, thanks Slaw and Oompa!

Mosey to the Flag for the Pledge

Mosey to Grier Track for Quarter Pounder

Run 25 yards to 1st cone, 25 Merkins (single), Nur back. Run 50 yards to next cone, 50 Squats, Nur back. Run 75 yards to next cone, 75 Mountain Climbers, nur back. Run 100 yards to last cone, 100 SSH, Nur back. Word: Reminder to keep pushing through everything.

Mosey across the road to the basketball court behind the Presbyterian church where we found 2 sizes of coupons, Heavy and Heavier. If your shirt sleeve was within an inch of your biceps muscle you were supposed to take the heavier coupon and many did. Curls x 30, On your six for chest presses x 30, Stand for Overhead presses x 30. We did 2 sets of these. Word: Reminder to stay strong. You never know when you will need to be strong for your family. I related about my wife’s recent surgery and me trying to keep her from lifting or overdoing it. Somebody has to be strong for your family and it should be you! Shrink talked about having to be strong right now for his dad. Aye! Great word Shrink!

Mosey to Parkwood parking lot for Hindenberg BLIMPS. We stayed together as a group, run to the middle of the parking lot, 10 Burpees, 20 Lunges, 30 Imperial Walkers, 40 Merkins, 50 Plank Jacks and we skipped the squats for time.

Mosey back to the football field for Football with Frisbee Golf rules. I borrowed this from Freight. We split up and played half the field and had a nice little game. Word: Reminder to have fun!

Mosey back to the Gashouse as the bells were ringing. Word: Reminder from Dredd’s words at our CSAUP on how to connect with guys. Ask, Listen, Remember. This will help you connect with guys and make lasting friendships and keep guys coming back. I have been very fortunate before F3 to have a small group of great friends but in the last year I can say I now have a large group of great friends. As you get older you begin to realize how important these relationships are. The nest empties, good health is harder to keep, difficult situations arise, but its great to have friends to help you “Keep Pushing!” A big thanks to all of F3 Gastonia for the last year. Lots of HIM’s in this group!

Announcements and COT then Coffeeteria at Panera.
