Forrest Gump Returns for Pain

The sun rise is getting later these days so it’s looking more and more like the real gloom at Gashouse on Saturday’s.

Several showed for a great 3rd F message from JJ.

Several more showed up and wondered who had the Q as it was not posted earlier in the week.

The mumble chatter varied from mild laughter to disgust when it was revealed that YHC would be leading the workout this morning.  Not sure what that meant.

However, off we went with a quick warm up in cadence:

SSH X 10

Merkins X 10

Imperial Walkers X 10

Pain Lab and regular workout then split up.

Mosey to the flag for the pledge.

The Thang

What now?  Left…right….where to go……let’s head toward Lineberger Park as Forrest Gump had not visited the Gashouse in quite a while.

Group mosey to the Baptist church just up the road for some in cadence work:

Prayer Squats X 20

Merkins X 11

Flutter Kicks X 30

Mountain Climbers X 30

Mosey to second stop at Hillbilly’s BBQ for more in cadence work:

Hillbilly’s X 20

Merkins X 12

Flutter Kicks X 30

Mountain Climbers X 30

Mosey to the Flag Circle at Lineberger Park for some play time with Dora.  Partner up for some set exercises and running up toward the pool and back.  Partner 1 works the exercise until Partner 2 returns from the short run with cumulative reps as follows:

Merkins X 100

Squats X 200

Flutter Kicks X 300

Mosey again to the upper picnic area inside the train track for more in cadence work:

First exercise was cleaning up the picnic area from the excessive mess left by the “Wilson” family.  Nice work and nice call out by Madoff.

Dips X 20

Squats X 20

Derkins X 15

Step Ups X 20

Mosey back to the Flag Circle for some Ring of Fire:  5 Merkins while the PAX planked until all had completed the Merkins.

Almost done.

Mosey back to the Church – Plank for the Six:

Final Forrest Gump tradition as always:  Monkey Humpers X 15  (Dang……legs hurting)

Mosey back to the Schiele to join the pain lab for some Mary:  Freddy Mercury’s plus some LBC’s (thanks goodness for the bells of First Pres)

Nice workout men.

Announcements.  Prayer requests.  Name-o-rama.

I will take this opportunity as I did after the workout to express something F3 has helped me with over the last year and especially in the last few days.  I have experienced the support from F3 through my Father-in-law’s death just over a year ago and again this past week as we took our oldest 2.0 to college about 3 hours away.  For me personally, it was more difficult than I anticipated.  I know I would not have had the same support through these times prior to F3.  I heard from many of you this past week and I thank you.  Even saw Gumby last night in Cramerton during dinner with my family.  We traded some Q stories from yesterday….it was great.

Thanks to all of you for being the HIM’s that you are.  You have made a difference for me.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning.

Until the next one.  Aye!
