Folsom Legacy

There is nothing better than a early morning workout in the fall and where better than Dallas, N.C. at Folsom! 13 strong ready to roll. There had been a tweet about us older gentlemen having a taste for Werthers Original candy and I just happened to have some so I handed the candy to the guilty, tall, former site Q tweeter. You know who you are! No Slaw. No Sister Act. Let’s go!

Warmup: SSH x 15 IC, Cotton Pickers x 15 IC, Right over Left leg Stretch x 10 then Left over Right x 10, Hillbillies x 15 IC, MNC’s x 15 IC.

Mosey up the hill and stop at the fork in the road for 20 LBFC’s appropriately called by Freight since he loves them so. Mumblechatter starts in full force. Mosey up to the flag for 20 American Hammers. Pledge. Mosey back to the fork for 20 more LBFC’s. Mosey to the tennis courts.

The Thang: I borrowed this from Manziel in F3 Suncoast called “3 Way”. Mumblechatter continues. This was made for a field but the tennis courts work just fine starting at one end, go past the 3rd court for the Center and then to the last court for the 2nd line. You also had to repeat the Center and 1st line exercises on your way back while using the announced method of transportation between lines. All 10 reps IC. Mumblechatter continues. After each Set, I decided to read a quote from various people about legacy. This was the excellent Q Source topic last week.

Set 1) 1st Goal line: Merkins, Center: CDD’s, 2nd: Lunges, Transportation: Duck Walk (Where is Roadie when we need him?) Several Pax were disinterested in duck walking. You know who you are.
“Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” Taylor Swift

Set 2) 1st line: Flutters, Center: Mountain Climbers, 2nd: Monkey Humpers, Trans: Toy Soldiers
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” Francis Chan

Set 3) 1st line: Freddie Mercuries, Center: Parker Peters, 2nd: Plank Jacks, Trans: Butt Kicks
“Outlive your life.” Max Lucado

Set 4) 1st line: American Hammers, Center: Shoulder Taps, 2nd: Big Boys, Trans: Nur (Some unnamed Pax questioned my American Hammer form and he may have been right.)
“Please think about your legacy because you are writing it every day.” Gary Vaynerchuk

Set 5) 1st line: Box Cutters, Center: LBC’s, 2nd: Burpees, Trans: High Knees
“Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” Shannon Adler

Set 6) 1st Goal line: Imperial Walkers, Center: Overhead Claps, 2nd: MNC, Trans: Carioca
“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things, but rather a legacy of character and faith.” Billy Graham

This was where I made time for Huckleberry to put us through some wall work but I don’t see him so we ran a while down to the lower shelter around the small pond and back to the start to get in just over 2 miles for the day with Dr. Seuss picking up the six.

Announcements: Convergence on Saturday, October 19th at the Yank at 7:00 am with Broke speaking for a few minutes after the workout. Every F3 man should be there for this if at all possible. It is the chance to connect with many of the great Pax in the F3 Gastonia region.
Christmas Town 5K Saturday, November 30th at 6:00 p.m. This is a Speed for Need event and we would like a big group.

COT: Broke’s Sister in Law, Stogies dad, Bedpan has a few interviews this week. Freight took us out in prayer.

Thanks for the chance to lead today!
