SAY IT WITH FLOWERS

Started minute early with some brain teasers … 5 sisters : 1 is cooking 2 is cleaning 3 is playing chess and 4 is doing laundry … what is sister 5 doing? Also, a snowshoe rabbit is being chased by an arctic fox during a snowstorm. How do I know this?
Pledge
Warmup would consist of merkins, flutters,ssh, monkey humpers plank jacks and others mostly in cadence but to confuse and ( not with this crowd!!) elicit mumble about when warm up ends …. Can we quit flap jacking … let’s cook one side…. But not today!! 
mosey to former doctors office and perform 10 big boys nur into lot and 25 hand release merkins, hop the wall and Al Gore for all pax 

mosey to loading dock, partner up one pax  hops up to dock and bear crawl or lunge walk down ramp while other does accumulation of 100 merkins 200 monkey humpers and 300 flutters

mosey over to building beside Dollar Tree ( across from Walgreens) that has an impressive sway in the center …. It been this way for years … I keep hoping to witness its collapse….. let’s help …

should it fall… I advise all to “ run like hell!!”

we tried with monkey humpers, crab thrusters, crab marches, donkey kicks, sumo jumps and even Bobby Hurleys!!! The invisible basketballs were not enough to tear it down!!! Maybe next time

now over to another wall … at the old empty bank for step ups, Mike Tysons ( what a favorite!!), Bulgarian split squats, dips and even a few derkins some in cadence 

lastly we assemble back for 25 Superman merkins and 10 burpees ( two trains that never came through)

a few merkins , flutters,  plank  and lower plank and time

go to truck and pull out large arrangement of flowers and tell all I’ll explain soon …. The puzzles looks made it fun!! 
announcements … many ….plug in whether blood drive or F3 dads …. Or….

prayers for Turtleman, Big Pappy 

previously been given wrong date for flag setup at Turtleman ….. need them Thursday night as next PET scan Friday morning 

for quite some time I’ve had this idea of bringing and distributing flowers to who ever posts at one of my workouts because we men don’t traditionally think often enough of our better half and this will ensure a Great start to your day when they witness you having brought home flowers for them!! My M personally Loved this idea.  Recently Mayor stated that if something seems like a good idea or something others might want to participate in then do it, don’t wait for him or anyone else to sanction it! Carpe Diem, I say. Or as pastor  Dickie Spargo likes to say, “ Dead roses know no roses and do your giving while they ( and/ or you) are still living!”

  
still curious about the brain teasers? Chess is a 2 person activity and the other answer is it was daytime

 

 

 

 

Simple Is Good

Strong group gathered at TRB to get a little better.  5:30, let’s go.

Brief reminder of the mission of F3, no FNGs.  SSH, Imperial Walkers, Grass pickers, roughly 15 IC.  Some additional stretching.

Partner up, for part of Army PT test.  Partner checks form and counts, AMRAP for 2 mins.  Switch.  Do same for sit ups with partner holding feet.  Number for Army is 42 merkins and 52 sit ups.  Head to the track.

Start with 9 burpees, half way around the track and stop for one.  Come back for 8 and 2 on next lap.  Continue until 9 on other side and one at the start.  10 laps and 100 burpees total.

Enough time left for a bear crawl in parking lot and 10 big boys to finish time.  Pledge.

Good push by everyone.  YHC reminded that we do what we do, and make it hard, partially to work our bodies, but primarily because we strive to be better in every area of life every day.  The hard part is the decision.  Once the decision is made the next step is to give it all you can.  Yes it is hard sometimes, but so is life.

Announcements: F3 dads this Saturday at Yank – Q’s needed for Dads July 17 at Gashouse, blood drive today, Men’s conference in Charlotte Saturday, site Q change at TRB June 30, GrowRuck weekend of Aug 6 – option to attend only Grow School

Country Boys in the Big City

Ball Joint EH’d a guy from Mint Hill and, as a show of support, decided to join him for his first workout. We all know doing it by yourself isn’t nearly as fun so 5 of us joined him for a clown car to Mint Hill.

The FNG showed and he survived. Chum had the Q. He had us jumping walls, running through pot holes, and throwing frisbees. Lots 0f Hand Release Merkins and Squats. Ball Joint did a great job pushing the new guy along and a few of us made sure to pick up the six!

During the drive home on 85, some jackass driver in a diesel dually nearly took the right side sheet metal off of the Expedition. Fortunately for all involved, Ball Joint was paying attention and avoided the accident.

Great time this morning! More clown cars coming soon!
