Midoriyama 11/21/23

A rainy, cold evening at Midoriyama. Of course Slaw has the Q. YHC figured one maybe two PAX would post but we had 5 total. Staying under the picnic shelter, we performed the “moist millenium”. YHC knew we would stay moving the whole time and get a good total body workout.

10 rounds of 10 exercises. 10 reps per exercise.

  • Merkins
  • Squats
  • Big Boys
  • Derkins
  • Calf Raises
  • Leg Lifts
  • CDD’s
  • LBC’s (IC)
  • Dips
  • Mountain Climbers (IC)

We got through 9 rounds when time was called. After the COT, the 1t F Q asked “anyone else want to finish that last round?”.  All PAX  returned to the picnic shelter and finished the last round for 1000 reps. Outstanding work, men!

Turkey day Frisbee 2023

I’m going to do my best to account for all that were present. Some signed up and didn’t show, some were late, some showed up even though they didn’t sign up, and some did that but were late.  Herding cats! We had some good games. For the most part people were on their best behaver. Some are still sour. In the end Team Wikileaks won the championship after a double header championship round!

Team Wikileaks:

Wikileaks, Montross, Mabelline, Broke, Slaw, Chubb’s 2.0 I think they decided to name him Gator because when facing off against his dad he ate his butt up!

The Sword 27-Nov-23

Runners today.

1 Cor 13.  How many have heard this and just glossed over?  I have.  I have heard this at every wedding and funeral.  What was broken down for me is Love and Patience. It was good to be humbled by this breakdown.
If you love someone or have patience with someone you:
Don’t snap at people when they frustrate you.
Won’t make critical or rude remarks to others.
Won’t be easily angered.
Assume the best about others.
Don’t respond impatiently in stores or on the road.
Are a patient spouse or parent.
Don’t become frustrated by the passage of time in any given situation.
Don’t expect Christians to be perfect and have patience in their spiritual growth, just as God has with us.
Have patience at all times and in all things.

Announcements:  Convergence 12/2 at The Yank, Christmas Party 12/2 at Lewis Farm at 6:00pm > $10/person, Beer ruck with BOS on 12/9 at 11:30, Beer mile 12/30.

This one’s for the Weaselshaker

15 HIM showed for a beautiful morning of rock pushing with Sargento. Disclaimer was given. Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Fun was had by all. This is what happened…

Warmup of Goofballs and Don Quixotes

We reviewed the mission of F3 – “To plant, grow and serve small group workouts for men, for the invigoration of male community leadership.”

Mosey down to the pit for a round of 11s. We did Derkins on the big road blocks and Big Boys at the other end. It only took about 5 minutes to get some complaining that there was wet grass where the blocks sat. Your tampons could be used to dry that up I guess.

Head toward the track behind the old middle school. It’s gameday, so of course we did the Wolfpack Grinder!

  • 20 Prayer Squats, run 1/2 a lap
  • 20 Merkins & 20 Prayer Squats, run 1/2 lap
  • 20 20 Mountain Climbers & 20 Prayer Squats, run 1/2 lap
  • 20  Merkins & 20 Prayer Squats, run 1/2 lap
  • Intermission of reviewing the 5 Core Principles
  • 20 Monkey Humpers, run 1/2 lap
  • 40 LBCs & 20 Monkey Humpers, run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Plank Jacks & 20 Monkey Humpers, run 1/2 lap
  • 40 LBCs & 20 Monkey Humpers, run 1/2 lap

Mosey down to the covered picnic area for the already requested and Wienke verified Bring Sally Up. It was glorious!

Head back to the Pit for the last leg of the workout, mini Dora 123. Partner up and do 50 Shoulder Taps, 100 Donkey Kicks and 150 Dying Cockroaches. Lunge walk 1/2 way to the wall then run the rest of the way and back.

This took us to time, with a minute to do a headcount of how many years each of the PAX has been an F3 brother. BOS took the record with 12 years! Happy to have an FNG out today, he even works with a PAX from long ago, Anthrax. AYE!!!

Announcements – Convergence next Saturday at The Yank, Christmas Party at Lewis Farm, Beer Ruck Dec 9th @ 11:30, Beer Mile on Dec 30th
