7 HIM  ran a little at the Coconut Horse.  It was a nice cool morning, 2 rucked early for some EC.

lot of chatter about the game, upcoming races, training.

7 of us stayed to discuss Shield Lock, the importance of team integrity and what motivates us to prepare and periodically meet.

Name-o-rama, video went too long due to a technological dispute.  Once I figure out how to reduce the file size enough I’ll post it too.

Thank you for sharing in the discussion fellas, I appreciate the opportunity to learn from each of you!

Running and rucking.  Some late, some early.  Some ran long, some ran short.

Takeaways:  When you see purple haze running in his all yellow and a headlight, he looks like a minion.  Pockets put some miles in at a quick speed and blamed the refs for the Duke L (haha – he knows what I mean).  Seuss is a paid professional athlete as he’s sponsored to run.  In my haste to use the bathroom after COT, I tried to give Broke $42 dollars to cover my cup.

Announcements:  Community Foundation Run (SFN) 4/9/22, Freight and only Freights Cleanup after workout 4/16/22, Family night at Honey Hunters 4/24, SMR, Jump off Rock half.

Prayers:  Broke, Purple Haze, Huckleberry, Big Pappy, Turtleman

Appreciate the chance to lead.

YHC passed the site Q onto Radar the previous week, but failed to have any future Qs lined up, so, feeling a bit guilty about that, Radar’s first Q was all set.

We started off with a little warm-up with 5 rounds of 5 SSHs and a burpee. A bit of stretching using the patented right over left technique and the Pax was ready to go… wait!! Who’s that moseying in from the parking lot, obviously late? No, not Tesla, it was CPAP. Imperial walkers to kill time, and we took off, slowly, since YHC can’t see the holes in the parking lot.

In a nod to the previous week’s Route 66, Route 666 was called. Same 11 utility poles (mostly), same merkins (of course), but now throw in the Jack Webb air presses (1 merkin to 4 air presses). Finishing at the American Legion, time for the pledge.

Mosey down the hill for some 11s with LBCs and monkey humpers, and there is not enough time to head to the old middle school for some Dora, so Davis park we went for the standard dip/derkin/step up routine at the benches. Three rounds with 5 burpees for the train and some squats for good measure and time to head back to the flag.

Five minuets of pax called Mary with 15 seconds of burpees and it was time.

Announcements: tomorrow is the convergence at The Yank, all other AOs will be closed. Reach out to someone today and bring them to The Yank. Also, BOS is again collecting worn, but in good condition, shoes for the men’s shelter and Soles for Kids. Bring them Saturday, or schedule a pickup with BOS. Also Saturday at 9am is Keep Belmont Beautiful. Check in Slack for the upcoming Baseball outing and Checkers (Metro Pax). Next Saturday is the Community Foundation Run, remember F3 Foundation, and the following Saturday is the F3 Adopt a Highway gig at Gashouse. Whew, that’s a lot going on!

Please remember in your prayers the kids heading to the prom, Tesla and his family, Max Foster (Tesla friend), Huckleberry, Big Pappy’s son, and Turtle Man.

It was an honor to lead -Orangeman

3 HIM gathered to run together this morning. Two were already out doing some EC. Seems everybody wanted to sleep in today. This is what happened…

We left the Pub heading north on Gaston Day School Road in search of some miles. All three of us said we felt worn down. There was a hill in front of us, we conquered it. We took a left, a right, and another left where Buckeye admired the pretty black-light motif at the substation as we ran by. We turned right at the bank, kept going down the hill and turned right onto Gaston Day School Road or whatever it’s called right there.

WIND hit us upside the head! It was like we were running in place. We kept going. More WIND! See Bob Seger song “Running Against the Wind.” The song sucks but does capture our experience. Up the hill, down, back up, down and left into the Pub. We made it, barely.

Announcements: Convergence Saturday, Community Foundation run April 9, Adopt A Highway cleanup April 16 from Gashouse, 2nd F lunch THURSDAY April 21, Honey Hunters April 24

Prayer requests: Turtleman, Broke’s leg, Huckleberry, Tiger’s family, SA’s daughter, Teachers, Living Hope church plant (YHC’s church)

Thank you men for the opportunity to lead.

Always Be EHing!!!

We kept it simple today at Diablo Sammich.

Many times I have tried to find the end of the development behind Pelican’s.   Many times I have failed and when we reached a cul de sac, we did merkins to make up for it.

Wattsup and HIPAA once took me there and that distance plus a grueling pace made for a great workout

Last night, I swallowed my pride and looked it up online.  To get to the very very very very end, you just follow Plantation Rd/St all the way to the end.

That’s exactly what we did.  And it worked.  I was tired all day too!
