10 made it out to Midoriyama on Thursday, November 28th.  We clocked in on time at 1730.

Warmup: Toy Soldiers, LBCs, Flutter Kicks and a burpee

Mosey across the street to the parking lot.

Deconstructed burpees.

To the turd shack for a wave of Australian Mountain Climbers.  This was not a crowd pleaser.

Back to the parking lot for the Marine 16

Wave of merkins and wave of squats

Slow mosey back to the launching point for Mary and the Pledge.

TIME.

Announcements and prayer requests

BOM: YHC took us out.   Sorry this is incredibly late.

14 Strong men started the warmup in the premier workout spot in Mount Holly. Cool and breezy morning. Let’s get after it!
Warmup
SSH x 15
Right over left x 10
Left over right x 10
Cotton Pickers x 10
MNC’s x 15

Mosey to the Presbyterian Church’s well-lit back parking lot.
Count off to partner up. What’s this? Only 13, we lost one somewhere! Must have been a Sparky (bathroom) situation!
Partner 1 runs back to the parking lot entrance for 10 Merkins and returns while Partner 2 does Flutter Kicks AMRAP, 2 sets each.
Then CDD’s, Plank, Squats, SSH all 2 sets each. I must say the old Merkin form was pretty close to perfect! Ask Sister Act. He’ll tell you! Slaw’s unnamed partner seemed to not be in that big of a hurry and was close to last to finish each time! Red Ribbon, Pillager, Shell Shock and Freon were leading the way on these. Speedy!

Mosey to BB&T wall for Rugby Sprints. Exercise until I say “Sprint” then sprint across parking lot, sprint back across lot then walk back across lot.

Between 5 and 15 reps of theses Exercises were performed:
Mike Tyson’s
Imperial Walkers
Plank Jacks
Toy Soldiers (Slaw was waiting on me to mess these up)
LBFC’s (Sister Act was mad about these, I blame Freight)
Mike Tyson’s again.

Mosey back to the school benches for 80 D’s. I used to always make the joke about this being Ash Pond’s college transcript but Ash Pond has disappeared from F3 and may never be seen again so I changed the joke to be Sister Act’s college transcript to keep the joke alive. Just kidding SA!
20 Dips (single count called by Slaw), 20 Dollies (single count called by Sister Act), 20 Dying cockroaches IC (called by Broke), 20 Derkins (single count called by Tesla).

Word about establishing faith traditions for your family during this holiday season. Lead your family in these. If you don’t really have any holiday faith traditions, start this year.

Back to the shovel flag which was blown down by the breeze. Broke picked it up.
Pledge

Announcements:
Convergence on December 28th at Gashouse at 7:00 am
Christmas Party at Lewis Farms on January 4th, likely RSVP.
Keep pushing on the 40/50 challenge.
Encouraged the guys to bring in some FNG’s to Mt. Hollywood and help Broke out with the Q schedule.

COT. Remembered the prayer requests made. Tiger’s dad. Broke’s M. Tiger took us out.

*NMM I found out Tesla will be Double Respect this week so congratulations to him. There are not very many Double Respects that can make it through an F3 workout or are even willing to try! Pillager shows up without his beard and we thought we had a new guy. He looks very young! Buckeye ran EC this morning then did the warmup then got in the Jeep and left so he may have gotten his extra credit but no backblast credit! I was a little disappointed at the lack of speed during the Rugby Sprints but a little encouragement seemed to help push things along! Thanks for the chance to lead!

12 showed Thursday morning to make room for extra stuffing!! With time expiring and no warm up,  Let’s mosey!!

We leave the parking lot and run 9th st to 8th ave. Up to 10th st. Turn left down Mayflower st. Turn left again at 8th st. Turn right and go down riverside dr. Then left on 1st st. Then left on S Main st. Continue down the steps at the end of the street and continue up 8th, turning left on Center st. Then stopping back at the start. This completes a roughly 2 mile loop.

We stopped at every intersection completing various exercises. All exercises are in cadence, with the PAX helping  call out a few of the exercises  we also sprinted up the steep hill on 1st street.

As we circled up, I told the PAX about the story of Gideon. How he waited to see Christ, as God promised him. When Gideon saw the Christ child, he thanked God for his promise and prayed with great joy. There are many things for us to be thankful for.  Just like Gideon, we have many promises that God is sharing with us everyday.
With the holidays here, I asked the guys to keep each other in their prayers and I asked that we all pay attention to those around us. When engaged in conversation with others, pay attention to them.  Make sure that others know that you care about them and make sure you hear them!

SYITG

 9 showed up for an afternoon workout at Midoriyama. Warmup began with a 1 mile mosey across the road to the paved trail. We stopped several times for some hillbillies and imperial walkers, also doing some down hill sprints and up hill sprints. We continued back to the parking lot by the ball field. We circled up and completed these exercises in cadence.  Continue reading
