  • He’s heavy and he’s my F3 Brother – from Triple Shift

    I arrived at the AO early to see Tenderloin getting his extra laps in as I scoped out the football field where all the work would get done today. As The Architect rolls in, he comments that I’m early which I proceed to brush off since I’m the Q. Anyway, 5:30 am comes quickly and I give a very short disclaimer and we’re off around the track for the warmup.

    WARMORAMA
    After one lap, we circle up for low and slow Squats, Imperial Walkers (this is a crowd pleaser with all the pax stumbling to hold elbow to knee for a 3 count), Parker Peters, Shoulder Taps, Peter Parkers, Floyd Mayweathers, and Merkins.

    PARTNER ONE THANG
    Hand Grenada slips in the warm up which gives me an even number of Pax….so partner up with someone who is around your weight. Start on the sideline and Fireman’s carry your partner all the way across to the other sideline. Flapjack the Fireman’s carry to head back. This was pretty difficult given my partner was 20+lbs heavier than me.

    PARTNER TWO THANG
    20 REPS of Nordic Hamstring Curls, No Cheat Patti Cake Merkins, Leg Throws, and WW2 Patti Cake Sit-ups

    PARTNER THREE THANG
    Partner up on the goal line for some Dora. 75 Genuflects, 100 Reverse Plank Walk Kick, and 125 X Factors. The mode of travel is lunge walk 25 yards and then run back to tag your partner.

    BONUS
    Ring of Fire Al Gore/Monkey Humpers and Glute Bridge/ Alabama Wife Pleasers

    COT
    Gave thanks for men of F3 and lifted up prayers to help us be the men we were created to be.

  • Running and stuff – from Charmin

    Same ole same ole. Consistency is key.

  • Before and After – from Charmin

    Before we started today, YHC decided that since we are all doing our own thing, we should make sure that we start at end with the same number of people, specifically that we start and end with the same people (assuming we don’t EH someone along the way). Well today we started with 13 pax. A joke was made that we’d end up with 14 since Triple Shift would be late. After some laughs we all took off.

    KnOTers went their way, Kennan Brah went to his car, and the herd of runners, at Hawg’s request went on a “slow jog”. Towards the end of the run, YHC came back to the track and Lo and beheld Triple Shift and ended up running a lap with him.

    Once we all came back to the CoT, and after a quick count-o-rama heavy jokes were made at Triple Shift’s expense.

    Ended with prayers for family and in thanksgiving for healing.

  • Sua Sponte – from Charmin

    Pax were encouraged to pick their own path, with a reminder that we need to have a count off and disclaimer before and after the workout.

  • Back at it – from Charmin

    After completing the 1st Grow Run and GRE-41 over the weekend, YHC was eager to get back out to the gloom. Thankfully, Hokie reached out to Bolt to HC since YHC needed stretching. Started with mirroring the KnOTters by walking backwards away from them. While they did their own thing, Bolt and Vagabond heard a recounting of the weekend, along with groans from the much needed stretching. Vagabond added his own gassing from time to time.

    Worked our way back to the shovel flag for some COT where YHC asked for prayers as this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of my father’s sudden passing. Glad to be back in the gloom with brothers.

  • KnOTters all around – from Charmin

    In a rare occurrence, there were no runners. YHC was planning on walking around the park, however when all the HIM’s started their backwards trot, YHC decided a day of Knees Over Toes wouldn’t be the worst thing. Tenderloin showed up early and was speeding around the track already at 5:30. That being said, after 45 minutes (or so) we returned to the Shovel Flag and ended in a COT where we prayed for those intentions spoken and unspoken.

  • Just Keep Moving – from Charmin

    Talking with Tenderloin after a 2+ miles run, he said that we all just need to keep moving.

  • Push It to the Limit – from Charmin

    Today was about pushing it to the limit, either with running, KnOTibg, or running back to your house for a stretching pad becuase Boo-boo can’t handle the ground.

    Either way, we all came back (with some additional late comers) for the COT. Prayed in thanksgiving for new life and in supplication for those who need help.

  • Running with Friends. – from Charmin

    KnOTer’s aside, it seemed as if most of the Pax today ran with someone at some point. Goes to show that we all cross each others paths at some point.

    COT involved praying for those who are suffering and going through tribulations.
