52 SSH, nobody’s birthday, just your Q losing track of the count. Rice Krispies to loosen up the neck, then Shoulder Blasters to prepare us for what was to come.

We do recieve a high volume of mail here at F3, and because I am ineligible, unqualified, and/or unfit to hold any position of authority within the organization, they gave me the key to the mailbox. The big names in F3 – the Q Source Source, if you will – only have two directives: 1) be responsive to feedback, and 2) use indecipherable jargon. So that’s what we tried to do today.

Some exercises get requested; others are demanded. The Dark Webb gets neither, but unfortunately it was time to inflict it on the pax today. It’s like Rainbow’s Burpee Box but more monotonous. It’s like Jack Webb but soul crushing. They say comparison is the thief of joy, but actually the Dark Webb is.

There was some controversy as we passed by Skunk Hill on our way to Cardiac Hill. Yes, our correspondents are passionate about sliding down an ankle-twisting, knee-destroying hill, especially when dew and repetition are involved. But your humble scribe is just not man enough to lead us there. As Highlander taught us, there can be only one.

We wrung everything we could out of Cardiac and still made it back in time for some Aw Yeahs (miss you TRC/Crab legs ), the sight of which was deeply disturbing to Cosmo 2 and Hot Tub (John Muller). But hey – the pax gets what the pax writes in and asks for. If you don’t like it, you know where to send your correspondence.

Mark 2, a story about faith, an interesting one in terms of who has it and what kind of faith it is.

Prayers for Cinco and a new work situation.

Appreciate getting to be with you guys today.

Q: Mermaid
PAX: Mermaid, Cat Gut (Mike Davis), Shotgun, Farley, Matlock (Bill Maddox), Hands, Tropicana, Cinco (Scott McGuire), Rainbow, Aquafina, P3, Fabio (Joe Hamilton), Holler, white belt
FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
WARMUP:
What is the best warmup exercise ever? The PAX answered Cherry Pickers, so we did three low and S L O W cherry pickers, followed by SSH, Runner’s stretch, both legs, Up dog & down dog, with some tempo merkins and tempo squats
THE THANG:
Mosey to the pavalon, and remind the PAX that the chose the full Mermaid, and not the lite version.
We proceeded to do 20 lunges, followed by a 30 second wall squat, then subtracted one lunge each round. 19 lunges, 30 seconds, 18 lunges, 30 seconds, all the way down to 1 lunge and a 30 second wall squat.
Following the sweatfest of the above, we went to the picnic tables and did two round of bulgarian split squats, 10 each leg for a total of 20 each leg. We moseyed back to the curb next to the flag and did 20 heel elevated squats. We then divided into two groups. One group stayed at the bottom of the hill and did 5 merkins, while the other group sprinted to the top. At the top, the runners tried to complete 5 merkins before the second group sprinted to the top. We did an up and down hill with merkins, then an up and down hill with squats.
MARY:
We walked back to the flag and finished with going around the circle and the PAX calling a mary exercise, and following each with 10 merkins. We closed out with some simple runner’s stretching and quad stretching.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
10 yr anniversary on the horizon for 11/8
COT:
I want to normalize men being vulnerable. We don’t have to suffer through our problems alone. We can share the trials, and our friends can help us walk through the challenges. I shared a story about a friend whose wife left him almost a year ago, and she also abandoned the kids. He is trying to put his life back together, and it is a real challenge. Pay attention to your friends, be there when you notice a problem, and don’t be afraid to verbalize your problems as many of us may have some wisdom to share so that you don’t repeat the same mistakes we made when we were faced with tough times.

IPC…you later
