COT:
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

It’s the theme to Cheers. However, it holds true for me. When I’m struggling or just off, it’s always great to know that there’s a place where dudes are there to work with you, check on you, and sometimes be in the same stank you’re going through. You’ll have a good time. You’ll learn from others, they’ll learn from you. And remember, it’s Nationwide. It might not be a great as F3 Knoxville, but I may be biased. Still, it’s good to know that there’s a place to go to, and there are many here in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the Nation. Check out F3nation.com/locations if you don’t believe me.

WARMUP: Lily started us off with some good ol’ stretching exercises that were borderline The Thang, include Curly Stomps, Tempo Squats, and Tempo Merkins! Pele Sweat Level: (PSL) Moderate already…

THE THANG: Lily took us to the new workout area, preliminarily called LA Beach. We did stations there and ran in the parking lot between sets. Switched off to Pusher, who started us moseying before Ol’ Pele was back from the end of the lot. PSL: Severe

Pusher took us up Pickett’s Charge, doing something painful at the bottom of each hill. Can’t remember, since I was beginning to become dehydrated and starting to hallucinate. We did some things with rocks and cones, though, as I recall, and ran around the Colosseum area until it was time to pass it off to….

PELE! Finally! My turn had arrived. Put down an insurrection that was attempting to hijack the Q and have us go up Everest to show it off to Mouth to Mouth, who was DR from GA. Nope. Not enough time to do that (or was there?… we’ll never know…). Did Route 66 (Peter Parkers) to Pav-a-Lon. Then did some PT sets, running around the building and then the parking lot until Time. PSL: Critical flow. Everything soaked. Everything…

MARY: Did some Homer/Marge and Hello dollies mixed in. Stretching until time. PSL: Pruning up from stewing in own sweat.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: UnCOVEred July 13 at the Cove. Fourth of July Asylum PM workout at 9 am, with Board Meeting and Soccer Taco lunch to follow. Come one come all.

COT: Talked about the importance of joy and humor by recounting some funny F3 stories. PSL: Formed a substantial sweat puddle in the prayer from sweat dripping off head. Also was unknowingly giving Snitch a form of Chinese Sweat Torture from sweat dripping on his arm in the circle. :face_holding_back_tears:
