Introduction
As no other PAX felt compelled enough to Q at The Ridge on Saturday, YHC decided to fill in and pay my due. Although these are free workouts there is a small price and that’s to Lead Men…are you leading or just consuming?
Warm-O-Rama
The warmup consisted of some SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Goof Balls, Harry Rockettes, and some Air Squats before heading out this glorious morning.
The Thang
As YHC had indicated in the preblast this was going to be ruck and that’s what we did. We hit the hill and then passed through a Whispering Woods Park and eventually ended up at Dunmoor Park. The PAX circled around the flag and performed a few sets of Air Squats and Hand Release Merkins. When it was time, we proceed back to the flags but first made a few trips up and down the hill at The Ridge. A final trip up the hill, the PAX again rallied around the flag to take in the glorious sunrise and then performed several different movements that included Air Squats, Hand Release Merkins, Flutterkicks, Chest Press with feet six inches off the ground, and Leg Lifts. Made a trip back down the hill and then back up where the flag was planted again. There may have been some grunting by the PAX thinking this was supposed to be a more causal ruck. The PAX were asked to get their minds right and then YHC grabbed the flag and we proceed back to the flag area finishing up with some Air Squats until Recover, Recover!
Circle of Trust
Our man Scat read announcements, we welcomed our lone FNG Mike who will forever be known from this day forward in F3 as Lambeau. The message today was a similar message I gave a year ago on my birthday. Today, was the day after, but the message was still the same. Every year we celebrate our birthday, we get one year older. Realize this is just a number, it doesn’t define us. We are as old as we think we are. Granted as we age our bodies start to deteriorate, but no matter if you’re 22, 32, 54, 67. These are just numbers. You can be 57 and feel like your 24, you can be 24 and feel like 57. You get to decide how you want to be, how you want to feel, how you want to live not your number. Finished off the morning with TAPs!
Naked Man Moleskin
If you didn’t get out in the gloom this morning you missed a glorious start to the day. The weather was perfect! So appreciative of the men that decided to show up! Welcome Lambeau to F3 Plainfield! We hope this free gift you decided to take advantage of is life changing just like it has been for so many including YHC. Special thanks to Scat for having our 6 and Hanger for providing the mumblechatter juice this wonderful day!
