10 pax arrived excited to get a workout in 40′ weather with a 100% precipitation forecast … not one drop of rain was felt… just drops of sweat. Just in case, YHC had planned a workout in Deckaphelia. YHC has been out of town for a while so he was ready to get back with the Pax and sweat a little. It was funny, each time I arrived back to the 1st floor meeting spot another garment of clothing was sitting there.  Let me explain….

WARM-O-RAMA

Held at the shovel flag in case there were latecomers.

x20 – SSH

x20 – windmills

Warm-o-rama was cut short because YHC was too excited to get to the Thang.. Mosey to parking deck.

THE THANG

Partner up . Due to the darkness on levels 6 and 5,  cones were placed in the stairwell on each level reminding Pax what to do. A seperate cone was placed on each level marking the partner meeting place.

NOTE: On each level, plank up til partner arrives.

Lets start with:

• 10 patty cake merkins then Partner 1 runs up Research stairwell, Partner 2 runs up Main Street stairwell to the top…

On 6^th level – Partners meet and perform 10 burpees

• Each partner runs back down their stairwell to 1st level: partners meet and perform 10 patty cake merkins again then run to next highest level. (Repeat this exercise after completing each level)

On 5^th level – hold partner’s feet while he performs 20 WWIIs (then flip flop) – holding the feet is not necessary but this is a partner workout.

On 4th level –perform 10 partner derkins

On 3rd level – perform 20 chilly jacks

On 2nd level – perform 20 jump squats

REPEATO – see ya on the 6th floor again (it was at this point the stairwells started to suck)

All in all, I believe, 8 to 9 levels were completed… nice Job Pax!

Mosey to MARY

x25 – Brazilians (Gooney’s favorite)

Prayer & Praises

• Praise for a gentlemen (farmer) that has been in hospital for 3 weeks after being trampled by a bull.  He yanked out his own breathing tube and said, “i’m ready to go home..”

COT

• Mary was cut short due to naming an FNG. Welcome FNG Zack Scarborough a.k.a. ‘Scarlet’ (he’s a buckeye fan).
• Great effort by all Pax this morning. The fact that clothing continued to pile up on the first level was a good sign.
• NO KANNON WORKOUT tomorrow due to the Concord Convergence at ‘All Saints Episcopal Church’ at 7am.
• Keep in mind the new AO Launch of ‘The Mineshaft’ at UNCC on 1/6/18.

On a side note: I’d like to say, God Bless F3 for the opportunity it provides for guys, husbands and fathers to have a place we can meet each week to better ourselves and our families. A place where everyone is considered equal and no one has to worry about their shortcomings. A place where long lasting friendly relationships are created that would have never happened before. A place where guys can share life’s experiences (good or bad) to gain wisdom and/or support. A place where leaders are born, both Spiritually and personally, within the Pax and/or at Home.  Keep spreading the word and keep the FNG’s coming…

Good workout Gents,

Amway
