Two corners
All Rolling Stone BackblastsNovember 24th, 2020
9 HIM got together to give thanks for the strength to get out of bed and improve their mental and physical abilities. Calories were burned in the process as we prepared for Thanksgiving gluttony.
Basic disclaimer provided and off we went on our mosey towards HRMS. The predictable comments commenced………….”we should just park at HRMS when you Q”. “What’s wrong with Odell?”. Blah blah blah. Circle up at the first corner we come to.

We will start at this corner of the square rectangular parking lot. We’ll call it Point A. The other 4 corners are B, C, and D as you rotate CCW. Start at A. Mosey to B, side shuffle to C, run backwards to D and then side-shuffle back to starting point at A. You will always be facing towards the houses as you travel. Exercises will be performed at Points A and C. Two exercises are merkins and WWII’s, which we’ll start with 5 reps at C. When you get to A, 10 reps. Travel to C, 15 reps. Keep increasing by 5 at A and C until we get to 30 reps at Point A. Plank up until all are done. “What goes up, must come down!” Let’s do it again, but decreasing the reps by 5 at Points A and C. This finished us up at Point C with about 15 minutes to go.
Since we’re close, let’s go grab a rock and circle up for the following.

Put your rock down and everyone rotate one spot to the right. Ha ha! You thought you would grab and “easy” rock did you? Well, now your brother to the left gets to use it!

Mosey back to Mary, stopping at the greenway entrance for 16IC monkey humpers. Long enough to have one lonely car drive by to witness the shenanigans.

Bunch of beatdown opportunities over Thanksgiving. Check Slack for details.
Sugar is doing a virtual 5-miler on Thanksgiving morning at 0800 if you want to join him at Rolling Stone.
Moleskin:
Had a “good” time with you all this morning. Everyone pushed thru it and were better for it at the end. This was a good training exercise for the APFT that will be here again before we know it. In fact, we may have to do something like this again before the APFT comes around again. Hint hint! This is an obvious week to be thankful for the things we have. Hopefully we are thankful year round and show it when we can. Let’s all make a conscious effort to give thanks to those around us who don’t hear it from us enough. Our mail carrier, a cashier at the grocery store, the girl at the coffee shop drive thru. Give them thanks, because I assure you, most people do not give them respect, let alone a thank you. OR maybe it’s a neighbor, friend or relative who consistently helps you, etc. Spread some of that F3 love this week (and all year!) brothers and I’ll see you in the gloom again soon. I’ll start by saying “THANK YOU!” to each and every one of you for being there on those many early mornings. Just knowing you will be there has motivated me to show up and put the work in with you. Like I heard Sugar say this morning “there’s no way I would come out here and do this on my own.” I always think that too, cause I know I couldn’t do it by myself. So thank you all for being there and pushing me to improve! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Gobble gobble!
