PAX:
Homeland, No Show, Tupperware, Skinner, Slash, Popeye, Firechicken, LMU, Psycho T, Finish Line, Buzzkill, Mayweather, Mountie, Catfish, Private Ryan, Scooter, Hipbone, El Abogado, Mayhem, Spud, Tombstone 

A Legion of Men followed the Q into the unknown this morning. Unknown to them, and even unknown to the Q. Here’s how it went: 

Mosey to the old deck to…

WARM UP 

SSH x20ic

Hillbillies x15ic 

Loose Change x10ic

Arm Circles

Various Leg Stretches 

That sweet cadence sounds great in a parking deck at 0530, just ask all the residents of North and South Union. First time I’ve ever called out Hillbillies without Tombstone saying “I’m offended” like he doesn’t make that joke every time. Extra leg stretches during a warm up are always a bad sign of things to come. And so we shall mosey to the Fifth Third parking lot to get a little hill work and train to be a fifth third faster. 

THANG 

Start at the bottom of the black velvet parking lot hill 

10 merks 

Sprint up the hill 

10 air squats at the top 

Jog over to far corner of 5/3 parking lot 

LBC x10ic

Jog to the bottom of the 5/3 parking lot 

10 uphill WW2’s 

Jog back to bottom of black velvet and Repeato 

Got about 7 rounds in before heading off to scratch that itch on our backs we can’t quite reach. 

Mosey over to the old Sunco which is now a parking lot of gravel and hypodermic needles, on our 6’s for Freddie Mercuries x20ic

Mosey to Coltrane Webb basketball court (definitely closer to OCT than R Brown) for another exfoliating treatment with Deerticks x20ic 

Mosey back to OCT for our last event. After 7 sprints up the black velvet hill we needed some often neglected maintenance on our legs and running form so we did 4 sets of stride runs down and back in the parking lot, each set a little slower than the one before.

Stretch until Mountie couldn’t take it anymore and left. 

COT 

Pray for LMU’s son as they head to California to introduce peanuts into his diet, which is a big hurdle and probably scary. 

Also pray for LMU’s mother and her health 

Pray for No Show as he awaits a final interview to get back into offshore work which he’s missed doing, and pray that when it works out he can still manage us into his schedule as he’s been a great addition to our group and for right in from day 1.

MOLESKIN

I imagine as I type this moleskin this morning, No Show is feeling the sting of hot water running over his chiseled back in the shower. This serves as a great reminder that we do sell F3 t-shirts. Or, if you like the feeling of gravel scraping the skin off your back, we also sell On Point BBQ t-shirts. 

But seriously, thanks to No-Show and other new blood who have been bold enough to join this band of misfits. I could picture us being an intimidating group from the outside looking in, not because of our physical prowess but rather we give the vibes of an established clique on your first day in a maximum security prison. So thanks to the pax that scout out new talent, and thanks to the FNG’s that don’t give up and hop right in with us. You make our lives better, and we will make yours better too. 

Remember that it usually costs you nothing to be kind or help someone. Unlike the beatdown this morning, it’s literally “no skin off your back”. So if you were willing to go through that this morning, take the time to do a good deed in this world today. 

It was one of the most fulfilling coffeeterias of all time this morning, all of us working together to help Tombstone realize it was his name missing from the long list of names. 

Always a pleasure to lead, and an even greater pleasure to follow. Stay hard!
