Fouteen hardy souls stepped into the circuit breaker gloom together on Monday morning, sweating through 3.5 miles of combined cardio and strength training with full hearts while listening to the wafting sounds of the B-52s. A good time was had by all.

Goblet Squats

Standing Chest Press

Curls

Triceps

Man Makers (again)

COT/Moleskin:

Reflected on our 12th anniversary beatdown over the weekend—lots of planning and pulling together to make a great obstacle cousrse event and convergance.

One of our FNGs James and Levy Huckabee received their F3 name (James, who is Levy’s Dad), where we settled on @Eastside in a post workout chat in honor of James’s work with troubled teens in middle school—in remembrance of another educator Joe Clarke, of Eastside High school featured in the film “Lean on Me.” Welcome @Eastside, Who recently moved here from Connecticut.

Gents, you continue to amaze me and help me to get better, thank you. Uncle Floyd
