A Crisp Autumn Beatdown
All All MECA BackblastsNovember 20th, 2015
It was YHC’s honor to lead a beatdown of five fine men this crisp Autumn morning. The temperatre said 43 degrees this am and YHC dressed warmly for the drop in temperature. However at exercise two YHC realized it ain’t that cold and off came the sweatshirt. Kind of reminded YHC of a summer day back home in Boston only here the leaves had turned color and have been falling. Good mumble chatter throughout even describing what we all liked about F3. Some of the benefits noted included the price (free), camaraderie and accountability. Shawshank mentioned he liked the fun/humor. Guess if I worked in a jail all day I too would find getting out of bed at 5:00 am and going through the pain of exercise fun and humorous too. Lastly in mid-workout a large man with a booming military-style voice appeared from nowhere and told us we were slacking. It was none other than Major Pain. Apparently the Major was out on a solo jog that included checking on us at Stonebridge. After asking who was in-charge he told us to carry on as he continued with his jog.
