Return to Cruel Hall

AO: cruelhall
Q: ccr
PAX: Pedialyte, EZ-Go, Donkey Hammer, Works for a Guy, ccr, Fortran, Young and Restless, Mistah Mistah, Topanga
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: I perfect fall morning with a very light sprinkle on the drive in

WARMUP: As predicted by Donkey Hammer, we started slow. Some SSH, leg stretches, arm circles and a quick yoga flow….all set to the legendary Careless Whisper.

THE THANG: An oldie, but a goodie. We performed three full rounds of ULTAS. Four sets of each exercise…Upper Body, Lower Body, Total Body, Abs and Sprints. Ended with the ever efficient 30 seconds of flutter kicks before time was up.

MOLESKINE: awesome being back out with you gentlemen after a summer hiatus. Appreciate Donkey Hammer dragging me out. Playlist theme was live shows the family went to this summer with one exception…. careless whisper…because George Michael is dead. Pedialyte wins the award for not knowing a single song on the playlist! I will post the playlist for those that requested and want to gain some street cred

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year Anniversary convergence tomorrow am at Stonewall (Sevier Park). 6-7am. Come out and celebrate a decade of greatness.

COT: We prayed for the pets in Springfield, OH and for open-mindedness and respect during the upcoming sprint toward the election. Whatever way you lean, get out there and vote!!

Cheers,
CCR

COT:
Thank you for rolling out the red carpet for me the last several weeks that I have been with y’all!! I have enjoyed every AO, every workout, every conversation and every playlist…well there was actually only one that wasn’t my cup of tea but I digress!! F3Nash has everything a pac could ever ask for woth a perfect mix of beat down, camaraderie and banter mixed in to make it spicy! I leave you with this thought “WHO ELSE NEEDS THIS”. Our mission is to grow and the “why behind grow” is the fact that there are men all around us who need this and don’t even know it!! You have something special and my challenge to on you is to keep looking for those who need what F3Nash has to offer!! :heart_hands: Cal Worthington
