On this International Jazz Day, you never know what note someone could play next.

CONDITIONS:

Plenty damp but the rain thankfully cleared out.

Mosey to the field for a 3/4 lap and then circle up in the middle to get plankpril out of the way with a 4:00 plank to some delightful Italian jazz courtesy of Piero Umiliani.

MOLESKINE:

What started off relatively tame quickly escalated into an unpredictable sensory experience that, before we knew it, reached its end rather abruptly. But that’s jazz sometimes!

Welcome to FNG David Gilpin nka Pipe Dream, a nod to his unrealized potential as an organist. If this is news to you, I invoked Q rule 17.3 during coffeeteria. IYKYK

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Pencil Pusher needs some help moving next Saturday, May 11. See Fish’s message above for details

COT:

– Continued prayers for Pep’s next project.
– Prayer for Go Fish selection
– Prayer for Full Monty as he steps into a new chapter in his career

I felt honored to see so many given the rainy morning, and it was a pleasure to lead each of y’all. Keep showing up!

Still jazzed,
PA

Passing of the Flag

AO: handsomizer
Q: Natural Ice , Freakonomics
PAX: Detective Pikachu, Grayson Adkins, Salami, Black Lung, Down Range from Atlanta – Can anyone share his name to get properly tagged?
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: Soggy

WARMUP: An OG warm up SSH, LBAC, MERKINS, SQUATS

THE THANG:

Thing 1 – YHC Natural Ice led the PAX through the rain to the top of the parking garage – instead of the planned burpee-stairway-a-clock-alypse we pivoted to the ramp-running-burpee-apocalypse. Pax performed a burpees apocalypse descending from 10 at each level of the garage. Once we hit the bottom we ran back to the top where the Q was handed off

Thing 2 – Freakonomics took the pack back down the garage, and each each level we performed a variety of exercises including, merkins (decline and incline), squats, lunges, and bear crawls!

Merry – A very long planril low plank, and a dealers choice ended in burpees

ANNOUNCEMENTS: A big warm welcome to Freakonomics stepping up as the new AOQ for Handsomizer! He has always brought a very energetic and positive attitude to the AO and I am excited to watch him continue to grow our handsome location!

COT: Prayers for Black Lung and his 2.0’s safety this weekend during their white water canoe trip. We also as lifted prayer for his family as they navigate a new job for his M and the changes to their schedule.

The world has laid waste to your city. Every day is a fight for basic survival.

Every gas station has been sacked. Homes sit empty. Store fronts shattered. A new world awaits in the great beyond.
DORA

Natural Ice Lead the PAX on a mosey around the lawn while I got the Computer setup

THE THANG:
A continuation from Monday at Westeros, we enlisted the godfather of F3 Tony Horton to lead us in a Plyometrics (Jump Training) Workout.

The word of the day was: SOFT LANDINGS PAM!!!

Here is a link to the workout if your so inclined to do it again: ia601900.us.archive.org/15/items/img-2024/IMG_1986.mp4

Moseyed back to Startex for a 10 burpee buy out and 5 mins of Mary

MOLESKINE:

Natural Ice had a good word about how working out is better with friends. P90X has it’s place, but doing it alone is a challenge. He challenged all of us to find those Sad Clowns in our life and bring them out to F3. Good word brother.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Manly Mile tomorrow at Green Machine for those tough enough
UFC 300 watch party 4/13 in Hendersonville. Check 2ndf for all the details

COT:

Prayers for the families of the Covenant School as today marks the 1 yr anniversary.

Thanks as always the honor to lead. Tony will make a guest appearance again, but not for a while.

FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
So, YHC turned 54 last week (What? I don’t look that old? Oh, stop with all the complements, you . . . ), so time once again for a Birthday Q. Today’s theme, blatantly stolen from a Hi-Viz Q a few years back, was #1 songs from my birthdays of days past.

CONDITIONS: 50s, light breeze – perfect for everyone except Focker who stated at coffeeteria how much he loves the mid-summer, 90s and high humidity workout. And he was serious . . .

PLAYLIST:
1970 (True Day of Birth #1) – Bridge Over Troubled Water – Simon & Garfunkel [NOTE: not the best workout song, bit of a downer, but that’s my true birthday #1]
1978 (8th Bday) Night Fever – Bee Gees
1980 (10th Bday) Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Queen
1983 (13th Bday) Billie Jean – Michael Jackson
1984 (14th Bday) Jump – Van Halen
1988 (18th Bday) Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley
1993 (23rd Bday) The Sign – Ace of Base
1997 (27th Bday) Wannabe – The Spice Girls
2003 (33rd Bday) In da Club – 50 Cent
2012 (42nd Bday) We are Young – fun.
2013 (43rd Bday) Happy – Pharrell Williams
2019 (49th Bday) Sucker – Jonas Brothers

WARMUP:
54 SSH as per Vector Bday tradition
LBAC x 12
Seal Claps x 12
Overhead Press x 12
RLBAC x 12
WMH x 10 OHO
Good Mornings x 10 OHO

THE THANG:
#1: Mosey to playground – 54s
5 exercises x 4 sets with Rec Center run in between each set.
50 Squats
40 Incline merkins
30 Big boy sit ups
20 Lunges
10 Pull ups
(Kudos to Black Lung for ensuring correct forms were followed)

#2: 54 sprint – 5 burpees, run up hill, 4 burpees

#3: DIDs: 18 each of Dips, Incline merkins, Decline merkins (18 x 3 = 54 . . . ’cause math!)

Mary with flutter kicks, boxcutters and some god awful exercise from Focker called Seal Crunches . . . form was definitely varied across the circle on those

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Thanks for Black Lung’s M with a new job
– bluemule beer event – check Slack (like literally EVERY single channel)
– Murder Mile next week at Green Machine

COT: Moment to take in the day and then thanks to the HIM who continue to push me and make me feel much younger than 54. I did appreciate hearing that many were gassed by the workout, with the highest praise coming from t-cell: “This is a workout that Vector would complain about if he wasn’t Q.” Well said, my friend. Well said. SYITG, Vector

MOLESKINE:
YHC was pleased with the grumblechatter this AM – proved that the workout plan was sufficiently challenging. Could not place the man behind me that would shout out in a chipper voice “thank you, sir” for every exercise announced, had to be someone like Go Fish. The Q-drenaline helped push me this AM for sure, great work to the rest of the PAX who pushed themselves to get better.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– The Murder Mile CSAUP is next Thursday 3/28! Same time same place, extended workout time to accommodate the special event

– YHC shared praise for the 2nd trimester allowing the wife’s nausea to improve
– Haggis shared gratitude for the F3 community after returning from a trip abroad where strong community is not as easily found

It was an absolute honor to lead this AM, men! You put in the work and you’re better for it! Thankful to be along for the journey, and I hope to see many of you out at the CSAUP next week now that you’re ready!!
