Ladder down as time allows
I think some PAX were motivated to surpass the bar set by Movin On Up when I led this first iteration on my 55th birthday on May 31st. I think he and a few others Works for a Guy Deep State EZ-Go and maybe more got through about 3 rungs back down the ladder before time was called. Strong work to all!

Store coupons (at least those that we didn’t crush to powder on our bare hands!

Mosey to wall for a short minute of Balls to the Wall

Final 2 minutes spent introducing folks at detention to the fun that is Guantanamo. Clearly a PAX favorite from all the mumblechatter as we made a full circuit.

MOLESKINE:
YHC would encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the cliff/spark note about last week’s State of the Nation broadcast, or watch the full recording (even on fast speed if you’d like!)

F3 is a leadership organization, and we need to keep that at the front of our minds as continue to encourage, support and push each other. It’s not just about sweating together on the gloom, but it is about striving to become better HIM for each other, our families and community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Free F3 Brentwood half marathon on 11/9. Hit up Ponzi for details

COT:
Thanks to Deep State for the kind invitation to join y’all, and thanks for welcoming me! I look forward to coming back again soon.

Stay strong and keep singing

Part 1
The pax went for a nice long mosey searching for a flat parking lot.

After a mosey back the startdex, we rinsed and repeated the previous thing, but this time each Pax shared something they were looking forward too. With the addition of Black Lung we racked up an additional 64 Eight Count Bodybuilders leading to a total of 124.

CONDITIONS: Muggy. Almost underwater.

THE THANG: Decision Fatigue

1. Ran about 1 mile. Good clip.
2. Bottom of big hilly sidewalk at west end of parking lot. Count off 1s and 2s. 1 and 2 is a team. Team comes up with a stationary exercise for the bottom of the hill, a travel up the hill exercise, a stationary top of hill exercise, and a travel down (very steep!) exercise. No repeats.
3. Teams chose a mixture of lunge walks, merkins, squats, dry docks, flutters, imperial walkers, crawl bear, bernies, etc.
4. Ran about 1 mile back in Indigenous People run formation.
5. Mary – choose your own adventure abs by the Pax.

MOLESKINE: The goal today was for me to make as few decisions as possible as this is my busy work time and I’m in brain overload. As moneyshot noted, the only material thing I picked was the crappy Festival Bangers playlist on Apple Music.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check -f3-nashville-general Toothless report.

COT: Prayers were lifted up. We reflected on Focker’s great Bible Verse decision of Micah 6:8. We listened to the sound of no cicadas.
