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

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.

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.

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.
