Ground Hogs Day – again…

The BackBlast:

It was another gloom and another Sloppy Q and another morning of recognition for the #mentalBattle @f3battle. This BB will have to suffice for both yesterday and today. After giving me a good hard time for my alarm clock fail yesterday (phone failed to charge and turned into a brick) and for showing up late to The Valley (which had 19 Pax including 2 cotters – GOP! and Smothered and Covered), the HIM of the Bah treated me well as we ran around the Morrison/Colony/Sharon circle. The banter is a F3 sign of love. I know that. You know that. We look out for one another in these gloomy mornings as we get out of bed and get a win first thing in the morning. Without the one-anothers, there’s not as much of a win. So you sad clowns out there get back to the COT. And you guys that are there, get back to headlocking men… Re: “News of F3 Nation: the Long Distance EH” – Read it. And get your colon checked.

The warmup:
– Mosey to the Wyndham Capital Building on Colony
– COP
– SSH X 20 IC
– Squats X 15 IC
Pax banter is strong – “do you have on 2 watches” yes, yes I do. I’m insecure. I need two of everything just in case… ; ) Galaxy Watch on left hand, Garmin on Right. Galaxy = phone for safety and recording nameorama; Garmin = GPS
– Imperial Walkers X 20 IC
– Merkins X 15 IC
One thing I learned this week: Chalet likes to comment on shoes, or at least my shoes. Apparently I’m good at matching. Hey, your not bad if you look good.

The Thang:

– Run around each square at the fountain at each on do the following exercises respectively:
– merkins X 10

Alarm Clock stories were shared. The mumble chatter what as just the right level of goodness. Casbah baby!

– circleup for some Mary
– Freddy’s and some stuff

– Mosey out of lot to to Morrison Blvd to Colony to Fairview
– stop on corner of Fairview and colony for some… yeah you guessed it! Monkey Humpers!!! Crowd pleaser X 20 IC OUCH!

– Mosey down Fairview to Morrison and back to the parking lot where we started
– Mosey to the Three Morrocroft Center parking garage

-Next exercise is the Bearcrawl with 5 merkins on every line – no, not every parking lot, every concrete control joint to the top- Let’s keep going! This is not fun! To the wall – recover

– Mosey back to the Governors Hill Cul-de-sac for some mary
– Six inches
– Flutter
– heals to heaven
– I know we did some LBC’s in there somewhere today
– hold plank.. hold… hold… We stayed there for a while and I gave a speech about picking eachother up and fighting the Mental Battle. Lots of ways to suffer and the mind-body connection creates a downward spiral that turns into a vicious cycle that is often very difficult to get out of. Encourage one another to “set your minds on things above and not on earthly Things. Set your minds on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of the father.” In other words, he is in control. Thank God for that. If I was in control, oh boy… we in trouble.
hold… hold… suffering. it hurts.
