11/25/2024 – The Octagon
Location: Westside HS Career Center
PAX: 9 – Ice T, Vandelay, Tin Cup, Slow Pitch, Snidely, Vanilla Ice, Tassels, Barstool.
QIC: Invictus
Weather – 22 deg and windy.
0500 – Pre Run – solo around the track. Wind was brutal going North.
0530 – QIC kicked off the morning with the description of F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith.
Five Core Principles – Free, Open to ALL Men, Always Outside, Lead in a rotating fashion, and Ends in a Circle of Trust.
Credo – Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.
The Mission of F3 is to Plant, Grow, and Serve small workouts groups for the reinvigoration of male community leadership.
There were no FNG’s present, nonetheless, QIC noted he was not a fitness professional so the PAX should modify the workout as needed.
WOR – West parking lot.
15 SSH
15 Mountain Climbers
15 Groiners
15 Redbull Smurph Jacks
Thang 1 – West Parking Lot
3 Man Grinder with AMRAP Shoulder Taps and Sumo Squats.
Thang 2 – West Parking Lot.
15’s with Jump Squats and Merkins. Ice T humbly but sternly remind me my jump squats looked more like Bobby Hurleys. YHC quickly adjusted. A few PAX also helped pick up the 6 so we all finished together.
Post Thang – Hill East Side of Track.
Groups of 3 from Thang 1. 1 PAX bear crawled up hill and ran down. Other 2 PAX did Burpees until they got back. We went through about 4 rounds of this.
MARY
4 rounds of core including two circles around of American Hammers. Various PAX were chosen to lead.
COT – My Circle of Thanks #4 entailed me and my wife being thankful for our faith in Jesus. He is who we try to model our lives after (as imperfect as we are) and he is the example we plan to raise our future family around. If you look at the Strava route from this morning, the configuration of Things 1 and 2 look like a cross. My COT’s from November were designed to increase in importance as I progressed through the month, so it was obvious this one would be the last.
Prayer – YHC
Aye! – Invictus Coffee at Scooters.
