Hills, Heroes, and…wait, what?

Somehow, some way 14 PAX made their way for a #REDFriday beatdown at the hands of YHC and 10 of said idiots doubled down for #HillsAreAlive. Four PAX chewed up the hills early and three went out and back with two of those three jumping in at the tail end of the hills. If you are confused by that discourse, well, welcome to the club! To the best of YHC’s recollection, here is (kinda) what went down.

So, Fight Gone Bad x 2 wasn’t enough so 10 knuckleheads went over to the fountain for some hill work. Posh, Polly and Dixie Chick posted for the second edition, but thanks to Uncle Jesse’s #LIFO decided to go out and back since the #REDFRiday PAX were behind. Major #TClaps to Flossy and Kobayashi for achieving LiteBrite status by doing the unweighted FGB with Uncle Jesse.

Hill Work

  • Mosey to Pascal’s wait for the six
  • Up and Down the Cambridge Bowl for 25 minutes
  • Mosey back to the fountain
  • This basically sucked after the FGB workouts, but Flossy was unfazed and led the PAX at both places. #Motivation

CoT

Count-O-Rama

  • #REDFriday – 14
  • #HillsAreAlive – 10
  • #HillsAre(Kinda)Alive – 3

Name-O-Rama

Prayer Requests

  • Judge Hairy had a seizure and took a little trip to the ER on Thanksgiving afternoon. He says he just needs his meds straightened out.
  • Gunnells family loss f son and parents in car crash

NakedMan Moleskin

  • So much happened, but fatigue is making much of it difficult to remember. Kinda like a really good frat party.
  • We had our first death at #REDFriday. Apparently, the death occurred inside Kobayashi and he felt obliged to share it with everyone. #Yikes
  • Apparently, there was a small detour at the end of the run. Judge Judy claims he needed to get a final .3 mile to make 4 miles even. Uh-huh.
  • Roundup asked the line of folks what in the world they were doing. Their response? What in the world are YOU doing?
  • The extra sleep paid off for Uncle Jesse. He paced the PAX during both the weighted and unweighted Fight Gone Bad workouts.
  • Meatloaf noted that the workout may have been devised for BJ Penn right before Penn got his tail whipped.
  • Twitter confusion abounded just hours before the workouts were set to go down Friday morning. While it was a melee of tweets and changes to the plan, the PAX – and YHC’s M – generally agreed that blaming YHC is more fun than the truth. Even Mayhem, who posted for the early version of the hills, blamed YHC and he doesn’t even live in Greenwood. #WhippingBoy
  • Howard basically had no food, but the PAX managed to follow up Thanksgiving with another face-stuffing extravaganza. Another in the long line of audibles for this Friday.
  • Uncle Jesse noted the perplexing dichotomy of Black Friday vs. RED Friday. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm
  • YHC stole his 2.0’s sidewalk chalk for #REDFriday. Went with a full basket. Left with half a basket. #WheresWaldo
  • Top Gun is a great movie. #RandomThought
  • The hills were definitely alive. If you listened closely, you could hear the crooning voice of show choir ace and Greenwood Nan’tan Flossy von Trapp encouraging the PAX to keep pushing. #ManOfManyTalents
  • By YHC’s count, 21 PAX found a way to #GetBetter today.
  • FACT: The only way to #BeBetter is to #GetBetter. There are no shortcuts or easy days. The only easy day was yesterday. Your brothers need you so post somewhere and be a better man today than you were yesterday. If you think some little workout group can’t help you be a better man, well, you’re right. But the fellowship – the glue – of F3 will help you be a better man. It’s what we do. The real friendships – not the flimsy, every day, garden variety ones, but REAL friendships – are what make us better. F3 friendships can endure just about anything. Most of us just aren’t used to them yet. If you come out for a workout, then when it gets cold, or rainy, or you’re just a little tired then you will you will fall away. But if you come seeking accountability for your workout and your life, then prepare to blossom into the leader God intended you to be. This message brought to you by Juggernaut and Flossy. #KingsOfTheBoM

Aye!
