Conditions- 35°, so tights or no tights…? Went with no tights.
BenGay was the first to show up this morning. He said the night before that he was bringing an FNG, but I noticed he was alone in his car. Maybe he’s coming on his own. Bengay sent him a text at 4:30 with no reply. It appears the fartsack won that battle. This FNG must be a pretty brave guy to show up for a group that named his buddy BenGay. We were getting down to the wire at about 5:12, and we are the only ones there. A lot can happen in 3 minutes though. As everyone else is showing up, Blu hops out, and we are dressed just alike. I’ve always said since I started F3 that I want to be like Baby Blu when I grow up. He broke out the AO flag, and it was time to get warmed up.
Warm up- 25 SSH IC, 20 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Windmills, 10 Cut the Grass. Had to remind Uncle Jesse that we were not at Fury (where there ain’t no time for no stinkin warmup)

Announcements- Feed Greenwood 5K Nov 10th. Saturday workout at Fury with Uncle Jesse on Q.
Prayer Requests/Praise Reports- BenGay’s friend in remission from second bout with breast cancer.
BOM- YHC prayed us out
NMM- YHC always loves a good Terrapin beatdown. If you have never attended Terrapin, get off your 6 and do it! It has everything and then some to deliver as tough a beatdown as you could ask for. Baby Blu is your honorary AOQ and knows how to use the Terrapin to break the fittest of PAX. And he performed in classic BLU style this morning, which is faster and stronger than PAX half his age. Beano, BenGay, and UJ were straight up killing it this morning. Beano was going so fast that I believe Uncle Jesse gassed him in efforts to slow him down. You can’t use that technique on a dude named Beano. It didn’t seem to phase him. 2C and Encinoman were quietly putting in the reps. Not much mumblechatter from them this morning. I may have told Encinoman there probably wouldn’t be any running. Needless to say he wasn’t thrilled with the run up to the bridge after his 7.5 miler yesterday. I tried a few new things this morning to keep it interesting. The high knee burpees were definitely a 6 kicker. Be prepared to see those again. The seated knee raises were no joke either. The first 5-10 don’t seem that bad at all, but boy do those legs start to get heavy. I hope I pushed you guys like you pushed me this morning. Impressive work out there men!
