The Pax Deliver Their Own Beat Down and We Are All Manlier For It!


I thought it was supposed to be Spring???  While in Denver last week, Charlotte was in the 70’s.  I come back to 38 degree weather in the Gloom…what’s up with that.  Hopefully YHC has a good workout planned to keep moving and to keep warm…but I did not.  The band of merry misfits gathered round the light pole anxious to see what the day would bring.  Attention quickly grew to my colorful outfit and I was deemed the human kaleidoscope.  I did try to at least color coordinate my undershirt and shorts…the rest of the outfit…well #showtoknow.  530 comes around quickly so bells over head and lets get the show started.

Disclaimer…there was none…all seasoned Vets.  I took the time to give Outlaw props for organizing the ALS reach out and welcoming C3PO…Great work from all the Pax involved. I also mentioned that I was a touch under the weather, or jet lagged or just lazy so I decided that all the Pax would Q today.

Moleskin:

I was a little nervous at first as 25 after only quick stop and myself were in attendance.  Glad the headlights started rolling in.

Once informed he would be part of the back blast, Outlaw tried to make a break for it…luckily he stayed.

Awful exercises of the day go to Omega…120 calf raises with a bell is awful…especially when one has a bad foot! BS calls galore…who would have thunk it.  Then back lunges with a press in between…not that coordinated.

Good to see Elmers make his way to MMM.  Good to see you again brother…

Metallica and Hat Trick always bringing the goods and keeping order in this court full of jesters.

Although Q school was last weekend, MMM became a mini school today.  T Claps to Quick Stop for improving…true to his name…a little quick with the count…But his LBC cadence was perfect…ISI

Then Gang Green, notorious for OYO exercises busted out two in cadence…Again ISI.

Great work to all the men today for their hard work and being a part of their own beat down…I like it when the Pax are involved…good things happen as you can see.

Again T Claps to Outlaw and all the guys who helped C3PO with his exercises, yard work and house work.  True leaders in F3 and in our community!

Prayers to Frogger and his M as they deal with difficulties.  We are here for you brother!

Thanks to Outlaw for taking us out.

Lastly, for those that did not know…Moses can really sing. Had the pleasure hearing him at Mass yesterday…man of many talents.

As always, it is a pleasure to share the gloom with each and every one of you this morning.  You all motivate me to continue to improve and I am truly humbled to play a small role in F3.  Thanks to Snoopy for the introduction and hopefully you can fix my next foot issue!

Always Be Improving!
