Moleskine:
I've been out of town and missed the memo on the Father's Day water balloon extravaganza (probably would have converged), but don't pity us! While they were having a blast and forging lifelong memories with their children, we were. . .punishing ourselves by hauling rocks and sweating our asses off. Who needs fun anyway?

It looked like it might just be Boar Hog and me, but comin' in hot at 6:58 is Waffle House, followed by Renegade and Hobbes takin' the corner on two wheels and screeching to a Charlie's Angels stop. Brief introductions for Hobbes and Renegade (both Kotters, I think) and then straight into the pain.

Here's what we did (in no particular order):

  • 20 Bobby Hurleys OYO
  • 30 Bear Squats
  • 10 I-Hops (one-legged burpees) in honor of a fallen F3er Moses told us about–he had one leg and ran the Murph on crutches!
  • Crucifix Plank 1 minute

THE THANG

  • Mosey ‘round the field
  • 40 Wall Climbers

Got the origin stories of everyone's nickname (Hobbes has a really weird one, Renegade a strikingly normal one) and finished up with a heartfelt COT. Then it was off to Waterbean for Boar Hog and me, where we met with…nobody. Everyone was at the free coffeteria at the stupid F3 Dad's water balloon festival.

Stay tuned next week for Swing State's slightly dangerous but fun game invention: Scrugby? Jollyball? Hot Potato? It's a workout masquerading as a ball game. You'll love it!
