New Year, New You

Event Date

Jan 02, 2018


Five of MIL's heartiest and bravest souls made it out on an early Tuesday for the first workout of 2018 against the backdrop of a car dashboard temperature reading of just 11 degrees.  Fahrenheit.  They were gathered to celebrate the Up With People telemarketing promotion of a New Year, New You.  Here is the deal-i-o.

Warm-o-Rama

Front skip, backwards skip, Karaoke x 2, SSH, TS, frickin’ cherry pickers, Mercans

The Thang

In order to best stay warm, keep Pax moving with a moseying tour around the Quarry with stops along the way.

  • Q really did not think anybody would show up

  • Temps did not allow for the usual dose of chit chat or lolly-gagging to delay the start of the work out

  • There is a new written rule in the F3 cannon of rules that will continue to be unwritten: no workout if temps are in the single digits

  • You have to concentrate really hard to execute a “backwards skip”

  • Grip wore pants for the first time since his college P.E. class

  • While seemingly at odds with principles and tenets of eating season, Dry January has begun for the Q. We are 30 hours in and no need for him to call his sponsor…yet.  Friday is expected to be challenging.

  • Around the world lunges = poetry in motion when paired with a partner, square dancing style

  • Great work men braving the elements!
