So with the coming of a new year, YHC thought a good theme would be 2,017, as in let’s do 2,017 repetitions as our workout. Disclaimer, any FNG, prayer
Weather: light rain and 32F. Yes, cold and wet, the worst combination when doing an outside workout. Snow was threatening and we got some flurries about half way through.
Warmup: SH x 20 ic; TTT x 20 ic; LBAC x 20 ic, reverse x 20 ic; Imperial Walkers x 20 ic; LBC x 20 ic (4 count); Flutter Kicks x 20 ic (4 count); Merkins x 20 omc; (Subtotal count = 160, Cumulative = 160)
Mosey to Stepped Wall:; Alternate SSH x 15 omc and Monkey Humpers x 15 omc for 10 levels; (Subtotal count = 150, Cumulative = 310)
Mosey to stairs, climb all the way up to Laurel street, go back down; (Subtotal count = 130, Cumulative = 440) At this point, Zuckerberg announced that we were less than 25% to the goal of 2,017 which resulted in much mumblechatter and a suggestion of counting our steps. Denied by the Q.
Mosey to Curved wall:; People’s chair 4 count ic x 25; Air chair 4 count ic x 25; Rinse and repeat. (Subtotal count = 400, Cumulative = 840)
Go up the stairs to assembly street, go back down; (Subtotal count = 130, Cumulative = 970) At this point, the PAX announced that it was definitely LEG DAY. More suggestion to count going down the stair, again DENIED.
Mosey to covered stage (because we didn’t want to get wet, but we were already soaked, so it didn’t matter): Merkins x 25 omc; BBSU x 25 omc; Rinse and repeat. (Subtotal count = 100, Cumulative = 1,070) Now PAX are questioning how in the heck are we going to reach 2,017?? Well, let’s mosey some more and find out.
Mosey back to shovel flag: LBC 4 count ic x 25; Flutter kicks 4 count ic x 25; Squats 4 count ic x 25; Ankle touches 4 count ic x 25; We were supposed to rinse and repeat but we ran out of time, so YHC told everyone to imagine that they rinsed and repeated. So these count as 4 each, so the total is 800. (Subtotal count = 800, Cumulative = 1,870)
We still need more reps, so sprint 50 yards and back, that’s 100 yards total. (Subtotal count = 100, Cumulative = 1,970)
OK, we are down to the last 47 reps, so YHC ordered high plank for 47 seconds. (Subtotal count = 47, Cumulative = 2,017. GREAT WORK MEN, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
BOM: Count-o-Rama; Name-o-Rama; Review of the Q; Praises and prayer requests; Prayer. DONE coffeteria at the Mission.
Naked Moleskin: With all the talk of snow in the forecast, YHC was not sure how many PAX would be coming from Mission or other AO’s for that matter. Of course Zuckerberg and Enterprise were the first to come down the hill, the stallwarts from the program at Oliver Gospel Mission. These guys have been an inspiration to YHC, their dedication to F3 and hard work ethic are commendable. And then a few others strolled in just before GOTIME, so a good turnout given the weather conditions.
I must say that these guys at the Mission are truly living the F3 mantra of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. They work hard all week, learning the biblical ways to turn their lives around and commit themselves to numerous workouts during the week. Their knowledge of the Bible is commendable. And the fellowship at coffeteria is filled with honest and fruitful discussion. These guys have some of the keenest insights into life because they have had their share of experiences for sure. We can all learn from them. I am honored to call them friends and F3 brothers!!
