It was a humid day. Like running through a ocean suspended in the air. And as it happens sometimes, something I learned from Zuckerberg, I had no clue what was in store up until about 5 min to kick off. But of course, burpees are a must, right? Everyone absolutely loves burpees! I did not want to disappoint the pax with an easy workout. And, its an awesome feeling when the pax arrives, and I won’t name names, but a certain someone from Batesburg asks if I’m the Q, and immediately regrets asking. You know you have become an integral part of your pax lives, when your Q can make others squirm.
So we started out with a BOM.
Then right into a COP on the move.

Maybe repeated 5 times all the way to 126.
The meat of our workout.
Start where we are at end of bike trail. 1 Burpee. And mosey to each light post. At each light post add 1 burpee. So 1 burpee, 2 burpees, 3 burpees, ECT. And at each bridge we have our circuit breaker.
Merkins×10, LBCs×10, Squats×10
all OYO.
By the first bridge the pax was slowing down. Everyone was talking about how much the Q and his exercises sucked. At the end light post I think the count of burpees would have been around 28. That is a lot of burpees. I mean, a lot. Even for YHC that F3 has molded me into loving burpees like no other. There were several who made it quite a ways ahead of the pax to 20 burpees and kudos to them for sure. We got to the 4th bridge maybe before time caught up with me. We took off in a fast mosey to the flag.
Time for the pax to meet Mary.

Horrible Q because of all the burpees.
Prayers/praise
BOM
Awesome seeing pax from all over our region posting this morning.
Several pax ask for prayers for family, friends, other pax and their families.
Keep the mission guys in your prayers. I have said it before, its a very difficult thing to go through that program. And much respect to those of us who make it.
None of our mentors made it, so for our F3 moment I took a moment to applaud the fellas in the mission, and hopefully tried to get the point across, when you leave that program and start your next chapter in life, come back to these circles. The men who make up F3 are a special breed. And they will continue to be there for you.
Which led me to my request. I am trying to make some moves with my career, with a lot of help from the friends I’ve made in the gloom. I continue to have skeletons pop up. And they must be met head on with positivity and hard work. I spent 15 years screwing up, not going to fix itself in just a couple years.
F3 Nation is the greatest group of men I have ever had the pleasure being part of. Thank you.
Enterprise out.
