I promised Bartman some old school, circa-2016-style F3, so that's what we did. Party like it's 2016, straight-up.
Warm-O-Rama was 30 SSH, some fast feet/high knees with a drop merkin (or burpee, depending on your politics). Then the old fave combo WMH -> Good Mornings (yr welcome, Bartman), followed by a closer of some SLO-ASS merkins then THE THANG
Mosey to the residents center green, observing the sad clowns in the yoga studio paying hard-earned $ to get yelled at by the old guy in the above-the-knee socks while Eye Of The Tiger blasts from the speakers, guess they missed my post on Facebook yesterday...but we men are tasting the GD dirt as we BEAR CRAWL across the green for 20 jump-ups then lunge-walking back for a set of 20 irkins/dirkins/dips like we used to do in the day, then also like we used to do, we RINSE AND REPEAT. There. then...
Indian run back to the bus lot for "Bartman's choose your adventure," with the menu consisting of old faves Dora and constant motion. Bartman chooses Dora, we are off.
Partner up while PAX 1 sprints to the end of the lot and then politicians back, PAX 2 does 50 merkins, 100 WW2, 150 squats and oh, what the heck, 100 more merkins.
It ain't old school, but it's kind of my thing. Mosey to the Jacob's Ladder hill for 1-8 of JL, a burpee then sprint up the hill, 2 burpees, sprint, you get the picture. As always, I'm briefly afraid my hear's gonna 'splode inside my chest. Mission accomplished!
Then it's, remember how we used to do it? 5 minutes of Mary? I'm off my game so it's 3 MOM, time for a 10-count around of Laney Lou and then a 1-minute low plank. FIN.
Moleskin:
GREAT to see a couple of our F3 Franklin heroes post the Pit for the first time in a minute, Tortoise and Love Boat. Even better to see a couple new faces, Noble Virus from Murphreesboro and Caulk n' Walls. Way to show up with the hilarious name that should keep him coming back just for laffs. I'm grateful to you guys for keeping F3 Franklin growing and keeping the energy high. I'm better because of this group, and it's you guys who keep me pushing my limits - and I hope to do the same for each of you. Prayers for Elaine Coyle's surgery today, and for each of you to keep working to be better men every day.
