Misty References

Not sure if it was an honor or a complaint that YHC got compared to Misty today, as a little Dreadnought flavor came out at the Rolling Stone. First time for everything I guess! We got in over 2.5 miles this morning and thats a big deal for us! YHC arrived and saw Couch Potato already on the track, with Purple Rain joining him for a little standard. Purple is pushing for his half marathon and CP is the running wizard around these parts. A familiar van, unseen for days came up, other wise known as the plankmaster “Snookie.” Real good having you back today man. I know you were hurting a lot, but it’s always good when you post my friend. Remember, Mondays, we have the Green Mile… (Remember that HC from about 3 months ago?!)

The minutes slipped by quickly. Time for the Mission Statement and then off for a mosey. McGregor, Plebe, Milton and Griswold rounded out the PAX for the day. Stopped off at the clubhouse/shed for SSH IC x 25. Then over to the track for an indian run for a lap and a half. Squats IC x 25 and then YHC instructed the PAX to partner up. Purple Rain was YHC’s partner for the day. Going opposite directions around track, meet at 50 to do exercise, circle around and meet again to repeat.

Mosey over to the Hill for 7 rounds of bearcrawling our only hill at Croatan HS. A little mumble chatter about what the true definition of the “top” of the hill was. YHC encouraged the PAX to go as far as they could / felt convicted too!

Mosey over to the basketball goal where YHC had placed a basketball. PAX on their 6 performing a rapid fire progression of Mary while each member made a shot of some sort. Someone may or may not have had one of the worst airballs of all time! But McGregor won’t tell his mom it was his dad 🙂

With time running out, Mary was kept to a minimum and it was off to the shovel flag as quickly as possible. YHC told the PAX to sprint around the last corner and as he and Purple Rain sped up, YHC was one step away from blowing a tire on a parking lot curb that came out of nowhere. Literally almost had two Pocahontas style falls due to a stupid parking lot curb! The PAX circled back around and brought in Snookie who really pushed himself hard while in pain all day. Hard Stop.

Milton was a huge encourager to McGregor today, pushing him to give it all he had. Plebe and Griswold were busting out exercises like a couple of bosses. And my respect goes up for Couch Potato by the day. He has posted for 10 Straight Days now. T-Claps my friend! And ya had to deal with 4 of um being Laettner Q’s. My apologies if they didn’t stack up to your standards!

Griswold shared a prayer concern for his family, as did a few others. Continuing to lift up our fellas that have been fartsacking a lot. You boys are missed. Plebe led in prayer this morning and then it was time for a picture with the Plank that ole Snookie finally brought to the game! Pretty cool stuff. Doesn’t really matter if its 12 degrees or 52 degrees… there is nothing like starting my day with the men of F3. Thanks for letting me lead Griswold. Good to see that Shovel Flag has defrosted nicely 🙂
