YHC was pleased to find a sunny, dry, and warm (38 degrees, I’ll take it) morning as I made my way to Raleigh’s finest uptown Saturday offering. The weather did not match my mood, however, as I have smartsacked, fartsacked, vacationed, and fell down with illness and poor excuses this winter. Time to get back in gear with some self-inflicted pain. Apologies to all that showed up, but then again, that’s why you keep showing up, so what I’m really trying to say is “you’re welcome.”
Warm-up: Jog the front of the school and back to parking lot, interspersing butt-kickers and high-knees along the way. Felt a little like Hi-Fidelity (hint, hint).

Circle up for: SSH x20, Good Morning x20, Imperial Walkers x20, Imperial Mountain Climbers (knees out) x20, Windmill x20, Merkin x15
Recover on the jog across the front of school and find a spot on the rail. Ascending/Decending cadence ladder of Rows/AirSquats:

Recover on the jog to the track for what I am calling “Back on the line.” Feel free to offer your own titles in the comments section.

T-claps to our 2 FNGs Scrum and Cherie Berry! Strong work from start to finish. Watch out for these 2.
Praise and prayers for Dufrense as he is at home again and resuming his physical therapy…and whatever else you want to call it when we show up! A few words I will call it are: amazing, inspiring, challenging, fun, and the best 45 minutes of your week. Get there.
Next Saturday is big. No Catalyst, as we will ALL be at the 2nd anniversary of F3Raleigh workout at Pullen. I repeat, no Catalyst this Saturday. Bring a friend or two, this will be big.
Then…double down with Shaggy and crew for the Kilt Run that afternoon. VERY short run (wearing a kilt) followed by an 8k through our fair city.
Our GORUCK Custom Challenge is 5/03/13. Training will begin shortly. This is a team event that will challenge you in many ways and strengthen you in so many more. You can and should do this with your F3 brothers. Get informed and get in.
Thank you for opportunity to Q this fine group. Your strength and effort is inspiring.
