“It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.” “Hit it.” – Blues Brothers
15 faithful showed up this morning to trust YHC knew what he was doing. Debatable. It was dark, and without much of a plan in mind, we took off. #fakeittilyoumakeit
WARM-UP
- SSH x 30
- Imperial Walkers x 25
- Mountain Climbers x 30
- Plank Jacks x 30
- Squats x 20
THE THANG
Mosey down the greenway to some benches by the lake. Partner up.
Partner A does merkins, while Partner B does dips, all in cadence. Flapjack exercises at the end of each round.
- Round 1: 20 reps each exercise
- Round 2: 15 reps each exercise
- Round 3: 10 reps each exercise
Mosey on down the greenway into the pitch black until we eventually found the rock pile (this was a lot further than YHC remembered). Grab a rock for curls, overhead presses, and bent over rows in cadence.
- Round 1: 15 reps each exercise
- Round 2: 10 reps each exercise
- Round 3: 5 reps each exercise
20 squats because, why not? On we went around the lake, stopping for some impromptu Mary.
- LBCs x 30
- Rosalita x 30
- Bicycle x 20
The moseying picked up the pace at this point (Cherie Berry has wheels), and the PAX got a little stretched thin. Brakes were applied, 20 more squats, and then two-line indian run to the wooden wall. 20 decline merkins.
Continue the indian run to the bridge for 20 incline merkins, then onward to the base of the last hill up to The Damn. Stop for plankorama. Bear crawl up the hill and then jog back to the parking lot for one last terrible on-the-fly decision.

MOLESKIN
For an off-the-cuff workout, I thought it went pretty well. Safe to say everyone was pretty gassed at the end, but I was worried when we got stretched so thin going through the woods in the dark. Pretty sure Pergo said he almost got lost. Sorry about that, brotha.
Lots of prayer requests out there, so be sure to keep those PAX you know going through some things on your mind, as well as those outside of F3.

Aye. Until next time,
