This morning YHC decided to run down to the Thicket because the moon was so full and beautiful that to not enjoy every second of these types of mornings would be a crime, and no head lamp was required. If you missed this spectacular morning sky because you were laying in the fartsack then too bad for you. YHC arrived at the Thicket to find 8 men ready to work and enjoy the perfect temperature and full moon light.

YHC had to get moving and keep this PAX on pace for we had a lot to get done and not much time. As per usual the PAX jogged up to the construction in BC stopping at the bottom of the hill to start a round or traveling burpees. It’s important to YHC to keep the group together so the call of ‘Hop… Burp’ was born. All together hop… burp, hop… burp, hop… burp. At some point YHC lost count and could sense it was time to mix things up. So bear crawl it was, and crawl we did. Next, lunge to each sewer pipe and hit the ground for merkins, repeat till no more pipes. We had so much fun with Hop… Burp that we did it again to finish out the hill. On to the basketball court where the played a fan favorite passed the Dutchie. One man does squats while rest of pax does merkins passing the Dutchie around the full circle. Moving on we ran to Great Meadow where we found a very long and steep hill, but first 10 burpees. Next, run down the hill stopping to circle up and do a side step squat carousel. Goat Cheese, being very astute and concerned, suggested that we switch directions. Winner, winner, side step squat dinner!! Run down the hill some more, circle up, side step squat carousel in the other direction. Run down to the bottom of the hill. Time for more burpees, 10, go, do it, now. Sprint to the top of the hill, 10 burpees, work. Head back down the hill, this time stopping to do a bear crawl merkin carousel. At one point Stickman observed and announced that facing down hill was harder. Run down the hill some more, bear crawl carousel in opposite direction. Confirmed, the downhill portion is harder. Run to the bottom of the hill, 10 burpees, exercise. Time to sprint again up the hill, you guessed it, 10 burpees. The clock was running out so we headed to the picnic benches to knock out some dips then it was time to head back to home base. During the run back, YHC overheard mumblechatter about ‘…probably make us do burpees….’, so that’s what was going to happen during our minute left of Mary. Be careful what you say, YHC is always listening.

‘If you only have a hammer every problem looks like a nail’. I don’t know if F3 is the solution to every problem in life but its been a life changing experience for me and it certainly has solved some of my problems. Thanks to everyone for coming out here gloom after gloom and working with each other, it makes a difference. Hammer that nail!
