Preamble:
Another year around the F3 sun, another return of Flop. This was my old F3 name for 48 hours before I got renamed. We resurrected the Windjammer Clown Car and packed 5 PAX in Cookie’s Jeep…er…I mean Bronco.
Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey over to the flag pole with some but-kickers, high knees, and carioca left & right along the way.
- SSH
- Hillbilly
- Mountain Man Poopers (only a few, and some PAX were just getting the hang of things when I called it off) [btw, these work, had 1 PAX make a mid-BD pitstop b/c of how they freed up his bowels]
- Weedpicker
- Arm Circles (forward & backward)
- Covids
Mosey to the track.
The Thang:
The Thang #1
Complete each exercise below with a run around the track in between for a F.L.O.P. mile.
- Flutters x25 (alpha count)
- Lunges x50 (single count)
- Overhead Claps x75
- Plank Jacks x100
Once done we moseyed over to the rock pile for a ‘lifting & traveling coupon’ and down to the Field of Dreams.
The Thang #2
My first BD was Week 4 of IPC 2019, so I continue my yearly variation on that. It must have been good, b/c half-way through NSU (not Nova-Scotia University for those asking) wanted to know if I did this yearly. Of course I said yes, so he said he had plans around this time next year and wouldn’t be able to make it 🙂

Prayers for the Lumbergh’s (M’s difficult career transition & his own career discussions)
TNT Lead by No-see-um and his pickles. There are big pickles and little pickles; we’ll just leave it at that. But great message, jokes aside.
Naked-Man Moleskin:
Wow, another year down, but hopefully many more to come. It definitely doesn’t get easier, but you do get stronger. This group of men really help, and I really appreciate the push and support I get day in and day out. During coffeteria someone asked me what I did before F3, and my answer was ‘sleep in.’ Now that seems like a silly thing. I barely remember what life was like without these men & F3, but I also don’t know what it would be like without it now. The pickle story really does make sense, you can’t go back…and that’s a good thing.
Until next time!
