THE THANG: Throw Medicine Balls down the field, switch each time. Next, rounds of 1 Burpee, 2 Bonne Blair, 3 Merkins, 4 Bobby Hurleys, then run down the field; the switch to a session of 2 4-count Shoulder Taps, then 3 4 count Mountain Climbers, and run have the field, then a session of BET YOUR MEDICINCE BALL THROW–you must pay one burpee to throw, then you make a bet of a body weight exercise, For example, YHC’s first best was 10 merkins…FAIL (so YHC paid 20 merkins). Various PAX did well and there’s no need to get into the specifics of who failed twice and all of that. It was fun for the whole family. MARY:

COT: It is Co-Q Smokey’s 1 year anniversary of doing F3. He remembers one early workout with murder bunnys in which the coupon disintegrated. Once you hit double respect, perhaps some folks will treat you differently. Maybe they will push you aside. Don’t accept that. His last year in Federal service was his most productive. At the Patriot, we say “double respect!”
