With so many amazing options out there tomorrow (Premier of Launchpad, @Pizza the Hutt VQ at The Complex, Black Diamond at The Citadel, anything @Mr. Miyagi does, etc…), I certainly understand your dilemma: Where the hell am I supposed to post tomorrow?

Let me answer that…

Tomorrow is THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!! And if you are looking for THE BEST WORKOUT OF THE YEAR on THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR, then join me the Dark Tower, THE BEST AO! Guess what else… I will bring THE BEST PLAYLIST OF THE YEAR too! And when it’s all said and done, you will feel THE BEST YOU HAVE FELT ALL YEAR!

Let’s Recap:

I think you know what to do… Bring a coupon, HC below and LET’S EFFING GO!!!

 

It was a delightful 10 Degrees with a feel feel of 1 Degree.  Could have been worse… it could have been below 0.  Great, crisp start to the THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

Warm-O-Rama

Intro:  Welcome to F3!  My Name is Percy and I’ll be your host today. F3 is a free workout, open to all men, held rain or shine, cold or hot… Workouts are peer led in a rotating fashion.  I am not a professional, I don not know your injuries… I only know mine.  That being said, we will be moving a lot to keep warm, because it’s reaking cold and this is stupid, but please modify as needed.

Welcome to the THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

The PAX questioned it being the best day of the year, and FACEPLANT asked if it was my birthday?

Aye, it might be my birthday…

Let’s Get Started!

42 Shoulder Taps (In-Cadence)
42 SSH (In-Cadence)
24 Abe Vigoda’s (In-Cadence, and becasue 42 would have taken forever!)

The PAX then split, 7 off to Martial Arts with Faceplant, 5 with Me for BC.

DORA 42Unfortunately ran low on time, so I asked PAX to choose 1 exercise to do from the following:

42 Minnesota Mike Tysons
42 4-Count Monkey Humpers
42 Midget Blockees
42 Lt. Dans (Squat-Lunge-Lunge = 1)

The PAX didn’t know what Minnesota Mike Tyson’s were, so I demonstrated… These were chosen.
… and then quickly regretted

PAX did AMRAP Minnesota Mike Tyson’s, then ran to the circle at the top of the hill, then back down for  more AMRAP MMT’s until 42 was reached.

 

SUICIDAL MARY – 9 Minutes of Mary + Sprints, Performed to GnR’s November Rain

Thanks to all of you for joining me on the best day of the year!  I know a lot of people don’t make a big deal out of their birthdays (and I don’t really either), but there really is no reason NOT to celebrate.  I’m 42 years old today, and since starting F3 about 4.5 months ago, I can honestly say I have never felt better.  I’m in better shape and have more energy now then I did when I was 20 or 25 or 30 when I was in the gym 5 days a week.  I have all of you guys to thank for this.  I really appreciate the support that F3 gives to, to the PAX, to the Community… and what it does for my everyday well being. I really can’t thank you all enough for making a huge difference in my life and pushing me to be better.

That being said, thoughts and prayers for Poutine’s Mom, Bjorn’s Mom, and Flush’s daughter.  Let’s have a moment of silent prayer and reflection…

Thanks again everyone for joining me on my birthday, and as I always end my Q’s…

DO BETTER!!!

I was originally a little disappointed on the amount of HC’s I had for the best day of the year.  I knew there was a lot of competition today, and I tried to sell it. But I realized that I had never been to a BC where there was only a handful of HIMs… And it turned out that I really enjoyed the smaller crowd.  The opportunity for mumblechatter with some HIM’s you don’t always get to talk to in a big group.  THANK YOU to Smalls, Juice Box, Townie & Twinning for a completely different experience today.

Oh, and Smalls… I’m sorry we didn’t do Monkey Humpers today.
