I made myself remember that the workout starts at 5:14 and not 515. Doesn’t matter either way though because I rolled in at 5:11. I was kind of pissed though, I could’ve slept 2 1/2 more minutes. When I got there, there was a man that looked to be in his mid 30s, jogging in the dark, but he resembled an Oompa Loompa so I was intrigued. Upon further investigation, I realized it was Blue Screen of DEATH on a pre-run. Mystery solved.

We moseyed and stretched it out real good. Then we hit some bear crawls in the parking lot. Then we rolled into lunges, and then we rolled into backwards lunges. We spent a lot of time on the wall doing our jabs and our presses, but also doing balls to the wall. After that, we took two full speed sprints back to the front of the lot and then did a little bob and weave exercise between the trees at the tree lot. No one said it out loud, but there may have been silent discussion that we did too many abs today. I had to remind the guys that even though the experts say ab definition is all about cardio and diet, that’s false. It’s all about sit ups. That’s how you get a six pack. Don’t waste your time with cardio and nutrition. Just do more situps.
We closed out in COT, then we went to the tree lot where I set up my phone for what I thought would be a great image of the first official Tree Lot family photo for F3 Waxhaw in 2024. However, my phone zoomed in on some grass, and in my opinion, took the highest definition photo of grass I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, though, the five of us in the back were pretty blurry. Landfill invited me to get into that wooden sled with the rest of the boys. I don’t know if he was trying to punk me, make me feel good, or was just being nice. The fact that the wooden sled is still in one piece should affirm your assumption that I did not get into it.

Good push by the boys all around. I have Q’d at asylum before and it’s a good spot. And it’s only 40 minutes from Marvin so the drive isn’t bad.

Landfill really is one of the best site Q’s in F3 Waxhaw. This brother checks in with me the night before to make sure all is good, he shows up early, he wears reflective gear, and he even sent me a note of encouragement after the workout. He does a really good job as a site Q. Actually, though, I think he’s doing what all of us site Q’s are supposed to do anyway, but he’s actually doing it.

Gasparilla pushed it hard today. And he was very forgiving when I called him Sarsaparilla instead of Gasparilla but I’m starting to think he just didn’t hear me. I don’t know Gasparilla that well just yet, but that will change. He’s an okay guy for a Bucs fan I guess.

Once I learned that the young man roaming the parking lot was not an Oompa Loompa, but Blue Screen of DEATH things turned around for the better. Seriously though, I’m just messing with you Blue Screen of DEATH you’re getting up there in your 60s, yet you still show up to Boot Camps and make younger men look weak while executing a pre-run, the Boot Camp, and then a gym workout. I’m not mad at that Blue Screen of DEATH. In my opinion, you’ve achieved legend status, so keep grinding.

squirts pushed it hard today and did a great job. He and I got to share a little bit of coffee afterwards. I ordered a grande Pike roast with no chaser, no creamer, and no sugar. I sat down at my table and I drank every bit of it very quickly. Even though it was really hot, it didn’t phase me. squirts on the other hand, sucked down some Cran-Merry Christmas drink that. Y daughter likes to get, and he really did look like a sissy when he drank it. Maybe he’ll learn his lesson. He is a very intelligent and kind man, therefore, I have no idea how he started hanging out with Hooch – Bret Turner. I have my theories, but either way, it’s puzzling.

Good work all around today fellas. Thanks Landfill for trusting me with the keys. It really felt good to be the first ones out in the gloom at 5:14 on Monday morning.
