The clock struck 5:15 and again the familiar beginning of the LSU Pregame show rang out. YHC stared at his shoes and thought, “It’s your birthday. No one would mind a fartsack. Uh oh, you signed up for a birthday Q.” So with remorse for the decision YHC laced up, made coffee, kissed the LoHL and got in the truck. “You need to post today. Today is not about being 34. Today is about redemption!” The PAX was strong; stronger than YHC has seen in a while. (The Bucktown Coastie & Lafitte’s Plunge have consistent but low numbers.) “Been a while since you’ve Qed this many. Can you handle this?” YHC greeted the PAX and thanked them for the birthday wishes, and did some preliminary stretches. The small talk ensued when the clock struck 5:30. The morning officially became The Gloom. “Gentlemen…Bogey…This is F3. I am not a professional trainer. Let’s mosey to Falcon Field.”
The Warm Up
· SSH IC x 34
· 1 Burpee OYO
· Hillbilly x 33 (YHC lost count)
· 9 Burpees OYO
· Peter Parker x 34

Mosey to the Ankle Sprainer a.k.a. The 610 Under Pass; “redeem yourself”
· 11’s Merkins/WWII Sit ups

Getting back to Falcon Field for base running sprints was ambitious. YHC was the 6 and completed the 11’s with hardly any time left.

Moleskin: YHC sprained his ankle during this exact work out 12 weeks ago. The road to recovery has been quite tough; 4 weeks in a boot, 4 weeks in a brace, 6 weeks of physical therapy. Thank Sky Q that no surgery was needed. Through the Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith afforded to me by the fellow PAX, I have been able to stay active during the recovery (Coastie & Plunge). While a former version of YHC would have used the injury as an excuse to sulk and demotivate. The PAX motivated and encouraged. YHC would like to that the NOLA PAX and all PAX for this gift. F3 cannot and will not be taken for granted.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead,
Da Parish
