9 humid-loving warriors hit the eject button from the fart sack and arrived in the Atlee high school parking lot to engage in a fight that went something like this…

The official word was given that high school football ticket prices were raised from $7 to $8 for this upcoming season. YHC noticed some mumble chatter by the Ms of some of the PAX and decided to make that the hidden theme of this morning’s fun fest. The number 8 was experienced throughout.

The humidity was no joke this morning. The PAX launched out across the parking lot only to return to the same spot. Mumble chatter was prevalent as everyone seemed to have something to say about YHC’s decision to bring us back. That is when YHC handed the Q over to Opus for a burpee beatdown to the song, Tubthumping. It has been awhile since YHC had heard that song and I don’t think anyone realized how many times the singer sang, “I get knocked down but I get up again” until this mornings barrage of burpees. Well played, Opus!

The run to the football field parking lot with LBCs all along the way provided ample opportunities for the PAX to shine. Spike and Spit set the pace. HoneyDo, Wheelie and Circle K were right behind them. Spike took it to the next level on the return run. He continued all the way to the road and left the PAX in the dust. Wheelie wasn’t too far behind though. Flounder fought hard and kept pace with the PAX and continues to show that “the workouts don’t get easier but you will get stronger.” He is stepping up!

YHC was reminded again of the ridiculous fun of F3 this morning. Every morning provides a new opportunity for memories and strengthening. It is always an honor to lead the PAX in the gloom!
