Today marks my 66th trip around the sun, so I wanted to do a workout where each exercise had to be done 66 times, and since there are 8 letters in the word birthday, there were going to be 8 different exercises to complete.
Weather – 37 degrees, cold and clear at 0530
PAX – Glen Ross, P.E.D., Tin Cup, Blueprint, Buschhh, Pope, and Fallguy Q
F3 Disclaimer – I said that I am not a professional, and every exercise is merely a suggestion and please modify as necessary. We then ran to the field hockey field behind the restroom building.
In all of my excitement, I forgot to do the warmups. What can I say, I’m an old man.

I asked everyone to grab a coupon and line up in front of my grandkids Playschool art board where I had the list of 8 exercises that we were going to tackle. Remember, each exercise had to be done 66 times.
- Curls
- Single Arm Rows- 33 each arm
- Military Presses
- Bench Presses
- Scull Crushers
- Incline Merkins
- Derkins
- Big Boys w/coupon on chest
When planning the workout, I wasn’t sure if we were going to complete it in 45 minutes, but this group is tough as hell, and they finished with plenty of time to spare, but had to wait on the old man to finally finish his set.
Thang #2 –
We then moseyed to the tennis courts for some Mary work. I’m sure I am leaving some things out (once again I’m an old man) but we went around the circle and each guy gave an exercise:
Box cutters
Freddie Mercurys
Flutter kicks
LBC’s
Pickle pounders
American Hammers
Pretzel crunches
Gas Pumps
Rosalitas
My daughter (FIA member) left me a birthday balloon and goodies, so we took a few pictures, then circled up around the balloon for count off and name-a-rama
I’m not good at making up prayers on the fly, so I just prayed that this was the hardest thing that each of us had to deal with today, and that each one of us will strive to be the best fathers, husbands, sons, employers and/or employees. I also gave thanks to the group for allowing me to be part of F3, and a great bunch of guys. I thanked everyone for coming out and being part of my birthday. I hope it was a good workout and that everyone had fun.
