The purpose of this workout was to share a weight. The CMU, as life often is, was quite heavy and a burden. I want us to remember to share with our brothers: share the good and the bad times, don’t hold back, give all you have to help them out. This can be physically, spiritually, emotionally. Help with everyday tasks, be honest with each other. Older men in our lives have more than likely been through the same times and struggles, younger men will likely go through them at some point, and men our age are possibly experiencing them currently. Let’s use this to build each other, learn from each other, and build one another up!

PAX presence this afternoon was weak, we had some out on injuries and for work. We are tired and sore from carrying the CMU all over The Asylum. Goes to show that the more brothers that are present to support you, the easier life is. You will learn more, pour into others more, and be fulfilled to a greater extent. Let’s get out there and support each other this week! How can I help you?

The Dog Pound delivered some new views this morning as we explored some unchartered roadway and sidewalks.  Average turnout allowed for some good mumble-chatter.  The PAX left it all out there today.  …time to get some breakfast and recharge.

Route 66 – The Narnia Lampposts Edition
The PAX began the workout on the frontside of the AO Trail.  The PAX had a series of 5 exercises. Each exercise was one round of 11 lampposts.

The 5 exercises were:
– Jump Squats
– Burpees
– Dive Bombers
– Big Boy Sit Ups
– Mericans

The PAX bear crawled to the first lamppost where he completed one Jump Squat. He would bear crawl to the next lamppost and complete two Jump Squats and so on until the 11th lamppost finishing with 11 Jump Squats. Following the 11th post, the PAX would run back to the beginning to begin round two of Burpees.

After round 1 (a quarter mile of bear crawls) there was an audible called changing the bear crawls to sprints in between lampposts.

The majority of the PAX Completed 3 rounds. And moseyed back to the AO for ABS

In total the PAX:
Bear Crawled close to a quarter mile
Completed 66 Jump Squats
Completed 66 Burpees
Competed 66 Dive Bombers
(Some made it to Big Boy Sit Ups)

There is no easy path to growth.  Physical, mental and spiritual growth requires something of you and requires you to stay the course.  The road may seem long and hard at times, but look around…your F3 brothers are with you the whole way!

21 PAX got up to “punch Friday in the face.” The workout proved to be pretty difficult, but the PAX worked well to encourage each other throughout the morning. Not much mumblechatter on Everest, but I assume that’s because no one could breath (including myself). Lots of sitting at the end of abs indicates a solid beatdown.

Verse: James 1:19 – “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
This was the first verse I ever memorized and has meant more to me as I grow older. I find that I speak so much and sometimes I wonder “what would that person have said to me during that time if I hadn’t been talking?” But when I don’t speak and I do listen, especially to those who are older and wiser than I, that I learn so much. This has been something that has been on my heart a lot recently. When I stay calm, when I don’t speak, and when I stop and listen, I learn from those around me, I keep a good witness for the Lord by not getting angry, and best of all, I hear and learn from Him in times of quiet and silence. I encourage each of you to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger so as to learn and understand what God is doing in your life and the lives of others.
