The new thing I warned about this morning was that Swirly was going to Q for me as his make up VQ. He had an accident last night and couldn’t make it. I believe it was a blessing in disguise because he shared his plans with me and it will be tough if he ever gets to do it!

Stripper names and Burpees, what more can you ask for!

First, Leading a group of men in a workout is a humbling thing to do. Though YHC was the “Q”, I asked Proton to CO Q with me and asked Boulder to do his run cadence to keep the pax together and have fun too! Crawdad loves everything to 100, so we asked him to IC the SSH. When in the lead, ask for help! You can’t do it all by yourself!

Secondly, WHY do we have F3 names?? Well,I think its about stripping us down to the core and keeping us humble. No we don’t all have cool nicknames and I think that’s the point. Keep us humble and reminds everyone that we are all here to get better and we are no better than anyone else.

Lastly, on the lighter side of F3 nicknames, the other morning at the DOG POUND AO, Mayberry was having some fun watching Frosty doing squats and mentioned something about having glitter and dollar bills on his 6! At that time I thought about our F3 nicknames and thought about them as Stripper names! I could not stop laughing! So, enjoy life and think about the nickname you have or the man to the right or left of you and think of his name as s stripper name!

AYE!

Calling on the name of God. Exodus 3:14 “God said to Moses, “I Am that I Am.” And He said “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I Am has sent me to you.”

When we describe ourselves we say “I am tired”, “I am not a leader”, “I am the boss” or “I am awesome”. We are calling the name of God every time.  If we are weak or tired, we have called on the name of God.  If we have accomplished some great task that we are proud of, we have called on the name of God.  Remember that it is God that gives us strength, quenches our thirst and helps us to accomplish everything we do.

Great morning to start the week off right!   The satellite pictures I studied in developing the plan did not show that the parking lot was sloped!  The men all gave 100%.
