6 HIMs made it out today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This extra time at home with my family has made me realize how easy it is to take our loved ones for granted.  I have been able to more-readily witness all of the things my wife does for our family and how little recognition and appreciation she receives for it.  It hit me the other day that I had not shown any affection to my wife all day, despite being in the same house.  I couldn’t believe how complacent I had become.  I want to encourage everyone to take advantage of the time you have each day to let your loved ones know how much you care for them. Show them how much they are appreciated and let them know as often as possible!
MOLESKIN:
Great to be back in the gloom!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Word of the day is inertia.  Inertia in a physical sense is that an object will remain at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.  Unfortunately that is also true when that velocity is zero.  When we went into the safer at home mode and halted workouts, I didn’t think I would struggle with workout discipline like I did.  I had a few minor physical things, but the mental battle of getting up and working hard absolutely smoked me.  The fartsack was victorious more times than not.

My velocity was basically zero, and though I wish it weren’t true I am sure I wasn’t the only one who struggled without the accountability of my brothers standing in the gloom.  So now the external force is back in my life.  My brothers, standing at the fountains at 5:30 eagerly awaiting whatever silly nonsense I’ve come up with or whatever beatdown someone else has concocted.  They’re there, acting upon me and accelerating me more than they know.

AYE!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Jeremiah 31:2 – “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness”.

We have all been under a new “sword” with some changing job situations, being at home more often around spouses and family, and being restricted to where we can go. It’s hard to adjust to, but we will find our grace in the new wilderness we are experiencing through God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Things are different, right? We have not even landed on “normal” yet. Our government has injected over 10 trillion dollars into the economy, millions are out of work, thousands are ill, thousands are healed, people are snitching on neighbors, and Kim Jon is missing. What are we to do?

I have no idea….I do know that I’m not in charge, that this is beyond a challenging time, and I can’t fix any of this. But I can put my trust in God. His promises hold true. We are loved, we are His, and nothing happens without His permission. I can be strengthened through this historical event and lean fully on my faith or I can scream into the wind.
MOLESKIN:
Pray for those around you. Those you walk past, stand 6-feet from, and avoid throughout your day.

JUCO RECON MISSION

THE SCENE: 60’s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER:  Full F3 Disclaimer given along with COVID19 restrictions
WARM-O-RAMA:  Merkins(IC), Squats(IC), Plank Jacks(IC), Cherry Pickers(IC)
THA-THANG:
JUCO RECON:  Divide up into three teams of 5.  Each team will attempt to complete all three Missions (one at a time) located at three different areas on campus, rotating counterclockwise to the next mission after completion of the previous one. Teams will separately run to each, staying on pavement at all times (grass medians are lava).  Why? Because each time the team makes a turn and changes direction (even the slighter ones), the team does 15 Merkins, 15 Squats, 15 Plank Jacks. If any team member inadvertently tries to cross a median to avoid a turn, it’s 10 Burpees for the team and back to the pavement.

  • Mission 1: Large East Parking Lot by Duck Pond- Bernie all the way across and all the way back
  • Mission 2: Coupon Pile at Loading Dock – 100 Curls, 100 Tri Extensions
  • Mission 3: Sophomore Hill – Bear Crawl all the way up hill, Crawl Bear all the way down opposite side (this was awful)

MARY:
Flutter Kicks (IC)(x25), LBCs (IC)(x25).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Scripture states that God is Love.  Scripture states Love embraces Patience, Kindness, Truth, Resilience, Faith, Hope, Endurance, and Perseverance. On the other hand, Scripture states Love resists, stands against, and is opposed to Envy, Boasting, Arrogance, Rudeness, Selfishness, Anger, Resentment, and Wrongdoing.  Do you practice the above attributes that are embraced by Love?  Over the past few months, we have all had extra time perhaps to meditate on what really matters in life, what we place our trust and hope in.  For me, all of my hope – the only true hope I believe we have in this world – is Jesus.  It is all about Him for me.  He means more than family, more than my personal health and fitness.  Just Him, Jesus.
MOLESKIN:
It was great to be back out at JUCO with these men.  Snaggletooth wanted me to name the workout, “THAT SUCKED.”  I felt the above title was more appropriate.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Booster on Q Wednesday.
