I reading through School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity right now. The following passage really hit me when I was reading it.

Your “Why” is the reason you are doing anything at any given time. It’s your fallback when things get tough. If you can’t answer that question, you will likely fail. Similarly, if your “Why” is extrinsic versus intrinsic, and you find yourself in a truly adverse situation, your likelihood of making it to the other side is slim to none. Your going to need a bucket full of “Whys” throughout your life depending on the various situations you find yourself in.

Brad Ritter –  School of Grit: Unlock Your Potential Through Purposeful Adversity

We do so many things in our lives without a good “Why”. We do it because we are expected to or because we think we need to. What is your “Why”? Don’t stop at the first “Why” dig deep and answer the question to as deep a layer as needed until you get to the depth you need to answer the question.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
vs Rom 8:28 Lets stop grumbling and complaining in the little things that we so often do. Our attitudes and perspective need to constantly be in check. Remember that God works ALL things to a Christians good. It’s easy to not pay attention to the little things when relating this verse but be mindful that our lives are made up mostly of the little things.

MOLESKIN:
Gmail will work on his counting in cadence skills. The double CMU shrug carry was harder than anticipated and distance was shortened after first march.

Nolan Richardson w. Hamm

THE SCENE: It was cold again 26 degrees but the wind was calm. Hamm thought it’d be appropriate to do a Nolan Richardson since he grew up in Arkansas and it just so happened the Vols & Hogs had a huge matchup the same day.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH’s, Cherry Pickers, Windmills, Shoulder Stretch, Triceps Stretch, Some other things maybe?

THA-THANG:
A Nolan Richardson (Slightly Modified)

Basically you are with a partner and there are 6 different exercises with mass repititions. While one partner moves backwards (as if he were playing defense on a b-ball court) for 50 yards, Bobby Hurley’s one time, then sprints back to the partner, the other partner performs the exercise then they switch off.

  • 100 Burpees
  • 300 Squats
  • 100 BBS’s
  • 300 LBAC’s
  • 150 Merkins
  • 300 Imperial Walkers

Since We still had some time left, Hamm had a die that his M just got him for Valentine’s Day. IT has a variety of Exercises on it which have all been done at F3 (though some names are different). So we did that for a while which included lunges, merkins, wall sits, mountain climbers, side planks, etc. etc.

MARY:

Here we did LBC’s, Hello D’s, Flutter Kicks, & Leg Lifts.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

1-8 (See Tags). Also, we had an FNG we named Gmail primarily because when asked about his first email address he stated it was G-Man@…….. and he since he seemed to be touting for his F3 Nickname to also be G-Man we chose Gmail instead.
