We split a BURPH by getting into teams of two: 100 Burpees, 200 Merkins, 300 Air Squats, Two miles of running. So, while one partner ran around the track 1/4 mile, the other partner commenced the exercised until 2 miles worth of running was accomplished and all the exercises were complete

We then went and did 11’s at the planters (Step Ups & Dips)

Then we moseyed to the rock pile and found a decent size rock and a big rock too and did 3 sets as follows:

25 Curl to Overhead, 25 Rows, 25 Tricep Extensions, 50 Chest Press with the Big Rock

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Leave no man behind. Leave no man the same.

Our heritage tells us of a people who were freed from Egypt and when life got hard in the desert they wanted to go back. Then when they were provided a Saviour and the law was removed they were upset and wanted to return to the “way things were”. We are the same. We remember how things were and how they were comfortable. We are not promised that. We will be and are living in difficult times where each day brings decisions for comfort or challenge. F3 is not an easy choice. Get up, get smoked, get better, DO IT AGAIN. We are here to help each other prepare for life physically and mentally. Don’t be surprised by challenges but be prepared and lean on the fellowship around you.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
On June 6, 1944, American troops started the assault on Omaha and Utah beaches. As A-Rod had stated on Thursday, many of the men were between the ages of 17-19. These were young men who were not conscripted, drafted, or forced to be there; they volunteered. Nothing about the situation was easy, but they chose to do the hard thing. Those that survived the landing were surrounded by their fallen brothers-in-arms. I can only imagine the thoughts going through their heads. Thoughts of not surviving the day or ever returning home. They could have given up right there and waited for the inevitable to come, but they chose to do the hard thing. They moved forward.

We have it pretty easy today. We don’t face life and death choices like these boys did. But we can still make the hard choices. Get up and go to a workout that will be brutal. Stand up for our families and our choices. Stand up for our communities. Strive to do what is right throughout the day.
