Nah
THE THANG:
We rucked to Dunkin on Broadway from the AO and grabbed some coffee. Then we crossed Broadway and meandered through residential streets, making a loop route back to the AO. There was good fellowship while we rucked and sipped coffee. The ruck was about 2.5 miles
MARY:
nah

FixerUpper had one but I forgot what it was, sorry.

We took prayer requests and lifted those up. We also thanked God for our health that allows us to ruck and workout.

Iron Pax, Week 2 – WHY?!

AO: thequacken
Q: FixerUpper
PAX: Lizzy, Z-Pack, Herbie, FixerUpper
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Sorta, while disclaiming
THE THANG: Totally f3greenwood.wordpress.com/2023/09/10/bde-mile-ipc-2023-week-2/
MARY: No
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Marine Mud Run 9/16 at Melton Hill Park. Contact Lizzy to run or man the tent.
COT: Why would someone get up at 4:45am and drive across town to run for miles at a middle school track? A couple reasons come to mind :
#1 – The dudes who will be there. I’m excited to see the PAX and celebrate the wins and carry the burdens with you all.
#2 – A daily dose of discipline. If I regularly don’t go to F3, I tend to stay up too late, eat too much, and spend too much time on screens. Bad place for me to be.

The IPC is hard, and so are the other 11 months of F3, but the investment of time and effort is well worth it.

THE THANG:
ruck to Central HS, option to do ruck PT or continue on track. Ruck back. 3 sandies came along.

10 burpees (slick, ruck, or sandbag option)
20 HR Merkins
30 Thrusters
40 Ruck swings
50 Squats
1 trip up and back the bleachers

YHC caught some grief since the stadium lights were not turned on, a gate was locked, and the track did not have stripes. Even though these difficulties were overcome, any further complaints should be directed in writing to Knox Co Schools.

A team sand bag toss for distance competition between Big Ball and Asylum PM was the Ghost Flag tiebreaker.

MARY: no time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Welcome Crash DR from Louisville.
Ruck from Asylum to Big Ball tomorrow AM. Check #ruck channel for details.
Ghost Flag returns to Asylum PM.
Ruck from The Quacken to Big Ball next Saturday 8/26

COT:
Proverbs 16:1-3 are my theme verses for The Quacken this year.

The LORD knows my motivation and how I can either be on the campaign trail to get guys to come to the Quacken and not really care about them and be more concerned with my own agenda OR I can be discouraged and think this is not worth doing, too hard, etc.

Scripture is a way to correct both of these harmful ways of thinking. It says to me “Continue to work hard! Remember that it is not all about you!”

Prov 16:3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
