THE SCENE: 78* and about 114% humidity, perfect recipe to smoke some goo
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Squat and reach x10
Shoulder taps x15
Tempo lunge x10
3 point merkins x10
THA-THANG:
Short mosey out of start point and over to base of Big Ball. Routine all start with 1 rep of exercises, and increase each round by 1 rep until Q calls time. This sucked…
- 1 pull up on Big Bal
- Crawl bear the steps to the big landing
- 1 Burpee
- Lunge flat ground to cone (roughly 15-20 yards)
- 1 Hand release merkin
- Sprint to stairs and return to Big Ball
Lather rinse repeat increasing reps of pull ups, burpees, and hand release merkins. I think our Jack Rabbits got to 7 or 8.
Short mosey to pedestrian bridge over the pond. Lt. Dan’s across the bridge to even out our legs a little bit: Four lunge steps, four air squats all the way across and Al Gore waiting for the six.
Another short mosey into the amphitheater and everyone on their six for quick ab work:
- Flutter kicks x15
- American hammers x15
- 3 minutes of plank, alternating between high and low plank at 30 second intervals (its fun to pour sweat while not moving)
Quick set of Sevens on the amphitheater steps, starting with six sit up ups at the bottom and one jump squat at the top, running through the routine.
Short mosey back to start point.
MARY:
No time for Mary today

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I woke up this morning and hadn’t set any of my stuff out (risk waking my M up), didn’t lock one of my house doors, and realized I left a load of laundry in the washer last night (which until now I’d never done in my life). Two years ago, I would have absolutely let this ruin my day. I could have talked all day about how bad a morning I had, then let it dictate the rest of my day until I had a horrible day. Because of the discipline and lessons learned from F3, I really couldn’t help but laugh at myself and just know that I can fix all of those things in two or three minutes. AND, it will make me stop letting routine things be so routine and I will pay more attention. The point is, don’t let the little things ruin your day or week or even more. Don’t let a bad 5 minutes turn into a bad day.
Lots of prayer requests this morning: Butterfly and his job search and his friends who had someone crash into their house, Carrot’s father diagnosed with cancer, Reverb’s brother (and ours) Church Mouse struggling with mental health issues, The Voice’s mother with her sight and continued health issues. Lets lift our guys up!! Aye!!
