THE SCENE: A clear brisk morning. Upper 30s?
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
- 25 Side Straddle Hops
- light jog to end of both basketball courts
- Butt kicks to end of one basketball court, high knees back
- Lunges to end of one basketball court, mummy kicks back
THA-THANG:
Had each HIM pair up with another with similar speed. Then separated the pairs into two team for a few sprinting/running competitions. Loser of each competition had to do 16 burpees. The winner did side straddle hops until the other team finished burpees.
- Game 1: Chase or be chased – one member of each team starts running with a baton around both basketball courts and hands off the baton to the next member. The object of the game is to catch the other team. Those not running were to do side straddle hops until their turn.
- Game 2: The building blocks of F3 – Each team had one HIM run to the far end of the basketball courts where there was “F3” built out of 20 Duplos. The object was to return each block, one by one, to the other side and reassemble the “F3”. Teams could do 10 burpees to bring back 2 pieces in one trip.
- Game 3: No man left behind – Took a mosey across the bridge. One HIM from each team ran the distance of 5 light poles are returned to their teams. While the runner was away the rest of the team members had to do one of the following until the runner returned: overhead claps, big boys, squats, merkins. One of the other members then joined the runner and this process was repeated until all members ran the five poles.
MARY:
Cherry pickers, Wind Mills, Overhead claps, Flutter kicks (not Hello Dolly’s), LBCs until time
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
One of our best showings as of late with 10 HIMs! Thanks for coming out and paying some games!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes life feels like our first game where you’re running around in circles either chasing something or being chased by something and sometimes both. Sometimes you just need to slow down, be still, and take a few moments to not take life so seriously. When I was young, I remember asking my parents parents to play hide and go seek with me. I had amazing parents but they rarely did because life is just too busy to stop and play pointless games. I try to remember that as a parent when I don’t feel like there’s time to do anything that seems unproductive but sometimes sitting on the floor playing with your kid or being still and quiet is one of the most productive things you can do! Put your phone down, look up, and turn off the noise. You can use the time to pray and/or give you brain some time to process the millions of things going on in your life.
MOLESKIN:
I guess we will never know if one team threw some of their pieces in the leaves or put them in the other team’s pile of blocks but they won by 4 blocks!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
