THE SCENE: 73* (I really can’t remember that is a guess, warm and humid and perfect)
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
I started the warm up by telling the story from this past weekend at the 9/11 Memorial in NYC.  I walked up to the north memorial and placed my hand on a name: Abraham Zelmanowitz.  I remembered the name just because of how unusual it is.  Later in the museum, as fate would have it I saw his name again, along with his story.  He refused to evacuate his building because his friend and coworker, Ed Beyea, was a quadriplegic and could not evacuate in the stairs.  He waited with his friend along with an FDNY firefighter for help and perished when the tower collapsed.  This man died before he’d leave a friend behind.

  • SSH
  • Three point squat
  • Shoulder taps from plank
  • Moroccan night clubs

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the Big Ball stairs for 9/11 WOD: Perform 9 reps at bottom, at first landing, and at top for 11 rounds: 9 merkins at bottom, 9 squats at first landing, 9 BBSUs at top.  Repeato x11.  Stop random person from walking away with the key bag and all our stuff.

On the ground, I had written the fallen first responders broken down into their jobs:

  • 8 EMTs
  • 23 NYPD
  • 37 Port Authority
  • 343 FDNY

These people charged into fire and unknown to provide aid to people they’d never met before.  So we are going to honor them with exercises.
EMTs – Eight, 8-count bodybuilders
NYPD – 23 plank jacks
Port Authority – pull ups
FDNY – 343 flutter kicks as a group

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My second person I wanted to honor did not perish on 9/11.  Though that was the day that ultimately determined his fate.  Walter Greene Jr, who was a Connecticut state trooper and Marine Corps veteran, passed away on May 31, 2018 from cancer caused from his involvement in the recovery efforts directly following the 9/11 attacks.  Trooper Greene was a canine handler, and was part of the search and rescue effort.  The search and recovery effort was a 24 hour a day operation that lasted 8 months.
We are losing first responders every day, STILL.  People who disregarded everything in an attempt to save just one person.  We cannot let the heroes of that day fade away.  We must tell their stories and learn of more, and repeat them to people who may not know.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Inertia – a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.  This past Saturday I had a lot to do after the workout, so I intended to rest a bit before I had to go to work.  I decided to re-hang some curtains that were removed to repair my bedroom wall.  Then I was going to rest.  When I finished doing that, my M was doing the dishes so I thought I’d go clean the main bathroom in the house.  Then the other bathroom. Then swept and helped vacuum… before I knew it we had somewhat accidentally cleaned the house.  But because we were in motion, we stayed that way.

This tied in to the Q Source this week after listening to the 43 Feet podcast.  You don’t try to convince a man to buy an F3 shirt, slap a sticker on his car and post 5 times a week right off the bat.  You ask if he wants to come join a workout, one time.  But what you’ve set in motion is the chance for that outcome.  Just make sure you don’t let rest be the state you’re in.  Always have even a small amount of movement towards your physical, relational or spiritual desired state.  And keep it rolling.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Standard: A level of quality or attainment. An idea or thing used to measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.

We have different standards in all that we do and we must meet the standards or the final product is not correct. God created the Earth and all that is in it and it was perfect. The fall of man occurred. The standard set by the creator was no longer met. God loved His Creation so much that he wanted to regain the standard. He sent His only perfect Son, Jesus Christ, who met the standard and IS the standard to correct the broken creation. We could never meet the standard without Jesus. We are viewed by God through His Son and we are seen as correct, clean, and meeting the standard. We are heirs with Christ. He is our elder brother and we need to carry this hope and joy with us and pass it along to those around us. We are sons of the Living God.
