CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Shared scripture that QIC has been meditating on recently in pursuit of “cleaning up my act” by living more intentional in my spiritual life, my emotional/social life, with respect to my physical health, and my financial health. Shared Psalm 127:1 and spoke about the importance of recognizing the Lord must build our “house” or we labor in vain; Reminder we each have various “houses” that we are building – our home life (house), work life (house), church life (house), and private/secret life (house).  Important to inspect these houses and be sure the Lord is the master builder and foundation.

The Thang: Irken Dirken Biscuit

Go tour the campus and for every incline do 10 Dips, 10 Dirkens, and 10 Irkens.
The inclines are small hills, benches, and stairs. There were also a few side tracks we took.

The first side track/warmup was a Mtn Climber + Lizard stair climb.

  1. Bear crawl up right beside the stairs
  2. Lizard crawl down the stairs = Stagger Merkins as you progress down the stairs crawling
  3. Lizard crawl UP the stairs = Stagger Merkins as you progress UP the stairs
  4. Reverse bear crawl down right beside the stairs

The second side track was a bear crawl stair loop with 10 Dirkens and 10 Irkens at the stairs.

The third side track was 10 Hill climbs and 10 Dirkens and 10 Irkens after the 10 hill climbs.

Then progressed to the Six picnic tables . For each picnic table do 10 Dips, 10 Dirkens and 10 Irkens.

Then mosey to pull up bar. Al Gore hold while your brothers take turns doing three reps of MAX # of Pull ups.

Almost out of time. Mosey around the campus and do 10 Dips, on the benches and marvel at the infinite workout possibilities on campus.

MARY:

No time for Mary

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Drive a Steak – Read out of Joshua 22 – Acknowledging there is ONLY one God, The Rubenites erected a controversial Alter to honor God. At first it was mis-understood, but then when explained, it brought Glory to God and was accepted. What steaks in the ground are you driving to educate your kids and future generations about what it means to be a Christian. This Catholic school invested heavily (driving a steak for future generations) in the combination of permanent “monuments” in which to teach future generations about Jesus. We are very grateful to have the privilege to be able exercise on this Holy ground and potentially call it the home of a new F3 AO.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Welcome two FNG’s – Chicken Wing (Sam) and Hoopti (Kyle). Please tell your friends about this new locations. Let’s make it a permanent addition to the flourishing F3 Knoxville group.

Laissez les bons temps rouler

THE SCENE: Misting, mid 40s, with an overcast QIC
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20 or so (waiting on you Cosmo!); 5 burpees OYO, run 2 laps around AO parking lot to let QIC figure out what we’re going to do. End at the CMU pile because, well CMUesday.
THA-THANG:
While listening to some New Orleans Mardi Gras inspired music, we’re gonna have a parade.  Everybody has to contribute a float to the parade.  Whenever you hear Louis Armstrong’s “Hello Dolly,”  stop what you’re doing, hit your 6 and do Hello Dollies for the length of the song.

  • First float by Swimmies and Crablegs:  Doras with your battle buddy. Grab a CMU and do a certain amount of curls, overhead presses, rows, goblet squats (I can’t really remember how many.  Maybe 100 total each?), while your partner runs to the other side of parking lot and back John Cusack style (CMU held over your head the whole time).  Shoulders are appropriately burning at this point.
  • Next float sponsored by Gibbler and Baby Boomer?  Head to the Pav-a-lon with CMU for 7s CMU Merkins and leg thrusts (on CMU). Wall sit with your CMU while waiting on the 6.
  • So, the third float was maybe Rainbow or Hot Tub’s?:  More Doras.  One partner runs a lap around building with CMU while the other one does kettle bell swings.  4 laps for each partner.
  • Next float:  Hands comes down St. Charles with a bunch of shoulder shrugs. and CMU arm raises.  Shoulders now feel like they’re going to simply let go of the arms and let them fall off.
  • Next float:  Code Brown’s float made of rocks.  Grab two rocks from next to the building for two rounds of Tie Fighters (BAC while in lunge position- forward and back); then overhead claps.  At this point, shoulders go from painful to just numb.
  • Next float:  Snitch brings it home with 11s- Box Jumps and dips (more shoulders!!)
  • That’s the end of the float, so we return CMUs and circle up.

MARY:
No Mary, but Satchmo did serenade us with “Hello Dolly” twice during the workout, so we got 2 doses.  And I was wrong about the time.  The song lasted 2:24, so that’s a total of 4:48 of straight Hello Dollies.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lent is upon us.  Don’t just pick something to give up that is “bad” for us.  Let’s pick something that is a true sacrifice.  When we feel its absence, search for the presence of God.  There’s nothing we can’t replace with God’s love and presence.
