CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There’s been a lot going on in this world lately. A lot of sickness, injuries, and death even in just my very small circle and so much more that impacts other PAX and friends and family not associated with F3. In all of this, I heard a message at one of those recent funerals. The minister was talking about this lady who lived her life Ready. She was ready to go on the next adventure. Ready to tackle challenges and obstacles. Ready to lend a hand. Ready.
So my question to you is: are you ready? Are you ready for today? Tomorrow? Next week? Are you ready for life’s unexpected twists and turns, successes and failures, victories and utter defeats? Are you ready for whatever lies in store for your wife, girlfriend, parents, children? Good or bad?
We men tend to think of ourselves as ready for anything. That’s the Boyscout motto and mentality: Be prepared. But what are you ready for? Is it today or is it eternity? Jesus teaches us not to worry or fret about today or tomorrow, for this world is temporary, fleeting. We need to be ready for Eternity. And more than this, we need to make sure that our families are ready. That our friends are ready. That our neighbors and coworkers and acquaintances are ready. Even the ones we may not really like. Our job is to be ready and get as many others as possible to be ready as well.
So I leave you with this: are you ready?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Picked up the Q Source for some inspiration. The last section in the QS is all about growing an effective Lizard Organization. A couple of key notes are: Effective Organizations are built through Relationships – Not Rules. A Man who is Freed to Lead only needs Purpose to drive him forward. Too many rules are like shackles. Q Source gave the example of how Jesus was the original model of a Lizard Organization. In Matthew you can read about Jesus’ 2 Commandments that he gave. (Paraphrasing) Love the Lord God with all of your Heart, your Soul & Mind. 2nd – Love your neighbor as yourself. Matt 22:34-40

Driving to Coffeeteria I realized that I missed the opportunity to talk about reflection in our organization. AKA our family unit. Are we building our family unit through relationship or through rules? Is our family purpose so big and clear that our M’s & 2.0’s are “Freed to Lead”? Or do we just have rules? The next circle would be our job or place of employment. Although we may not be able to affect change from the top down in our work organizations, we can vow to maximize relationships where we’re at. We can create and grow healthy relationships with our co-workers and team.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

MOLESKIN:
We had a solid showing of PAX this morning. Including our Unicorns Doubtfire & Tank. The PAX were completely ready to be Merkining ourselves silly, while having buckets of rain poured on us. However, it was beautiful, sunny and amazing morning to be outside with some sweaty dudes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Wallball returns!!!

THE SCENE: A nice spring morning, 50’s, not raining, EXCELLENT
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
20 merkins, 20 squats

COUPONS: 5 – 60 # sandbags, 1 – 90# sandbag, 2 lengths of rope or straps

THA-THANG:
Ruck with ALL coupons the long way around to Watt Rd. field.

Segment 1 – AO to first right turn on path.  Start with 20 merkins & 20 sandbag squats at AO; Shoulder carry sandbag to Segment 2 at right turn on Path

Segment 2 – 20 merkins & 20 sandbag squats; Front carry sandbag to segment 3 at corner of bathroom

Segment 3 – 20 merkins & 20 sandbag squats; farmer carry sandbag switching hands as needed to Watt Rd. field

At Watt Rd. Field – Sandbag Toss

Drop all coupons and rucks at the end line and get a battle buddy with 1 – 60# sandbag.

Round 1 – Battle Buddy 1 starts tossing the 60# sandbag down the field.  Battle Buddy 2 – runs a lap around the field (no ruck) when his lap takes him to the coupon pile, do 20 ruck curls then catch up to BB 1 and switch.  BB 2 begins his run at the switch, makes his lap, does his curls and catches up to BB 1.  Continue tossing sandbag the length of the field and back.

Audibled to running half laps of the field cause the tossing went too fast.

Round 2 – Rucks on.  Battle Buddy 1 sandbag tosses down the field.  Battle Buddy 2 does 10 ruck merkins, then bear crawl (ruck on) to catch BB 1.  Battle Buddy 2 starts tossing the sandbag while BB 1 does 10 ruck merkins, then bear crawls to catch up.  Repeat the switching and tossing until you go down the field and back.

If there is an odd # of PAX then the odd man can join a team or he can toss the sandbag 10 times, then do the exercise and continue tossing.

 

DORA’s – get a battle buddy.  Each team needs 2- 60# sandbags and a strap or rope.  Clip the 2 sandbags together and clip a rope to them for a pain train Dora.

BB 1 runs to end of strap, sits down and pulls the sandbags to him.  (think seated rows).  Complete 2 lengths of strap and run back to start and BB 2.

BB 2 completes the exercises until BB 1 returns.  Then they switch positions. Continue until all reps are completed.  No ruck required if running to the sandbags.

Cumulative counting for the exercises.  The exercises are:

  • 100 Lion kings – ruck or sandbag
  • 200 ruck curls
  • 300 ruck swings

If there is an odd # of PAX then the odd man can join a team or he can do the sandbag rope pulls, run back to start and do the exercises and switch when he sees fit.  Cut all reps in half.
