THA-THANG:

Halloween special.  PAX got to choose either a Trick or a Treat at each location.   Exercise performed depended on what the PAX chose.  I have to give credit where it’s due, the whole “Trick or Treat” thing was fun but it wasn’t an original idea.  I borrowed it from P-Nut, who did this for last year’s Halloween workout!  Good ideas are worth repeating, thanks P-Nut!

  1.  AO Parking lot
    • Frankenstein lunges to the speed bump & back
    • Creepy Crawlers to speed bump & back
    • Trick or Treat #1:  Shock & Awe Thruster Merkins (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
  2. Mosey to steep hill by the boats
    • Trick or Treat #2:  7’s on the Hill.   Burpees at the top / Squat Jumps at bottom
  3. Mosey to Matterhorn
    • Trick or Treat #3:  Suicides up the hill
      • Round 1:  Broad jump up & bear crawl down
      • Round 2:  Bernie Sanders up & bear crawl down
      • After 2 rounds complete Bernie Sanders all the way up & complete 10 Merkins and 3 Burpees OYO

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
BOM was more of a public service announcement:  today is Halloween which means kids will be Trick or Treating tonight.  Please be safe and drive slow as it gets dark this evening.  Watch out for little kids walking around neighborhoods and remember to check your kids’ candy before giving it to them.

MOLESKIN:
Great to see Tank back in action after several weeks on the sideline.   Welcome back brother!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  1. Saturday’s 2 year F3 Knoxville anniversary has been moved to First Baptist Concord gym due to weather.  This will mean less opportunity to cook-out so remember to bring a dish.   Also, remember to vote for the F3 awards – Tank will be posting something on GroupMe for those who haven’t voted.
  2. Saturday will be a Convergence workout at the Asylum at 7:00 to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of F3 in Knoxville.   Cap’n Crunch and Ratchet will be leading so bring your heart rate monitors!  On 2nd thought, you may just want to leave the HR monitors at home….with those two on Q you’ll probably be scared of the numbers you see.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discipline. Discipline may be your best friend if you can incorporate into your character. Discipline is about doing. Thinking of course is important, but until action is taken, nothing will get done. Personally, I am trying to wake up at 4:30 a.m. every morning, whether or not I am working out. Additionally, I am trying to work ahead of my classes, even if there are no assignments due or open. In the words of Jocko Willink “Do.” If you want to read more about discipline, check out Jocko Willink’s book “Discipline is Freedom” You can also listen to it on iTunes.
MOLESKIN:
I LOVE getting out there with you lads. Even if I am miserable. Let us charge headlong into the winter!! Additionally, let’s keep praying for Proton and his family. Bless up!
