All made it through successfully. Upon arriving to the hill, we completed a modified Heartbreak 1,2,3, renamed more appropriately to 808’s and Heartbreak after the Kayne West album

While partner was working, the other would sprint to the top of the hill, complete 10 single count Iron Mikes, and return to switch. Rinse and repeat until everyone completed. Return to the AO.

MARY:
With five minutes remaining, PAX grabbed a CMU for 2 minutes of wall sits, with presses (vertical) and pushes (horizontal) mixed in. After 2 minutes, there was 2 minutes of protractors with crunches mixed in. The final minute was spent back on the wall with presses.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

COVID has been a frustrating season for all of us. F3 is not only a community for fitness, but also a community to push ourselves to be better men and make a difference in our communities. A verse on my heart recently is Ephesians 4:31-32:

‘Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted and forgiving each other, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you’

MOLESKIN:
We welcomed a new member to the F3 family: Pinocchio’s son Grant was born Friday! Wife and baby are doing well.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are often overwhelmed with the feeling that we need to “win” in life but are repeatedly frustrated with things out of our control (like pandemics and hurricanes).  A verse from one of my favorite songs at church reminds me of the truth: “The Lamb has overcome, the Lamb has overcome. The battle is done and the victory is won. The Lamb has overcome.” Christ has already won the battle for us. He has won the ultimate victory against our ultimate enemy (sin and death)! We are called to trust him and be faithful, not victorious.

Keep your spokes tight or always be tightening them
MOLESKIN:
Laird Hamilton speaks about keeping your spokes tight like a bicycle wheel. If one is not tight the wheel gets out of balance. I have some loose spokes I need to tighten . One of those is looking to Jesus more , faith etc… no matter what spoke is loose on your wheel , keep working on it until it’s tight . We will always have loose spokes but keep working on it ! Life is a game of maintaining balance
