CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Paraphrased C.S. Lewis- I want to live my life such that when I die, ALL of hell rejoices knowing that I’m out of the fight.  To be fighters, we not only have to be physically ready, but mentally as well.  I carried a rucksack through the beatdown to represent the burdens that we bear.  1 Peter 5 says “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, CASTING ALL YOUR ANXIETIES ON HIM because he cares for you.”  As men, we tend to treat this action like fishing, and we cast our anxieties, burdens, and worries on God, only to reel them back in like a crank-bait.  We have to find a way to cut the line, and that can only be done through teamwork.  Use your support structure, use the team that has been created for you, not only at home, but within the brotherhood of F3.  The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.  We have to fight as a team, dropping our excess burdens in preparation for the fight.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Tomorrow is the deadline for the pre-order on Bro-lympics shirts, we need 2 more to complete it so that they’ll print them!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
convergence this weekend!!!

Week 2 workout, this time during the real week 2, and an audible

THE SCENE: Definitely cold enough
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
The standard 1.5 mile jog to the HVA track.
THA-THANG:
Welcome to week 2. For those unfamiliar, we’re in an 18-week training program leading up to the Knoxville Marathon.

The plan (same as last week, this time it’s actually during week 2):

  • 1.5 mile warmup
  • 12 x 400m @5k-10k pace with 400m jog rest
  • 1.5 mile cool down

The audible: 200m jog rest between, not 400m (who needs that much jogging anyway?), AMRAP until 0600 then head back to the AO. More reps, less rest. I made it to 11 400m reps, just over 7 miles total.

It was small but dedicated crew on the track today. Spotter was taking it easy (ish) in preparation for a half marathon this weekend, while Hydro, Alter Boy, and myself were cranking ’em out.

MARY:
Made it back just in time for a few one-armed Merkins with Fast’n Easy.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Wishing all the best to Erector in his full marathon Saturday (and Spotter in the half), and safe return for Archie from his boondoggle (I mean business trip) out of the country.
