COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke about being purposeful and intentional with our time.  Told a story about my daughter throwing a lacrosse ball against the house.  I went out to tell her to stop and a bit later realized the reason she was throwing the ball against the house is because she was playing by herself.  I grabbed a stick and went out to throw with her, but it reminded me of how often I miss the small opportunities to spend time with people I love because I’m distracted.  Put it down.  Walk away.  Spend the time.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We have to convince ourselves to do Hard Things.  Our brain takes up 20-25% of the energy we use.  It is wired to save mental energy by directing our focus to existing ideas instead of exploring new ones, to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable.  How do we convince ourselves to do the Hard Things?  Attitude, intentionally challenging ourselves, and find others to help and support us (like F3 brothers!).  Remember, “count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” James 1:2,3
MOLESKIN:
Prayers lifting up the folks of Western KY and elsewhere impacted by the tornadoes.

Proverbs 16:24

Remember that God has a plan for us.  We can’t do it on our own.  Give things to him and watch our tongue and how we handle what life throws at us.

Bumps and blocks

THE SCENE: Clear skies, 37 degrees, perfect for a beat down
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER : 

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, high knees and butt kickers.  Did some plank poses, downward dog and 10 tempo Merkins.  Then did some Tie Fighters and was ready to roll out of the AO, but then the originator of the Tie Fighter lived up to his name and exited the scene for a few minutes.  Out of deference to Code Brown, we hung around awhile and did some Rocky Balboas, Super Marios and bear crawl 360 at the AO. Then we headed out.
THA-THANG:

  • Bump your partner – Partner up with one CMU.  Make your way up the tail of the dragon to the Coliseum.  One partner goes ahead with the block and the other does 5 burpees or 10 merkins then runs to catch partner, take the CMU and go ahead while the other partner does 5 burpees or 10 merkins and so on until you both reach the Coliseum.
  • One partner does AMRAP CMU exercises while the other partner completes a lap around the oval in front of the Admin building. Thrusters, Wood Choppers, Block Swings, Up and Over Merkins, Lying Lat Raise, Alternating Lunges, Curl/Press.  There were others planned but we ran out of time.
  • Bump your partner back to the AO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus didn’t wait for us to do this or do that before he sacrificed himself for us.  Let’s not wait for others to do this or do that before we reach out to them, forgive, help out, serve. Take the initiative.  While we were yet sinners, He died for us.
MOLESKIN:
That was a pretty exhausting workout.  Shoutout to @Woodshack for teaching me the cmu bump a few years ago.  A great way to move a cmu!
