CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“we are what they grow beyond, that is the true version of all masters”  – yoda

I not only spent some time with my 2.0 prepping for the 2.0 workout this weekend, but I also spent time watching Star Wars on Netflix.  This quote from Yoda really hit me because if we replace “masters” with “fathers” then that should be our goal.  That our 2.0s grow to be better people than we are.  That they grow to love one another, love God, and do more to make this rock a better place to live.  Our goal as fathers is to teach them the ways to do that and to eventually equip them to be strong enough to go out into this world and make it a better place.  I encourage you to go home, teach your kids how to be strong, how to love God, how to love others, and how to prep them for taking over the world.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

This took awhile as we had multiple Friendly New Kids (FNK) to name, but it was fun.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“greatest teacher failure is” – Yoda

I was watching Star Wars and Yoda told Luke Skywalker this quote.  It means that when we try something we may fail, but we learn from those failures, and we get back up and try again.  What did we learn if we fail?  We learn not to do it that way.  What if we learn if we don’t try?  Nothing, and again we have failed.  I encourage each of you to go out and fail, learn from it, and do it again.

2.0s in attendance were Charger, Fierce, Herminey, Leah, Chicken Nugget, Tumbler, Danger, Camelback, Jump Shot, Yoda, Champ, Warrior, Speed Demon, Brotherman, Stryker, and Haley.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of thunder but the 2.0s powered through and were super pumped to participate and get named.

I also have a confession to make, I dropped the ball and 2.0 workouts got put on the back burner for far too long.  I feel bad and I promise not to let it happen again.

 

It’s all fun and games till someone pulls a muscle

THE SCENE: The Truck Stop, 70degrees and moist but no rain
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the field for some merican building zig zags

Burpee tag, one person is the burpee master. If you get touched by them you have to do 10 burpees and then join them in catching the others till all are caught. ( This is where I pull my calf again.)

Mosey to the playground for some doracides. One partner stays and does exercises while other runs down parking lot in suicide manner touching line, back to start, next line etc for 6 lines. Pair must do 50 pull-ups, 100 mericans, 300 squats

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God forgives sin and wipes it from his memory when you believe in him and his redemption of our sins and ask for forgiveness. Stop dwelling on previous sins and know you have been forgivin and move forward.
MOLESKIN:
I had to break one of the unwritten rules of F3….”if you can’t do it don’t Q it.” I pulled the calf BUT I already had the WO planned and although I could not complete the exercise, I didn’t want to deprive the pax of a good wo on my part. So….I proceeded.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This AO time is usually a light ruck themed AO, but since no one was listed on the Q I assumed most of the regular attenders (Frosty, Butters, Wallball) were out of town.  I signed up to Q because I know some of the guys in attendance this morning are in the home stretch of completing the “Super Ocho” (or event to be named later) where they post at each of our Knoxville AOs.  I didn’t want to leave them hanging if the normal crew was MIA.  I think this is a great challenge to get out to every AO and see the options Knoxville has to offer.

My apologies to Butters and WallBall since I made them leave their backpacks in the car, but maybe next time they will sign up to Q…

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

This months AO vs AO challenge is distance.  So log those miles.  Also anyone can join at anytime.

Tank is leading a kickball tournament on 8-18-18

Truckin to the Pound is currently being planned for late summer early fall.
