Just one of those days where you don’t want to be or do. I was on Q of course but yesterday and today was just one of those days that I struggled to wake up and post at F3. But, the big BUTT! I could have stayed in my bed aka comfort zone but told myself that these are the times you need to suck it up and BE and DO!
MOLESKIN

i Figured we might have 6-8 guys….maybe that was me not feeling it and thought the rest of the guys would not be feeling it and not show up. I was DEAD WRONG! So glad I sucked it up and was there this morning! Not only did we have 6 guys Rucking but we had 14 men total for the F3 workout . So greatful for you guys and to know that you guys were there to embrace the suck with me!

Sometimes, it’s ok to not want to do or be but those are the times to really challenge yourself . AYE!

Ring Around The Mosey

THE SCENE: Nice and Warm in the Upper 40s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

Cherry Pickers x 10 IC

Frankenstein Walk through parking lot

Walking Quad Stretch through parking lot

Walking side to side groin stretch through parking lot

THA-THANG:
We began with a mosey through the park.  We made sure to stay at a pace where everyone could stay relatively close together.

Stop 1 was at the Fountain and we did 10 Burpees OYO and held Al Gore until 6 up.

Continue the Mosey up the hill.

Stop 2 was at the top of the big hill at the back of the park and we did 20 merkins and 20 squats OYO.  Held Al Gore until 6 up.

Continue Mosey back down to Mt. Crumpet, which just so happened to be our 3rd stop.

At Mt. Crumpet, we did 5 ascents up the hill.

  • Ascent 1 was a bear crawl
  • Ascent 2 was a sprint
  • Ascent 3 was a bear crawl
  • Ascent 4 was a sprint
  • Ascent 5 was a bear crawl

Burpees OYO until 6 up.  Continued our ring around the mosey all the way around the park to the base of the hill that climbs to the grinder.  This was Stop #4.

We circled up and did a burpee circle of pain.  The circle held an Al Gore and we took turns doing a burpee until we reach 52 burpees, which was 4 rounds.  We sprinted the hill to the grinder and back.

Circle of pain merkins for same number as the burpees followed by a sprint to the burpees.

At this point, we had 7 minutes before I wanted to start Mary, so we just cashed out the beat down portion by doing an AMRAP of 5 Pull-Ups, 10 Merkins, 15 Squats.

Flutter Kicks x 30 IC

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In Romans 12, the Bible tells us to strip off every weight that so easily entangles us and run with endurance.  That really gets me thinking about Jesus telling his disciples that they and we would face trials and tribulations, but to take heart because he overcame the world.

A lot of times, we get caught wanting life to be a nice, easy mosey through to the end, but that will NEVER be the case.  We serve a very real God, but we also fight a very real enemy who seeks to destroy us and our families.  Life is going to be hard and it will throw curve balls at you.  How you respond to the difficult times and the mentality with which you attack those difficult times can and will make or break you.

Jesus telling his disciples to take heart in today’s terms is him telling his disciples to keep a positive mindset.  Don’t ever let negativity creep in or come out of your mouth because it is like a cancer that will infect those around you as well.  I apologized to the group for any times that I let negativity come out of my mouth during beat downs and vowed to try not to do that anymore.  It may suck, but we are fighting and winning the battle to be our best self.

Run the race of life with endurance and always keep a positive mindset.

Mathew 18:21-35 – The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Forgiveness)

You gotta love Peter’s confidence here. How many times, Lord, should I forgive these people?   [Go ahead and open your bibles, read the passage.  Do it.]

The parable culminates with Jesus’ description of how our Father in Heaven will treat us if we continue the path of un-forgiveness. Did you catch it in verse 34?  Jesus equates un-forgiveness with jail.  That’s exactly what un-forgiveness will do to you.  You will be locked away behind anger, resentment, jealousy, pride, and selfishness.  Ironically, the offending party goes free.  The best part of this is…   You have the key to the prison.  It’s not easy, but it’s the only way out.  Start small, ask God for help.  As you kneel, ask God to forgive you for your offenses.   Lord, thank You that each day we have from You is a gift, another chance for a fresh start. Forgive us, Lord.  Help us to forgive, and to let go of the past.  Please help us to see Your strength through our weaknesses today, and then again tomorrow, and every day after.  I Jesus’ Name, amen.

Also, remember Jesus’ answer to Peter’s question.  “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

Oh Well Part 1 is a song recorded in 1969 by Fleetwood Mac before the group had Christie MacVie, Lindsay Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks in the group. Written and sung by then lead guitarist Peter Green, the second verse is:

Now when I talk to God, I knew He’d understand; He said, “Stand next to me and I’ll be your guiding hand.  But don’t ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.  Oh Well.

I don’t need to ask God that question because I know the answer.  He created me, pursued me in my sinful nature, and loved me enough to send His Son to live among us.  His Son loved me enough to bear the burden of my sin, to face rejection by the Father, and to die for me.  His Spirit is willing to live within me in spite of my sinfulness and filthy rags and loves me enough to lead me in my ongoing road to sanctification.  All Christians have that same love and assurance.  Just like we try to headlock other men and get them to join F3, we ought to headlock everyone with the good news of the Gospel
