1 Peter 3:15 be prepared to give a defense for the hope within you, but do so in gentleness and respect.
Our first tendency is to repay evil for evil, but we have to take time to prepare ourselves to not react that way. Seek wisdom in the Word, in works of wisdom, and in people who are wise, and train yourself to act and react differently.

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

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

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.

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.

Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

We all need to think before we speak.

As Hammy put it: Better to be silent and let them think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

We all have our bad days, but at the end of the day we get to come home to our families and friends and sleep in our beds. We have men and women fighting for us overseas right now who don’t get that same privilege. They’re mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters who don’t know what the next day holds for them. Comfort is not a thing they get to experience. Some are missing the births of their children, deaths in the family, and other important moments so that they can serve our country. Some don’t ever return home at all. Be thankful that our lives as civilians are protected by them. Remember what some others are going through when you’ve had a rough day at work. Next time you see a solider in uniform, thank them for all they have done for us and make us proud to be Americans.
