“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” – Coach John Wooden

A good life is built one block at a time.  It takes effort and intentionality.  HIMs understand that their lives are not their own, that they get better in order to give more to those the love and live with.  Coach Wooden’s definition of success is appropriate for every area of life…physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Each F3 workout is a microcosm of life.  Take what you learned this morning, keep pushing and give it away!

MOLESKIN
The PAX pushed hard this morning!  It is an incredible experience to line up each morning with men who are ready to reach past their limits to get better and make sure their brothers are doing the same.  Prayer time at the end was especially good.  Praying for needs and hearing praise reports was inspiring for YHC.  Can’t wait to get back out there and do it again!

How can we help those around us? The people we know, that we don’t know, our families, people we see every day, people we’ve met for the first time: how can we lift them up? Well, just keep it simple, stupid and get back to the basics: encourage one another. Encourage in their struggles, in their strengths, hardships, celebrations. Something as small as “you’re doing a great job, keep it up” can make all the difference in someone’s day.

Support scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11; Hebrews 3:12,13

MOLESKIN
The 12 PAX brought plenty of chatter with them to start off their Friday morning. Encouragement throughout the workout was present and very needed as we all struggled thinking of a total of 275 BBS at the end! Welcome Snowden! Looks like rain later in the day, glad we beat it and got better together.

Mosey across Worlds Fair Park and over to the Locust Street Garage (aka The Deathstar).

The Deathstar
PAX were instructed to begin with 10 merkins, climb six flights of stairs to the top of the garage and do 6 burpees- then run back to the first floor via the descending parking deck.  10 more merkins at the bottom, 5 flights of stairs, and 5 burpees.

Rinse and repeat until all PAX had completed all levels of the garage.

Lunges Down Locust
After completing the Deathstar, the PAX did lunges on Locust Street for an entire city block, from Clinch Avenue to Union Street.  Burn baby, burn!

Circle of Pain
The PAX moseyed back to the Sun-sphere for a little COP:
Mountain Climbers                               ICx20
Merkins                                                 ICx10
Carolina Dry Docks                              ICx20

Sprints
The PAX moseyed over to the grassy field near the fountains.  From there, the men engaged in an all-out, 100 yard sprint back to the fountains.  Heart rate buster!

At the fountains, the PAX did one set of incline merkins OYOx15.

We are all faced with difficult decisions each day.  Decisions at work, at home and in our community roles.  P-nut told of a mentor that advised him long ago to “look at your daily tasks and decide which item was the toughest/most difficult task you would face that day…and then to do that one first.”  The idea is to tackle your biggest obstacles first- and you’ll feel better/perform better the rest of the day.

MOLESKIN
Incredible energy and mumblechatter from the PAX.  The Deathstar was fun and full of suck, but worth visiting again (SOON).
