Mosey down the road to the Elementary School/Little League park (wagon wheel and a stop for 30x BBS OYO halfway)
Pax split into 2 teams, each team with an Easter basket (5 gallon bucket w/25lb sand).
Easter eggs are hidden on the playground.
One PAX from each team carries the basket down the hill and collects one egg. Then bunny-hop back up the hill and hand off to next man.
Remaining PAX alternate between plank and Al Gore with each trip.

Once everyone has run twice, gather in the middle of the basketball court.

Just make one run through the list.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
15 PAX including one FNG. Or FOG… Turned 73 yesterday! Welcome Dozer! Thanks for being our War Daddy today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The silliness of bunnies, eggs, candy, etc. is fun, but try to get as much of it out of the way as possible today and reserve tomorrow to celebrate and meditate on the real reason for Easter – Remembering the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ from the grave, sealing the long promised gift of Salvation. It’s even more free than F3 – He did everything for you.
MOLESKIN:
Great to have Moses’ dad with us this morning.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hardship Hill is May 19th… Sign up today! If you need a team, jump on GroupMe and you’ll get recruited real quick.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Push yourself in F3 to not only get stronger, faster and better out there but in all life. There have been studies that working out makes the mind sharper. Also reports that those that start their days early are more productive. I find when I push myself out here I smile more I feel more energetic throughout the day and I perform better in daily life just taking the groceries in or digging a hole in the back yard. Push through the temporary discomfort to grow and see what you are really capable of.

BOM
F3 has always been and will always be more than a workout.  We definitely want to push ourselves and each other physically, but we also want to grow relationally and spiritually.  The PAX is unique in many ways, one being that we are not out here to compete against each other, but collaborate together to grow as husbands, fathers, sons, employees, employers, friends, and neighbors.  We are bound together under a high power for a greater purpose.

MOLESKIN
Alcoa will never be the same.  The PAX came hungry, focused and ready for to push hard and get better…together!  The Bomb Shelter is a incredible AO that will be keeping the HIMs of Alcoa/Maryville busy for a long time.  It was a honor to lead and be a part of this PAX.  I have a feeling we are going to see some good things from these men.
