“A key to success is playing the hand you were dealt like it was the hand you wanted.” -Inky Johnson.

MOLESKIN:
Mumble chatter was high today even throughout the burpees. PAX pushed hard and kept YHC motivated to push to the end.  Success was had throughout the workout with the only audible being the 300 V-Ups.  I believe we hit about 1/3 of those.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Pray for Lady Junk – continued chemo treatment but prognosis is looking good.

  • SSH IC x 20

THA-THANG:
I lost a bet to Mayberry and the wager was a $5 box from Taco Bell. So I thought it would be fun to work off those calories as a PAX. After extensive research on how many calories we really burn during exercise – it’s not that many. So we had to partner up to burn those total calories. A $5 box includes two Tacos and a Cheddar Cheese Chalupa.

  • 1st Taco – 170 calories
  • Dora 1, 2, 3 across the short side of the hockey rink
  • Toasted Cheddar Chalupa – 450 calories
  • 20 Burpees – run a lap around the track
  • Rinse and Repeat x3
  • 2nd Taco – Tabata Taco
  • 20 second Air Squat
  • 10 second rest
  • 45 second CMU Swing
  • 10 second rest
  • 20 second Merlin
  • 10 second rest
  • 45 second Thrusters
  • Rinse and repeat x 3
  • While listening to Kenny’s Greatest Hits!

Today we read some excerpts from the Q Source about our choice to take the Daily Red Pill and commit to being a Pro! Then asked ourselves – what would it look like if I were completely sold out for F3?

DRP (Q1.1)

MOLESKIN:

I had to bust out my Jocko voice to get the men moving, apparently I was struggling with giving good direction today. Wagon Wheel brought the FNG “ExciteBike”, Aladdin said he was invigorated and nobody wanted to eat Tacos today… It is strange that we had a Taco Bell themed workout and Swirlie was nowhere to be seen. Hope he’s okay.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Brolympics II – order a shirt if you want one

Prayers for families and friends going through struggles and illnesses.

Super Saturday

THE SCENE: Freaking gorgeous and 66 degrees
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Smurf Jack/SSH/Star Jack intervals followed by 5 OYO burpees

Indian Run to the playground

THA-THANG:

Super 21s from the playground to the parking lot. Pax could choose between pull-ups, dips, derkins, or squats on one side and Merkins, v-ups, Freddie Mercury, or LBCs on the other side. PAX were instructed to move between stations any way other than running or walking. Bear crawls, high knees, Bernie Sanders, etc. were used to mix it up.

After 30 minutes of fun we moved on to Wham-O lunges and then returned for a second set of Super 21s. This time we ran between stations.

MARY:
We ca$hed out with ATMs and 20 box cutters.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Romans 8:25 “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”  While I’m going through a struggle at work and hoping for a positive outcome it is hard to be patient.  But what I should be, and what this situation has reminded me of, is to hope in Jesus for His outcome for me, and to try and be patient.  In this crazy instant world we live in that seems to be the struggle, wanting what we want when we want it and then we don’t wait patiently at all.  We want instant gratification.  But He gives us patience to wait and hope to eventually see Him.  And how much sweeter are the things that we actually wait a long time to get?

Read a passage from 1 Timothy 6.  Basic take home point is to keep your focus on Christ and to let him be your motivation.  Don’t be lured by money, success or wordly pleasure…rather let Christ be your goal.

MOLESKIN:
I had originally planned to do this workout on Baby Everest which would have been a lot harder, but there was a skunk running around in the parking lot by that hill so I decided to audible.   Saved by the skunk!!
