F3 Knoxville

Some Reps and Some Running

THE SCENE: Low 40s with strong wind, so chilly.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

307th day of the year, 58 remaining

SSHs (4 ct) x 30

Little baby arm circles forward (4 ct) x 15

Little baby arm circles backward (4 ct) x 15

Some Michael Phelps and little of this and a little of that

School Zone showed up late, so 5 burpees.

School Zone said that he intentionally missed the SSHs because he figured that we would do 50 of them.  He was probably joking about all or some of that.  Still . . .

SSHs (4 ct) x 70

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the flag pole

100 merkins followed by one lap around the track

100 merkins and 200 LBCs followed by two laps around the track

100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats followed by three laps around the track

That was as far as the rabbits made it before time ran out, so no one made it to 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 squats, and 400 CDDs followed by four laps.  Maybe next time or perhaps an hour-long Saturday workout.

Mosey back to the AO

MARY:
We held plank for the minute or so that we had left.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 HIMs

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I read the lyrics to the song “Fearless” by the Goo Goo Dolls (I did not sing).  I won’t repeat them here, but listen to the song or read the lyrics if you are not familiar.  John Rzeznik has said that the song was inspired by the anxious state of 21st-century America and the fear-mongering media.  It was released in 2019.  The lyrics resonate even more now.  As the song says, we are living in an unfair and scared world, so we need to be fearless and let our light shine.  See 2 Timothy 1:7 (“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.”).

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Blindside’s family with the loss of his uncle and his grandmother’s cancer diagnosis, the Q’s daughter, and the strength to be fearless in the world.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Judge Judy’s Christmas Party

Coats for the Cold

Probably something else that I forgot

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

15 HIMs; 0 FNGs … With the exception of the flag handoff in April, this is the most posting at the Equalizer in recent memory. 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1Pet1:13-16 – So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

This BOM and (most of) the workout was from Jetlag’s first post back in November of 2020. I wanted to honor his time here with us by going back to where F3 started for him. It is appropriate that this passage from 1st Peter was chosen by Stripped for Jetlag’s first posting, and even more appropriate as he returns to the Philippines.
