THE THANG:
Carry a block to the first speed bump. Do 5 exercises, rifle carry to the next speed bump, run to the end of the road and back, then do exercises again. Repeat until the end. First bump is 10 reps each. Each successive speed bump the rep count goes up by 10.

Form 2 teams. Shuttle run to steal a tennis ball from the other team’s box and drop it in your team’s box. Repeat until Snaggletooth had enough and just blew the whole thing up.

Return the blocks. RTF.

MARY:
Plank. Each man tries to guess if the next card in a deck will be red or black. If he is right, we stay in high plank. If he is wrong, we switch to low plank (or one arm up, etc.) until a man guesses correctly – then back to high plank.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CONVERGENCE Jan 20th.
Upcoming Shamrock 2nd F opportunities.

COT:
Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional. Any growth that you want to experience this year – in your fitness, fellowship, faith, leadership, etc. – will NOT happen by accident. Let’s be intentional. The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan. James Clear says, goals don’t determine success. Systems determine success. Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.
Here’s a template for building a system.
1. Have a super clear description of what success will look like.
2. Develop your plan: What and when, and how. Pro tip: make changes small, obvious, and automatic.
3. Eliminate distractions (that includes good things that keep you from great things).
4. Obsess about the process, not about the results. Committing to the process is what makes the difference.

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5

Mental health is a big deal! We are all working on our physical bodies and need to keep the mind healthy as well. I had a good friend die by suicide last year. If you are having issues or problems get help! Grab a friend or counselor and get help! Also with new years comes resolutions don’t try to change everything keep reiterating your self a small change over. Long time will do much more than a large unsustainable change.

COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.

Don’t be afraid to pray for the things you desire. It may not come to fruition, but you should take it to prayer just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36-46
