Simple out and back ruck with 12 of us.
Tailhook had a solo workout going
Skidmark was doing IPC Week 2 on his own
Runners knocking out a 10k were Erector, Shrubbery, Nadia, Anchorman, & Honeydo

The COT was short and sweet. A verse from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (NIV) Or translated another way, Happy are people who are humble, because they will inherit the earth. (CEB)

All that to say, this is a behavior of Jesus, and modeling his role should be a goal for all of us.

COT: Don’t be afraid to own up to your weaknesses. One of mine is prayer. I have been pondering Job this week, and how even in his anger, he was prayerful and God was pleased with him because he prayed. I know that my prayer life can improve, and that I need to be willing to “talk” to God more. Where are your weaknesses, where can you improve? Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable with this group and seek improvement. Also, when addressing a weakness, start by looking in the mirror, don’t start by blaming others.

The Impossible Mile

Shamrock 7/14/2023
See picture above
THE SCENE: 80 degrees at 0530 with humidity around 96%, some would call it terrible
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
3 very slow cherry pickers
SSH to around 15
THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.

MARY:
The Mary was very popular today.
10 snow angels in cadence followed by 10 merkins
20 Flutters in cadence followed by 10 merkins
13 Shoulder taps in cadence followed by 10 merkins
finally 7 more burpees
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today we talked about the Golden rule and simply treating others the way that we want to be treated.  Especially making a hard workout for those trying to steal the Ghost Flag because I expect a hard workout if I want to steal it back!!

Shamrock Gymstacle

THE SCENE: Beautiful summer morning! Low 60’s. Perfect!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Yes
WARM-O-RAMA: 
Yoga style! Deep arm stretch, runners pose, downward dog, cobra etc..
THA-THANG:
Shamrock “gymstacle” – a hybrid of a gym and an obstacle course. The soundtrack for the beat down has a “wild artist” (same principle as a wild card). Every song of a “wild artist” doubles the amount of reps for everyone! Today’s “wild artist” – Justin Bieber!  The workout: 30 twinkle toes with CMU’s; Pull ups; Merkins, American Hammers with a heavy ball; Jumping rope; Bench press; Heavy pants; Truck climb; Hand-Elbow plank; Side jumps; Lawnmowers with 60lbs dumbbell; Dumbbell squats. Repeat!

MARY:
No time
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 men! Anchorman, Base Salary, Betty, Le Bling, Mermaid, Oscar Meyer, Rubber Duckie, Skid Mark, Slappy, Voo Doo, Tailhook and a FNG – Jar Jar!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For most of us helping others is a natural tendency. However, there are situations when it is better to let someone finish his or her task without interfering by offering help. Because it might be important for this person to complete his or her task without any assistance.
