Wow! Who knew that when I posted on Facebook about needing to get in shape in early January that one of the comments by a high school classmate I now know as Roscoe would totally alter my lifestyle. F3 is my new addiction. I’ve managed to bring along 6 FNG’s so far and now I am leading the workout on a cool spring morning at Mt Hollywood!

The WarmUp

Grass Pickers x 11 IC

IW x 11 IC

SSH x 11 IC with a hitch … you had to be there!

The Thang

We took a WarmUp lap around the Parking Lot and moseyed to the Bus Lot at Ida Rankin for Dora 1-2-3 where we partnered up for; 100 Merkins … 200 LBC’s… and 300 Plank Jacks.

Time to Mosey … to the Mouthpiece Store for some Triple Nickels with Big Boys at the Bottom of the hill and Diamond Merkins at the top.

Feels like a good time to Mosey … to Veterans Park for the Pledge!

At this point … there is only way back to MHMS and it’s all uphill! I decided the best way to eat an elephant was one bite at a time … so we stopped at each plateau of the hill for an exercise or three.

11 Mountain Climbers at the intersection, 11 MCs and 11 Wide Arm Merkins at Crest Street; and 11 MCs, 11 Wide Arm Merkins and 11 Burpees at Burge Memorial.

Catch your breath and let’s mosey back to MHMS for a little bit of Mary … 11 American Hammers with Broke, 11 Flutter Kicks with Orangeman and 11 Dying Cockroaches with Anchorman.

Time!

2 Timothy 4:7, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith!

Def Leppard challenged us last week at Mt Hollywood to take control of this quarter of the year. After the challenge, I decided that the word “FINISH” would drive me through the remainder of the calendar year.

Coming out of the Easter weekend, the greatest example of that word is Jesus Christ on the cross when he uttered the words, “It is Finished.” Fulfilling all He had come  from Heaven to Earth to accomplish.

I challenged the men today to be men who finish! I challenged them to remain faithful to the end!

Jesus hand picked 12 disciples and only 11 remained faithful to the end … let the 11 reps of the day remind us to be men who are “faithful to the finish!”

What an honor to lead this morning. On January 7th of this year, I struggled through my first workout led by Buckeye where I was named “Doodles” … and now on my 45th workout, I’ve got the Q! I woke up at least 15 times last night just to make sure I did not oversleep and miss this opportunity. Thanks to f3gastonia for the push to be better always in all ways!
