Bootcamp moseyed to the back of the library.  Dora 1,2,3  100 CDD’s, 200 LBC’s, 300 Flutters:

Mosey to front of FPC circle for Merkinfest:

20 merkins, run the circle, 19 merkins, run the circle…..1 merkin run the circle.  200 plus merkins and one mile.  Mia left us to go to work.  It was great having him.  He lives between F3Shelby and F3Gashouse and hopefully he will come see us more frequently!  He is teaching kids and adults trades which is such a needed commodity these days.  Great to meet you!

Mosey to side of church for partner laps.  P1 sprints around 4 parking islands and returns, tags P2, then 3 parking islands, then 2, then 1 as the pace increased each time with less recovery.  5 burpees at the beginning and then end.

Mosey back to start for a few minutes of Mary and COT with PainLabbers.  (3.15 miles)

My message today was on the power of “no”.  I had seen something about that statement and assumed it was when you have a tendency to say yes to everything.  By saying no you regain control and hopefully don’t commit to things that aren’t in your wheelhouse.  However, what I learned was the power of no can be when someone tells you you can’t do something that you can use that as motivation.  I asked for examples of this from the PAX.  Maybe there is a coach or a boss that has said that you don’t have what it takes and you can use that to stoke the fire in your belly to make things happen.  Rob Jones calls that “using the weight”.

You can let it weigh you down or you can push back and get stronger.

Announcements:  Dam to Dam Relay in two weeks, Convergence approaching, F3 Guns at AT’s place coming soon.

Prayer requests: Lynn Hamm, Les Nessman’s sister in law in hospice care.  Prayers for her children and his brother.  Prayers for those battling addiction, hopelessness, mental health issues.

Great to see FNG “Band Camp” today.  We had 5 at breakfast today.  No one ordered the “Deuces” but it was mentioned.  ShortSale bought mine today. #classact!

Always a pleasure to lead men!
