3/3/22 The GOAT – Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery………

Pledge to the imaginary flag at the post office

No FNG’s – Short Disclaimer

Warm Up:

Seal Jacks IC x 20

Hill Billy Walkers IC x 15

Merkins x 10 OYO

 

Mosey to the far side of the bridge in the park.

Pulled the following from the internet…….

“It’s absolutely clear what Oscar Wilde meant (so many forget the second half of the quote) when he wrote Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. If any imitation is going to happen, let the mediocre imitate you.”

If, I’m going to copy someone, it may as well be one of the best, as in Sister Act.  I have copied several of his ideas.

SA Q’d such a great workout at The Sandlot last Monday, 2/28, that I had to copy it for the PAX at The GOAT today.   That and I’m not very creative.  Enough of the man crush, its time to get to work.

This is a combination between Suicide Runs and Route 66.  Each Pax will perform 1 Flutter Kick, 1 LBC and 1 BB Sit Up at the start, which is the far end of the bridge.  Mosey to the first light, do 2 Burpees and Mosey back to the start.   Each Pax will perform 2 Flutter Kicks, 2 LBCs and 2 BB Sit Ups, Mosey to the second light, do 2 Burpees and Mosey back to the start.  You get the idea.  Increase the reps as you increase the Mosey between the lights.  There are 11 lights between the first bridge and the end of the sidewalk by the back parking lot.  Everyone ran hard and got some serious miles in during this routine.

Gather by the playground and do Freddie Mercury’s while we wait for the 6.

45 second Low Plank in support of Roscoe’s March Challenge.

Mosey to the picnic shelter for Step Ups x 10 (each leg) Dips x 10, Derkins x 10.  Rinse and Repeat x 15 and x 10.

Mosey to the start.

Time ……. I had right at 3 miles when we finished.

Great work today gentlemen.

Dirt

Hill work

Warm Up

20 SSH IC

10 Burpees

10 SSH IC

5 Burpees

Mosey to the HILL

At the top of the hill we done 10 burpees and at the bottom we done 10 air squats. This went on for 4 rounds taking us to completion of our first mile!

We finished and the guys were looking strong so we completed another mile on the hill with 10 Merkins at the top and 10 big boys at the bottom!!

As we finished that mile I could see the guys had enough gas in the tank for 1 more mile! So we collected as a group and took off through the nature trail and around the park for the last mile. We made it back to the flag and finished with

SSH 20 IC

5 burpees

SHH 10 IC

5 burpees

that’s time!!

“What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:18-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

the lord blesses us with opportunity to share his word at the workouts and I pray I can take advantage of that every time. As me and my wife were in the hospital 2 weeks ago with our babies that had passed away I read chapter 1 in Philippians and this part stuck out.

No matter the situation Paul’s expectations were to honor Christ! That’s the same with us no matter life or death in this body we should strive to honor our savior! Only through a relationship with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit will we ever be able to withstand the pressures of this world and it’s the only way we will bring him the glory he deserves!

Killing the big cheese

Seriously, who believes that we would let that happen?
He did collapse (in true NCSU Wolfpack tradition) at the finish line. Nine eyewitnesses saw him flopped out on the pavement like roadkill. Even a video exists that may or may not see the light of day showing this very fact.
Enough about the greatest F3 Gastonia nantan for the year 2022.

Words of Wisdom
What is truth?
What is truth?” This was the question that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus in John 18:38. It’s such a pivotal, eternity-altering question that I have this page marked in my Bible so I can find it immediately.

Many believe that truth is relative. Truth for you is not necessarily truth for me. 
Questioning my truth would be considered intolerant and would infringe on my rights, at least according to today’s accepted norms.
However, the Bible has a lot to say about truth which directly contradicts much of what the world believes about the matter.

First, truth is not an idea or an opinion, but a Person.

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6, ESV). 
Second, the truth won’t always be popular. Remember Jesus was the embodiment of truth and they hated and murdered Him. The truth can be offensive because it tells us what’s wrong with us.
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’” (John 8:31-32, ESV). Jesus goes on to say that those who are in sin are slaves to sin, but those who find hope in Him are released from that bondage. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36, ESV).

What is Truth? Truth is Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection. Truth is the Word of God, the Bible. Truth may not be popular, especially in our world today, but Truth will set you free … and not just for today, but for eternity!
YHC took us out in prayer.
