Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

Day: March 22, 2023

22 on 22

YHC had committed to Q The Labyrinth a few weeks prior not realizing this would be a few days before The Mortimer. That being said, the goal of this workout was to go light on leg work and not get hurt.

A mere 66 1/2 hours from the start of The Mortimer, the PAX were ready to go at 0530. Well… almost all of them were ready to go.

NMM:

Simple but effective. We got with it in some drizzle and frankly no one noticed it. Funny how that happened wasn’t it? Seems that when you get focused on a task that matters you don’t let outside forces get in your way do you? That’s why all F3 workouts are outside. It matters. it can suck. But we do it. And then we move on that day and do other hard things. It’s our purpose to fulfill missions under the most adverse conditions.  Right now as society we need that badly.

The Ricky Bobby – 03/01/2023

We warmed up with jogging and light stretches. We ran to the playground to do Merkins, Pullups, and Squats.

We ran to the walls and did a Triple Nickel with elevated wall Derkins and Squats.

We ran again and added random exercises to the mix.

Broke 52

13 total on a Tuesday evening at Midoriyama for the hero WOD I created for Broke. I like to use it around his birthday.

Warmup:

SSH x 20 ic

Don Q’s x 10 ic

Let’s mosey to the field

The Thang: Broke’s WOD

52 reps of the below for his 52nd birthday

Bankrupt=Burpees(his least favorite) There was a less than stellar performance by the PAX here. I guess when you say 52 burpees right off the bat it takes the wind right out of their sail. There was lot of standing and talking by several. Hate to see it!(This part was copied from last years BB and the exact wording still applied)

Wojo-across the field and back

As poor as a church mouse=American Hammer(his favorite)

Wojo

Destitute=Deconstructed burpee

Wojo

Impoverished=Iron Mike(jump lunge)

Wojo

Poor=Pretzel crunch

Wojo

Penniless=Peter Parker

Wojo

Down and out=Dirty Hookup

Wojo

After the WOD we got in the low pank position in a line side by side with a bit of a gap between us. The pax at the end jumped up and started jumping over the other pax. Then the next pax started. So on and so forth working our way around the field. We did this for a bit then headed back to the flag.

COT:

Pledge-with some pauses suckas

Announcement-2ndF lunch happening as I do this BB, Community run 4/1

Prayer Request-We gotta a lot of folks going through some stuff. Stay strong and keep praying.

Naked Moleskin:

I spoke a little about why I created a hero wod for Broke. If you know him you probably have a good idea why I would do that. If you don’t then I suggest you get to know him.

Praises

EZ riders son is continuing to do well.

Keep pushing rocks fellas.  pushing the smaller metaphorical rocks in our life makes us stronger and more equipped to handle the bigger ones that come our way 💪 pick out a few goals for yourself 6 months or a year from now and the obstacles you need to overcome in order to achieve them.  Push those obstables consistently for 6 months and see what happens. Imagine the best life you can for yourself and your loved ones  and try to make it a reality. 

Thanks for pushing me along, couldn’t and wouldn’t do it without you guys 👊

Maybe it’s Maybelline💋
