17 HIM showed up for what I thought would be a simple, yet challenging workout … consisting of 15 regulars, 1 FNG and 1 runner, which should have just stayed with the group … because we did a light mosey!?

The Warmup

10 GP IC … 20 IW OYO … 30 SSH OYO

The Workout

Mosey to First Presbyterian

Dora 1 … 100 Merkins … 200 Squats … 300 LBC’s

I may have underestimated the length of the parking lot at First Pres!

Mosey to Belmont Foursquare

Dora 2 … 100 Diamonds … 200 Bobby Hurleys … 300 Freddy Mercurys

Luckily, the parking lot is a bit shorter!

Mosey to First Baptist

Dora 3 … 25 Werkins … 50 Jump Squats … 75 Dying Cockroaches

Due to time … we had to shorten Dora 3

Mosey to the Flag

If you’re keeping score at home … That’s 3 Dora’s as in Dora, Dora, Dora … the Explorer. On the way back to the Flag … we stopped and I explained that in Dora there is a villain named Swiper and a saying that goes like this … “Swiper, No Swiping!” To me … at an F3 workout, the villain is “the burpee” … so we had to stop for “Burpees, No Burpees!” I intended to do burpees at every light pole … but due to time we did 5 and moseyed back.

We arrived short of the flag, to find FIA occupying the area … so we stopped for 1 minute of Mary. Eh Ya’ll calls “Pickle Pointers” in Cadence as FIA jogs by … not awkward at all!!!

We get back to the flag as time expires … to realize that we covered almost 4.5 miles on this “Dora the Explorer” workout! We also got to name an FNG that I EH’d last Sunday … who ended up being named “Dingo” … so I guess to stay with the them, “Go Dingo Go!”

The Word

I read Acts 2:42-47 as we moved from church to church … to attempt to offer a chance to catch our breath. This passage is a snapshot of the early church  … a picture of what God intended the church to be … a body of believers worshiping and working … living and loving … serving and sacrificing … together!

I truly believe that is also a snapshot of F3 … Brothers doing life together. We are better … together!
