Four pax showed, Tesla with Q.  All decided to ruck downtown Belmont and back.

Due to small crowd, Tesla pushed Q Source topic – Team Accountability to next week.

Good crowd gathered for run/ruck on a beautiful morning only to witness Q fail.  Breaker and I headed out early for a few extra miles, late getting back to the start.  Missed a Member’s Only first timer by a couple of minutes.  Fortunately Buckeye picked up my slack.

Q source topic was Accountability-Team.  Good discussion.

After the pledge, asked for announcements, did not really have any.

Prayer requests: Tesla and his family, Turtleman, Huck, Tiger and family, those who struggle during Christmas season

YHC took us out

Runners and ruckers

Q Source on apprenticeship.  Solid group of Him’s

Crowd has been very light at Members Only for quite some time now.  Even a few “regulars” haven’t been seen in a while.  Hope that trend turns.  This is one of the opportunities we have for Q source each week.

Started with two runners, one rucker and one walker.  Another runner joined later.

Met at 7:15 for pledge.

Big crowd this morning for boot camp, a few runners too.   0730 hits.  Start with mission of F3,  to plant grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration male community leadership.  Disclaimer.  Warm up SSH, IW, arm circles, gravel pickers, stretches.

Lap around parking lot.

YHC set up 9 stations, divided in to exercise of 30, 20, and 10 reps.  30 reps were thrusters with block, smurf jack, floor swipers with a block.  20 reps HR merkins, bonnie blairs, blockies.  10 reps were big boy sit ups, burpee, goblet squats.  Two laps around parking lot.

One full round was 180 reps.  Most got in two rounds. Good work.  Mosey back to the flag, but take a different route than we left by.

Pledge.  Taking a different route was symbolic in that at the end of every day we need to return in a way that is different than how we started.  Going out each day with humility and a desire to influence those we encounter in a positive way resulting in growth for us all.

Oscar also had a word regarding Matthew 25 and the parable of ten virgins.  Five were foolish and five were wise.  We have opportunity every day to be a light in the darkness, be one of the wise.  No man left behind means that we have a duty to help lead those spiritually who are in need.  Thanks Oscar

A handful showed for EC, mostly runners.  0730, let’s go.  Begin with the mission of F3, to plant grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration male community leadership.  Pledge.  Warm up of SSH, IW, arm cirlces, burpees, gravel pickers, and some stretches.  SA found a set key, anyone lose theirs?

Head down to the pavilion with no cover.  Find a picnic table.  Step ups, derkins and dips.  Start with 20 each leg, 15 derkins, 10 dips.  Run to flag and back after completed.  Increase all by 5, another round.  Increase by 5 again for 30, 25, and 20.  One more round but decrease by 5.   That gives 100 step ups, 80 derkins, 60 dips.

Head to the tennis courts.  Figure 8s.  Bear crawl base line of two courts, up sideline to net, across at net of two courts, up side line to back line, across two courts, down sideline, across nets again, down sideline back to start.  At each corner (turn) 5 burpees.  40 burpees total.  One more round with lunge walk and diamond merkins.

Good work men.

Fellowship mosey outside of courts.  Do hard things.  Tough workout to this point, but YHC calls for a sprint to the flag.  Tough thing to do  when you r tired and not expecting it.

Enough time for a little mary.

Time

YHC told story of Carlos Hathcock, highly regarded Marine sniper from Vietnam era.  Perhaps the most highly regarded Marine sniper.  But early in his first deployment, he had a tough time including a night when he didn’t think he could he go on.  He devised a plan to dig a hole deep enough to insert his leg.  He was then going to drop a hand grenade in the whole to maim his leg so he wouldn’t have to home.  He began digging the whole at dusk.  Worked through the night.  Once the hole was deep enough, the sun began to rise.  He realized that he had made it through the night, and had the realization that maybe he did have what it takes to keep pushin.  Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.

Announcements:  JJ5k 9/24, amoeba ruck 10/08, covergence 10/15, 2nd F lunch this month.

Prayer requests: Huck, Turtleman, parise for Tooth Fairy daughter, Tesla family

Two for a morning ruck

Light Saturday crowd.  Csaup was happening at same time, but a little rain was probably the bigger factor.  Check those core principals. Begin with reminder of mission of F3, then  head to the pavilion for warm up .

Stay in pavilion for 10 steps each leg, run a lap around park.  15 step ups each leg and add 10 dips, run a lap.  Keep progressing and adding a new exercise, running a lap after each set.  Progressed to 30 step ups each leg, 25 dips, 20 merkins, 15 big boys, 10 diamond merkins.

Fellowship mosey to the turd shack.  10 hip slappers count one side and run half way up myrtle street hill.  Rinse and repeat for several rounds.  Rain did pick up towards the end, but we all survived.  Csaup came through The Yank as well.  Roundup and Bedpan helped us out by calling a couple rounds of hip slappers for us, thanks men!
