Seven HIM made their way to the Yank to burn off some of their Thanksgiving leftovers.  After a quick warm up in the Bunker Gavel and Main Frame headed out for a ruck/ walk tour of Belmont.  The remaining five took their own tour.  It went a little like this.

Belmont Ladder

From the Bunker run to Main and Airline – One Burpee.  Run to Nellies – One Burpee + 5 CDD.  Run to String Bean – One Burpee + 5 CDD + 10 Lunges.  Run to Woodrow – One Burpee, + 5 CDD + 10 Lunges + 25 Merkins.  Run to Glenway – One Burpee + 5 CDD + 10 Lunges + 25 Merkins + 50 Mountain Climbers.  Run to Chronicle/Police Station – One Burpee + 5 CDD + 10 Lunges + 25 Merkins + 50 Mountain Climbers + 75 Squats. Run to Chronicle Mill – One Burpee + 5 CDD + 10 Lunges + 25 Merkins + 50 Mountain Climbers + 75 Squats + 100 LBCs

At the Mill we made our way down the ramp to the empty garage.  After a quick look see we ran out back and back up to the top where we attempted a round of I go You go.  No partners so we deescalated 10 Merkins on one side of the parking lot and 10 American Hammers on the other.

Mosey back to the front for a taste of Reverse Spiderman Merkins up the stairs.  Our spidey skills were tested after the earlier merkins, burpees and CDDs.  We will revisit that another time.

Mosey back to the bunker for a quick game of tic tac toe.  This one will come back too.  Show to Know!

Quick mosey back to The Yank to meet up with Gavel and Main Frame and finish up the last 3 minutes with Mary.

Squats – 10 IC

Merkins – 10 IC

Maybelline ran us to the FUSE.

Maybelline:  11’s – Side length of FUSE parking lot, I think we did Rocky Balboa’s and Flutters.  I could be wrong about that, but we did a round of 11’s with something on each side.

Linus:  Middle of parking lot, partner up.  10 Big Boys and Partner 1 mosey length of lot to the end and best you can sprint back.  Partner 2 goes opposite distance performing same.  ‘Reckon I could have been a bit more clear in my directions but we got through it.  Round 2 was with Homer/Marge, 10 IC.  Run and return.

Maybelline:  Triple Nickel turned out to be a few pennies.  I honestly forgot what we did but we unmercifully received instructions to bear crawl the distance to each side.  Maybelline’s a burner, anti-slow digestion of turkey for some reason.  I’m not sure we received enough rain to clean the lot.  Will need a street cleaner over there.

Mosey back.  Some Mary at the stop lights (and so I could catch my breath)

Back to home base.

Workout over.

I stopped a little early to read scripture the most important part!

“We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

If we claim to follow Christ then we have job to do when it comes to living day to day for the lord and shining His light. We can’t do the work outside of Christ. Through His word it brings us Encouragement and Endurance. We have to allow the Holy Spirit to manifest Jesus in and through us. We need to build each other up in the word of God and not the worldly comments we make at these workouts and in our group text. That’s not the spiritual encouragement we need to have for true in endurance for our walk with Christ. We are to bring God glory with one voice in accord with Jesus! Are we bringing God glory in the things we say, the things we do in the F3 group? It’s more than working out and it is fellowship but as a believer in Jesus ask yourself if what your doing and what you’re saying is bringing glory to God?

We can’t just be acceptable and comfortable to the world and its ways  if we are believers then we will look different. F3 should look different from the world and in my opinion we are slowly conforming to the world around us and it’s closing in fast! Stand firm and faithful in the word of God and  be different.

Wake up everyday wanting to give the encouragement and endurance of the scriptures to someone and bring glory to God!
