No idea what was done. I am sure the rock was pushed.
Best anyone can recall below is who was there.
If you know better or are Flubber, you can correct it.

- Allen Tate
It’s been quite a while since my last post at Diablo due to change in my work schedule, but it was great to be back this morning. Rucking is greater than running simply because you can get a great workout in while still having some great 2nd F. It was great to see all the guys this morning. We started by heading to planet fitness where we did 20 monkey humpers facing the door. We then headed to The coconut horse but on the way stopped and did 25 squat thrusters, 25 flutters pack over check, and 25 squats. At the coconut horse we did descending Merkins 10 to 1 pack on. We then stated back and finished just in time. Great work by all. Honor to lead. Good to meet some new guys I hadn’t previously had a lot of conversations with. Thanks for the push Sledge!
Proverbs 17
17 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
than a house full of feasting, with strife.
2 A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.
4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;
whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
6 Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.
7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
they think success will come at every turn.
9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
the messenger of death will be sent against them.
12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool bent on folly.
13 Evil will never leave the house
of one who pays back evil for good.
14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
the Lord detests them both.
16 Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom,
when they are not able to understand it?
17 A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.
19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
21 To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23 The wicked accept bribes in secret
to pervert the course of justice.
24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.
26 If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,
surely to flog honest officials is not right.
27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.
Pray for Hunchback, Hushpuppy, Bed Pan, Sledge, JJ, Blart, Ash Pond, Uranus. Lift these men and their families.
Proverbs 16
16 To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
4 The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8 Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.
14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
but the wise will appease it.
15 When a king’s face brightens, it means life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver!
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a]
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.
21 The wise in heart are called discerning,
and gracious words promote instruction.[b]
22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,
but folly brings punishment to fools.
23 The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent,
and their lips promote instruction.[c]
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25 There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.
27 A scoundrel plots evil,
and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.
28 A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends.
29 A violent person entices their neighbor
and leads them down a path that is not good.
30 Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the Lord.
Pray for Purple Haze, Linus, Monk, Peffercorn, Gold Digger. Boudin, Hermey. Lift these men and there families.

12 PAX gathered on 12/12 to run not 12 miles and discuss how 12 is the perfect number for a group. No seriously, look it up in QSource! Also, Lizards.
Until next time,

On 1/1/21 F3 will celebrate 10 years of existence. To celebrate I’m proposing a little rock pushing. 10 miles of whatever form you choose, run, ruck, walk, ride, skip, I don’t care just do 10 miles. We will use the Coconut Horse route and do 2 laps. Officially starts times are Ruck=0500(I see you Sargento), Run=0630. Unofficially start whenever you need too to get it done. We will COT at 0800. I’m actually thinking about running 5 then rucking 5 so I may start at 0600. Whatever you do try to hook up with someone else and do it together. Tell stories of F3 past and laugh while you push the rock and start the new year off on the right foot.
Your Q of nothing but this thing,
Freight
7 posted at Midoriyama despite the warning of bear crawls and crab walks. 1 did have a bit of an attitude that really came out in his tone of voice. I’ve noticed people don’t seem to hear themselves in this way. This individual had this same tone and attitude the whole workout. Maybe he was having a bad day I don’t know but it’s ok that he used me as his personal punching bag. I’m here for you brother. However I can help.
Warmup:
1 SSH ic
Mosey
The Thang:
We stopped at the end of the road for 21 reps of merkins, WWI sit ups, and lunges
Mosey to the dog park hill for a triple nickel. Hand release and mtn climbers.
Mosey
Stopped for 15 reps of merkins, WWI sit ups, and lunges
Mosey
Stopped for 9 reps of merkins, WWI sit ups, and lunges
Mosey to the lower end of one of the long parking lots for 11’s. Bear crawl 10 spaces run to the other end of the parking lot and crabwalk 1. Do this for 11’s.
Broke didn’t seem pleased but he doesn’t have a hernia so he can’t blame it on that anymore.
COT:
Announcements-Convergence at Folsom 1/9, food ruck this Saturday, 10 mile 10 year anniversary run/ruck on 1/1
Namerama
Prayer Request-Sargento took us out
Given the weather and COVID, YHC expected the numbers to be low. With one minute to go, it looked like it was going to be a one-man show. (or probably get back in the truck…)
Wait! Is that a one-headlighted Honda pulling in!?!
Much to my joy (and disappointment), another PAX has braved the temporary circumstances to get in some fellowship and work.
With no one else in sight, we move to the old bank for some cover and a little warmup.
WarmUp:
15 SSHs IC
15 LBCs IC
15 Merkins
Armed with Deck ‘o Death we mosey up the parkway to Robinson Elementary.
Two cards were drawn. One exercise was done at one blue double doors, the other one at the other set of blue doors, with a mosey in between.
Aces are 100
Royals are 25
Numbers are 10+ the number.
(Really need to find out what the “Luge” is)
Announcements and COT were done at the school.
Mosey back to the cars…
My intended (and gratuitously stolen) workout was intended to be the 12 days of F3 done in a spot hereto unused. Maybe I will Q again this season…
Until next time.
Watts Up Powering Down
Twenty men jumped out of bed this chilly morning, nearly half of them clocking in early at The Storm for some EC miles. 0530 was upon us so we kicked it into gear. It went something like this.
Warm up –
Side Straddle Hop x 20 IC
Grass Pickers x 20 IC
Mountain Climbers x 15 IC
Merkins x 15 IC
Enough of that, times a ticking!
Mosey to the back gate for some NUR AB instructions.
NUR up the pathway to the concession stand for 30 American Hammers.
Run back down the path to the gate. NUR back up for 30 LBCs.
Run back down the path to the gate. NUR back up for 30 Crunchy Frogs.
Run back down and plank for the six. I think the hill got longer each lap.
Mosey around behind the school and reassemble at the front traffic circle for some 11s up the hill to the entrance traffic circle and back. Quick look at my watch and a confirmation from Orangeman. Audible! Make that 7s. With that we were off! One Merkin at the bottom circle, run up the hill to top circle for 6 Burpees. Back down for 2 Merkins and back up for 5 Burpees… You know how this is going to end.
Lots of pushing this morning! Great work guys! We put in 3.4 miles not counting all that EC leftover from the November challenge. No time for Mary today we may have run over a few minutes.
Announcements –
