Honored to lead the workout today – my 50th birthday.  I have been with F3 for almost 5 years now and it has definitely changed my life, led me to push myself to achieve what I could not have done alone, and taught me what it means to live third.  I’ve learned that doing a ton of merkins does not help me as much as getting out of bed, posting and showing consistency.  I have been blessed to get to know so many great men in this community and am proud to be a part of this organization.  However it is 5:30 so time to move

2 for EC – Roscoe and Dirt – Dirt learned that he really is an 8:30 pace miler.  Way to push – 12 HIMs decided it would be a good idea to get up , post and get better today and I did not plan on disappointing anyone.  1 FNG (EH’ed by Tyson) posted so more than usual half ass disclaimer was made.

Warm-up

SSH

Merkins

Don Q (almost fell over so enough of that)

Mosey to Marthas parking lot where we did increasing number of of plankjacks at each island starting with 5 and increasing by 5 to the end of the parking lot- what do you know ended with 50 plank jacks.  Then worked our way back – same routine but with squats.  Found out that Midoryama is not the only AO where math is second language.   Moseyed to concession stand for some tabata style exercises.  50 seconds at a time AMRAP exercises separated by a 50 yard run in-between.  Exercises included Bonnie Blairs, Big Boys, flutter kicks, CDDs, and burpees.  During exercises I was prodded by Whoopee for some words of wisdom- obviously he can’t get enough of me doing same at work – I tried to think of something smart ass but the only thing coming out of my mouth had something to do with setting goals, writing them down, and telling others your plan to hold you accountable.  Of course this means you much trust yourself and your friends in your shield-lock to help you.  Finished off the workout with 6 minutes of Mary including crunchy frogs, flutters(50-thanks Gastone), burpees, dying cockroaches, dirty dogs and reverse crunches. -TIME

Announcements – Go Ruck training – every Saturday two hours before boot camp rotating between different AOs – Next week will be at the Schiele

Spartan training – reach out to Gump

COT included some parting words on trust what to do when you find yourself losing trust in yourself, your judgements and the people in your circle.  Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Prayers for Timeframe’s M and family friend of Gump who is battling cancer and illnesses

Pledge

Name-o-rama

YHC took us out.

Truly an honor to lead!

Seuss

Begin by saying pledge since Broke was nice enough to forget his flag for me so we would not be winded.

Warm up SSH 15 in cadence

Don Q 15 in cadence

Gravel pickers 15 in cadence

Mosey to flag anyway. LBC till 6 show up

Mosey down to dog pound road for triple nickle with 5 burpees at top and 5 big boys at entrance to tennis courts

Mosey to tennis courts for 9 to 1 merkins, lbc, mountain climbers, flutter kicks. Start by doing 9 in cadence of each exercise then work your way down to 1.

I didn’t get far before I had to leave for work. There was an unspoken verbal contract that someone would finish up for me. I believe that was the case.

I still don’t like the fact that I leave early and miss out on COT( you don’t realize what you miss till you miss it). But I need to be employed.

If you would continue to remember my father in law in your prayers as well as my M’s uncle( her moms brother) he is in ICU with blood clots in his lungs.

Thanks

A couple weeks ago, I was talking to Wichita and Roundup about plugging the 3rd F in a little more in the Folsom area! Thought that Monday mornings would be a good time to do this and a great way to start our week! So, I threw  it out on groupme and those guys were ready! We will meet at ingles at 530, or earlier if you want, run/ruck/walk, whatever you choose, which there were some guys getting after it in the pouring rain this morning,  but be inside ingles at 6! The pax that takes the Q will bring a verse, and that will be our weekly verse to commit to memory! And hopefully help each other grow spiritually! No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends!
-Your prayer life will be strengthened! -Your witnessing will be sharper and much more and much more effective. – Your attitude and outlook will begin to change! – Your mind will become alert and observant! – Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced! – Your faith will be solidified!
A few reasons why so many have viewed scripture memorization as essential to the Christian life…

1 Conformity to Christ!

2 Daily triumph over sin!

3 Daily triumph over Satan!

4 Comfort and council for people you love!

5 Communicating the gospel to unbelievers!

6 Communion with God!

Knowing Gods Word is vital to our spiritual health and those around us!

I NEED those around me to pursue Christ! So that in turn, they can pour into me and push me to glorify God in all I do! And I need to be doing the same for them! “No man is an island “, we were designed to work together and build one another up daily! Your wife, children, pax, coworkers, need you to pursue Christ more then anything else whether they know it or not! With all that being said, this weeks verse is

Psalm 119:105- Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path.

” He who walks in darkness is sure, sooner or later to stumble! While He who walks by the light of day or by lamp of night, stumble not, but keeps his uprightness “, Bible study tools.

psalm 119:105 is telling you that Gods word will help you navigate through this life! We have this tool! This light! Why not use it!

prayer request- pax, our community, Wichita’s dad fell last night and broke his hip and will be having surgery today.

Thank you men for allowing me to lead this morning! I am excited about what will come of this!

After listening to the 43 feet podcast on missionality, I decided to make that my workout. This workout is a combination of the podcast and my own thoughts.

Today’s mission is to not just work out but to build teamwork as well. Let’s get fit together.

Warm up 20 in Cadence.

SSH

Squat

Merkin

LBC

Toy soldiers

Hillbillies

Jog to the small soccer field for team work.

F3 has a mission statement. The mission statement is to plant, serve and grow men’s small workout groups with the intent of invigorating male leadership throughout the community.

As we Q our workouts we must keep the group on the mission. Just like in our daily lives we must stay on mission, we must keep those around us on the mission. Whether your mission be on the first F, like staying in shape so you can be there for your family or getting up earlier to be ready for scheduled appointments, second  F, like getting to know people more, being more outgoing, listening to others as they need help with life, or sharing with others your needs. Or just simply visiting someone.  Or your mission may be on the third F. Like learning to read more scripture, having a more routine for your faith or understanding more of your faith. Your third F mission may also be praying with others more.

Let’s do some teamwork.

Split into teams of 5.  The mission is to carry the tires the length of the field as a team. Our mission  is to carry the tires  stopping at the halfway mark completing an exercise and then continue to the end of the field and complete another set of the called exercise. Because we are a team, exercises are called by the PAX. We completed 10 different exercises and completed 5 trips up and down the field, while carrying the tires. 

With time running low, lets Indian run back to the start. The last man drops off and completes five squats before running to the front of the line. 

Sometimes the Q can complete the mission even though the organization is split up into several groups. Our new mission is to split up into groups of 2.

Complete these exercises in 10 reps.

My Mission

My Mission in life is to be  Christ centered. What is your Mission?

3 Questions for the Q and his team.

1. Can a team prosper without a mission?
2. How does the Q keep his team focused on the mission?
3. What danger is there for a team that loses its focus?
