Moleskin

We are called to a mission and to serve. There is no mission or service greater than another as long as the focus is from and to God.  Whatever your calling may be, do it.  Life will be rewarding and fulfilling  because of it.  It was an honor this morning and thanks to all of you for pushing me everyday to live right.

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”  1 Peter 4:10

Preblast for F3 Impact Challenge

@F3Gastonia

Modeled after the overwhelming success of the IronPAX challenge, F3 Coastal Empire has put together a challenge that will test your Region’s ability to give back to the community. We’ve proven that we can challenge each other physically. Here is a challenge that tests your ability to serve.

This challenge will be focused on 3rdF activities. There will be two challenges lasting 2 weeks each. The first challenge will be revealed on Sunday, 10/20. Pro tip: Get Creative once the challenge is released.

Let’s try this 3rd F challenge for the next 4 weeks. List your donations on their website www.f3savannah.com using F3 Gastonia region. If you prefer, we will also collect non-perishable food items for Mt. Holly CRO. Site Q’s collect and I will pick up and deliver. You can also follow on F3 Impact Challenge on Twitter.

Examples for first challenge:
Buying popcorn from the boyscouts. Donating jackets to goodwill. Collecting money as a group for a local charity. Canned food drive for your local food bank. Rounding up at the grocery store for charity. Unacceptable examples: not participating.

Miles of Bricks

Q’d gashouse 10/11/19, had a blast with Roscoe and Padre.

Disclaimer, warmup,

Pledge

Mosey to lineberger park Bball courts.  Oh look, someone left some blocks and a ball.  Lined up for free throws.

3 chest presses, shoot a free throw.  If you hit it, you rotate and do 3 chest presses.  If you miss, 3 blockes, then rotate.  Rinse and repeate.  Each Pax takes a turn.  3 times of this, then mixed it up with unbalanced merkins with 1 hand on the block and blockies if you miss.  Then 5 curls and 3 blockies if you miss.  3 rounds of each. Back it out to 3 pointer, Merkins and squats, no blocks.

Finally, moved it in for some Pig (no pun intended Roscoe).  Left hand bank shot, 3 merkins if you miss.  right handed, 3 merkins if you miss.

Mosey back.

5 minutes of mary with pain lab.

collected $100 for the toilet benefit.  As promised, did burpees for each dollar earned.  I did $13 at the gashouse for good measure (to cover the $ingles).  Hipaa said something about tucking them in my shorts but I declined that offer.  Did the full 100 on Tuesday morning at Bulldog. someone owes me $13.00.

 

good times.

Mosey over to the dry cleaners beside Food lion and sit on the wall while doing some marching and hand presses – only did 10 in cadence

Mosey across the Foodlion parking lot the long way – we ran each row of spaces to almost the end  (we omitted the last two rows)

I thought about going into the construction zone of the new Planet Fitness but the yellow tape stopped me – did want anyone to fall in a hole

Took a quick left to go behind the building , lunged walked a short distance before stopping for some 11’s

11’s – mekins and plank jacks – from wall to buidling

Mosey back toward the start to finish up with a little Merry:

1 minute of flutter kicks

Out with Prayer

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven, and i will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ”

 

Thanks for the honor of leading today!

Until next time EZ Rider out

 

The Cooper

on this fine cooler than lately morning, YHC expected a larger crowd for a Folsom beatdown. Many are still on run training only until the races are over this month, so I knew it may end up a lighter than usual crowd. Either way, I knew PAX that posted would get some good work in.

No FNGs

warmorama

SSH, Gravel pickers, Toy Soldiers all x10 IC

No shovel Flag, mosey to park entrance flag pole for pledge, then mosey back to the tennis courts

thang

The Cooper, or otherwise known as 10-1, a variation of Sparky’s block workout 20-1. Using the first corner of the tennis courts, start with 10 each of burpees, Big Boys, Merkins. Mosey a lap around the entire court area, back to start for 9 each. Continue on until you’ve finished your final 1 rep each and final lap. Men are getting better everyday out there, so some routines are being finished faster each time they’re called. With about 7 minutes left, YHC calls for some core Mary. After 2 rounds, time is up.

Moleskin

The cube represented our lives as Christians. Once we accept Christ we are clean and in order. We then immediately sin and screw up. We get all jumbled up and messy. Once we repent, we get back to an orderly state. It may not be on our time or the way we want but we are always set right. We then, of course, sin again repeat the cycle.

Thank you for the opportunity to Q.  It was honor to be able to be servant leader to a solid group of HIM’s

Big Pappy

Judges 2 18:19 ESV

“Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For the Lord was  moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them. But whenever the judge died, they turned back and were more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them. They did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.”
