We heard the Train!

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Warm and Humid

FNGs: Eeyore

COP:  Don Quioxte X 15; Through the Tunnel X 15; LBAC OYO

The Thang:

With the regularly scheduled train through Goose Creek comes the need for many Burpees.  PAX started out with the Railroad Ties where the PAX split in two separate lines.  PAX all low plank approximately 3 feet from the next person.  Last person jumps over planking teammates until they reach the front of the line.  As soon as each PAX is jumped over, they must push up and continue jumping over the next person.  This train continued until the first team crossed the finish line.

Next, the PAX went to the coupon pile to obtain a block to begin the Indian Run on the Tour of Goose Creek, or at least a 2 mile loop.  ONn the way to the trail, we heard a train, so in true Ditch fashion, the PAX completed 11 Burpees on Q.

Next, The Indian run.  YHC started at the front of the line.  Each time YHC came to the front of the line, the PAX stopped for a new exercise.  The exercises where the following (one set at each stop):

• Squats w/Block X 5
• Leg Thrust X 10
• Merkins X 15
• Bobby Hurley X 20

After the first round of exercises, the PAX had reached Publix and the PAX then realized that we just completed a Deconstructed Burpee.  The natural next exercise was more Burpees (10 in fact).  The PAX then made the return trek back to the Ditch to continue with the Deconstructed Burpee.

Mary: Unfortunately, we ran out of time.

6 Reasons to Pray

1. So we’ll live lives worthy of the Lord – v.10.
(Matthew 10:37-39).

2. So we’ll please Jesus in every way – v.10.
(Ephesians 5:8-17).

3. So we’ll bear fruit in every good work – v.10.
(Ephesians 2:10).

4. So we’ll grow in knowledge of God – v.10.
(Jeremiah 9:23-24; Proverbs 9:9).

5. So we’ll be strengthened with God’s power – v.11.
(2 Corinthians 12:9).

6. So we’ll have endurance, patience, and thankfulness – v.11-12.
(Romans 5:3-5).

And why do we want to pray for these?
Because God “has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.” (Colossians 1:13)

Moleskin:   This was YHC first time to Q at the ditch.  YHC may have overestimated the intensity of the workout, but all PAX were able to complete.

We welcomed Ahdan Hassan as an FNG by way of Mack.  Ahdan did not want to offer much information about himself other than to say he hated negativity, so the consensus was he must now be known as Eeyore.
