Announcements: YHC had to split and could not stick around for annoucements and devo.  Major Dad handled this responsibility.  Thank you sir!

Moleskin:   YHC had the EH on Cheech heavy over the last several weeks.  Cheech made a deal with me.  If I picked up 2 consecutive Q’s he would be at both of them.  He held up his end of the deal this morning.  His thought process was if its going to suck for him its going to suck for me also.  Bob the Builder has a weird infatuation with Captain D’s.  Said “its the best seafood in Charleston and is only slightly inferior to Long John Silver’s.”  I am not sure what he drank Sunday night but it is clearly impacting his Monday conversations.  Heads up to anyone Qing out at Tectonic.  That is a dark neighborhood.  Please have reflective gear if you are leaving the AO.  YHC had a head lamp and Nox Gear vest and several cars passed us and didn’t even hit the brakes.  Thank you for allowing me to lead gentleman.

Devo:

Be Strong

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) ( Deuteronomy 31:6 )

 

Strength with Jesus looks different than the strength the world celebrates.  When we are strong in the Lord we assume a posture of humility; inwardly recognizing that we can be confident because we have been gifted access to God’s power.  The world cheers on human will power, success, and an “I can do it if I just try hard enough” mentality. Let’s be strong in the Lord, resting in the knowledge of His power, not our own.

Moleskin:   Had some first timers out  for the September running of the Cardiac.  Mad Dog, Myrtle, Bob the Builder and Pony all saddled up for their first attempt at The Cardiac.  Strong work by all.  Defib led the pack with 13 rounds today. I am not sure anyone is surprised though.

Devo:

Complete Honesty

Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! (NLT) ( Psalm 32:2 )

 

How is it possible for God to clear us of guilt if we aren’t honest about our guiltiness? Many times we hide our sins from ourselves by failing to recognize them or we hide them from others when we aren’t transparent. This verse tells us we can find joy in our honesty and God will clear us of our brokenness. Please don’t use this to condemn yourself of guilt. Instead, use it to positively embrace transparency in your life. Work towards transparency by sharing your struggles with others. They in turn will see Jesus is your strength.

Moleskin:   Today Bedrock celebrated its 4 birthday.  Actual birthday is 7-14.  The PAX showed up and showed out today.  YHC had been sitting on this Q for a while.  Glad to be given the opportunity to execute it. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman.  Fish N Chips and Chum tried hard to steer the Q off the plan but YHC had the Q juice flowing heavy this morning.  T Claps to Gypsy, City Slicker, Splinter, Double Trouble, Swinger, and Show Me for getting in a little SCS action.  We also had 2 spectators from the IR today.  Major Dad and Hospice enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around the park.  Heal up quick fellas.

Devo: Luke 2 tells us about when boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem when his parents and their caravan headed back home. When his parents noticed he wasn’t in their company they went back and searched the city. Eventually, they found him in the temple talking with the priests and scribes who were in awe of his knowledge.

YHC’s girls studied this passage in VBS yesterday. Last night, my M and I discussed it with them. Our discussion centered on Jesus knowing God’s purpose for his life, even at a young age, and that he was resolute in following that purpose.

YHC’s challenge to the PAX this morning: Know your purpose. By walking with God closely we can hear His call in our lives. When we find the purpose He calls us to, we will find peace, contentment, and joy.

Moleskin:

Bob the Builder got a good stretch during Don Quiotes.

Space Cowboy took a field trip. He had to stop running during the Indian Run and thought we went a different direction. A search party was sent and eventually he was found coming back to the AO after he had nearly run to the Concrete Beast looking for us. This resulted in many jokes at Cowboy’s expense, which he took like a champ. Adjustment suggested we change his F3 name to “Lost in Space.”

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

Conditions: Moist from the rain from the day before, but slightly cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward x10 IC), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
After the warm-up, Pax gathered at the spot we normally do the Cardiac, and got the instructions for the Tabata’s being done during the workout…40 seconds of hard work, followed by 20 seconds of rest.  Here were the exercises done for each Tabata:
-Merkins
-Squats
-Wide Merkins
-LBCs
-Burpees

Began the Thang:
-Tabata #1
-Mosey to wiffle ball field the back way
-Tabata #2
-Mosey to the big baseballs at the front of the park
-Tabata #3
-Mosey to the parking lot closest to the baseballs
-Roundabout 7s w/ jump-squats and hand-release merkins (same idea as typical 7s, just running around the parking lot, and doing the exercises at each end of the oval, instead of running back and forth) – Had to cut this a little short to make sure we had time for Mary…but most people got close to finishing
-Mosey back to the flag, w/ the ruckers taking the lead

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ a social & fundraising event at Shortcake’s farm at 1pm.  Bring 2.0s to the workout, and bring 2.0s and Ms to the event at the farm. 4th of July Convergence at the Ditch…Bedrock will not be open that day.  LQ at Stalker’s house tonight.

Devo: Father’s Day may be a day to celebrate the one’s with us with kids, but use that day to be mindful of what it takes to be a good father, and then follow through with that throughout the year.

Moleskin:   Typically, the 2nd Thursday of the month is when the Cardiac (monthly fitness test) is held at Bedrock.  But this month, it has been moved to the end of the month as a part of Beast Week, so I was contractually obligated to NOT do the Cardiac.  So we did not do the Cardiac.  Any similarities that today’s workout had with the Cardiac were purely coincidental.  Also, shout-out to Wreck-It Ralph and DeFib as they ignored my disclaimer that today’s workout wasn’t the friendliest to ruckers, and they still did it w/ their rucks on most of the time.

Devo: 

Psalm 50:9-15

When we recognize that everything is God’s (our money, resources, time and talents) it puts things in the right perspective. We are all stewards of what we are given. Will we be the faithful steward, managing what has been entrusted to us? Or will we hoard our gifts and claim them for ourselves?

F3 is another gift that has been entrusted to us. How will we manage it going forward? Each time we come out we have an obligation to uphold the standard and make F3 something we share with those around us.

Moleskin: It has been a privilege to lead this AO the past two years. I’m excited to see Milton maintain the standard and take the AO to new heights. He is a Seismic faithful who embraces the F3 mission. Congrats Milton! Thanks to Probie for being willing to jump in for some old school Q action. Lesson learned today:  Laying down head to toe and completing Bert Reynolds can make some folks uncomfortable.

Devo

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt

Conditions: Hot/Muggy

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward OYO), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
Each man grabs a cinder block, and then I divided the Pax into groups of 3 (though I had to have two groups of 4 due to having 17 Pax).  At all times during the workout, one member of your group will be carrying, one will be running, and one will be exercising.  The ‘carrying’ member will transport two cinder blocks around the dirt parking lot.  While he is doing that, another member of the team will be running sprints between the entrance of the dirt parking lot, and the light pole on the right.  The third member of the group will be performing an exercise.  Once the block carrier returns, trade places so that all members will go through a cycle of Carrying/Running/Exercising.  Once all members have completed the first exercise, they move onto the next.  The exercises were:
-Flutter Kicks w/ the block
-Blockees
-Overhead Press
-Curls for the Girls
And then we ran out of time.

Devo: Even a day removed from Memorial Day, do not forget the purpose of the day…to honor the men/women that paid the ultimate price in service to our Nation.

Moleskin:   YHC really doesn’t like carrying cinder blocks.  I especially don’t like to carry two at a time.  But for some reason, I felt like we needed a workout that incorporated a lot of cinder block carrying.  Unfortunately, not all cinder blocks involved in the workout made it out alive.  We had one casualty, and we made sure to pay tribute with 10 burpees.  Hopefully all of the Pax got a good workout today so that the cinder block’s life wasn’t lost in vain.

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; Indian Run (in 3 lines) to the baseballs at the entrance of the park and back to the flag.

The Thang:

Each man grabs a cinderblock and reassembles at the flag; YHC explain that I’ll be giving the Pax some individual choices about the exercises they can do…
-Decision #1 – 15 OH Press or 15 Triceps Extension (single count OYO)
-Decision #2 – 15 Curls for the Girls or 15 Bent-Over Rows (single count OYO)
-Decision #3 – 15 Chest Presses or 15 Dammits (single count OYO)
-Do a second set of the same three exercises you did above, 15x each single count OYO
-Mosey to the bridge
-Decision #4 – Bear-crawl or Crab-walk back and forth between bridge rails (2x)
-Decision #5 – 15 Decline Merkins or 15 Triceps Dips after crossing the road each time w/ whatever method you picked in #4 above.
-Mosey to wall…due to large turnout, had Pax split up between low wall and high wall.
-Decision #6 (low wall) – Box Jumps or Toe Taps (for one minute)
-Decision #7 (high wall) – People’s Chair or Plank w/ feet on wall (for one minute)
-After one minute, Pax switch walls and make a decision there.
-Mosey to far parking lot
-Decision #8 – Stayin’ Alives w/ choice of 3 burpees or 10 squats after returning to the start each time.
-Mosey back to the wall
-YHC now uses the Pax’s earlier choices against them.  They have to do the exercise they avoided in Decisions #6 & #7 for 90 seconds each.
-Mosey to bridge
-Pax must do the exercises/movements they avoided in Decisions #4 & #5…crossing the road 4x, and doing 10 reps of each of the exercises from Decision #5 each time.
-Ran out of time, so moseyed back to the circle and stowed the blocks

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ an event at Shortcake’s farm…details to come.

Devo: You face a lot of choices in life.  And often times, you don’t get the benefit of hindsight.  So if you make a decision and it turns out poorly due to circumstances that you could not have reasonably foreseen, then there’s no reason to beat yourself up over it.

Moleskin:   YHC was long overdue to start Qing, so after facilitating the Cardiac at Bedrock a couple of times, and after co-Qing w/ Sprinkles a couple of months ago, I finally stepped up w/ my first real solo Q.  The turnout by the Pax was amazing and forced YHC to have to modify the Weinke a bit due to our size.  Also, this Weinke had a lot of instructions for the Pax, so the large numbers worried me a bit, but I was able to cut through the mumble chatter and get everyone on the same page most of the time.  I didn’t quite get to everything on the Weinke due to time, but I feel like the Pax got their heartrate up and got a solid beatdown.  YHC learned quite a bit from this first solo Q, and I look forward to leading again soon.
