Mission:  F3’s mission is to plant small workout groups that are free of charge to all men.   We improve fitness and leadership in the community through regular scheduled workout groups where participants rotate leadership.

Conditions: 45 degrees, cold

The Thang: 30, I repeat 30!,  PAX showed up to The Creamer to either run, ruck, ride or just for coffee.

Moleskin:  For some reason whenever it is cold out, the PAX tend to order coffee and sit outside. I have still yet to figure this one out, but that is for another day.

The return of Shortcake and DHL brought all the boys to The Creamer – sorry Cheetah! It was great to have these two guys back out after a long hiatus.

Happy 39th birthday to Bedrock’s own Benefits!

Many prayers request were spoken as well as many praise requests. T-Claps to Too Much for taking us home in the BOM.

DORA / 21’s

YHC placed 4 cards on each bench on path at the ditch, pax picked a partner to do the Dora, which was Burt Reynolds and flutter kicks.

one partner would start 21s , lunge walk entire lengths of BB court between work outs. Other partner would run to each bench and conduct 15 reps of the card that was turned over. after the last bench YHC put 4 cards on picnic table. This was how they were to make it from picnic table back to relieve partner and continue with 21s. there were 16 exercises completed at all 4 benches, 300yrd sprint, bear crawls, backward lunge, sumo walk conducted for 300 yrd back to court. and no one finished 21s.

Namerama: mc fly, bedpan, fryer tuck, string bean , juliet, splinter , hardbarugh, mack 

Pledge and COT

Announcements: replace with announcements

Devo: Related Devo to table 23, community and how building it is important. How the church has failed because we make our groups or clicks and we all like each other. Really what God wants us to do is to be around people we don’t like or have things in common with to build that community. Reach out of our comfort zone and get to know people. How F3 does that, we all come with the common goal in mind either we like each other or not. You don’t have to like each other to complete or accomplish a goal. 

Moleskin:   Been struggling to get out in the gloom. Just been in and out for a while beacause of new baby at first , now it is just out of routine. Routine is very important for me. Just need to build that back up.

COP:
SSH x 10 IC, more mumble chatter than expected for a simple warm up. Tough crowd!

The Thang: 
YHC wanted to complete a pyramid sprint but we made it all the way up, just never back down.

4 x 200m, 3 x 400m, 2 x 800m, 1 x 1600m with approx 1 minute rest between sprints. Rounded out the the last 400m with light poles sprint/jog (Frolic and skipping with jazz hands were suggested as a modification).

Announcements:
P200, Freedom Men’s Hike

Pledge of Allegiance:

BOM: (Prayer)
Praying for Freedom Men’s Hikers and their work schedules, praying for the P200 teams and their safety

Devo:
2 Timothy 4:6-7 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Devote yourself to the service of God and continue to push yourself when life gets difficult. Surround yourself with others that will lift you up and tell you the hard truth. Find your pace in life and partner with someone for accountability. Continue to grow, because no one can just show up with no training expect to be the fastest.

Moleskin:
The second half of the pyramid should have included a second set of 800m, 400, and 200m sprints for a total of 5.5 miles. However it wasn’t a shabby 5.5k with an average 8:40 min/mile when breaks were removed from the equation. Our FNG BJB attempted to be sincere, but our minds drifted to BBQ upon the mention of his name Melvin. So welcome Big Joe Bessingers, BJB!

Some of the exercises included: duck walk back to other side, bear crawl to other side, monkey humpers, bobby hurleys, squats, lunges, too many to name.

Muscadine showed up late for Q school and was added to a team to even things up. No one was injured, but Juliet may still be feeling that for some time! YHC was on the winning team FYI!

Devo: Jeremiah 29:11 For i know the plans i have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Welcome FNG Mall Cop to the PAX.

Devo: Habits

Studies tell us that it takes 21 days (according to the pax) to form a habit. It takes perseverance and consistency for them to stick. When it comes to things like F3, it wasn’t hard to turn that into a habit for YHC. I just started getting up and kept doing it.

There are other habits that I wish I could came so easy. These are the spiritual disciplines: quiet time, Bible study, prayer time, etc. Those thing have proven to be a little harder habits for YHC to form. But the Bible tells us that the spiritual things are significantly more important than the physical. Those are the things that are eternal.

So this morning’s devo was more an accountability devo for YHC that hopefully challenged the other pax to find some healthy habits to form as well.

Moleskin:   McFly HC’d but hadn’t made it yet when we started. We missed him and wondered what could have kept him. When we met back for the BOM, he had joined in with Mack on his run. A little run-in with a deer slowed him down but didn’t prevent him from showing up and posting.

It’s been good to see the first Burner I saw run at the Creek back out again. We’ve missed you McFly. Glad you made it out and that the run-in wasn’t any worse.
