For my two FIAs 2.0s that were visiting and the rest of the PAX: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

NMM:

An Honor to lead this group of men. Thanks for the hospitality you’ve shown while I’ve been on the West Coast. Y’all have a beautiful place.

Sorry for the 100 in cadence SSHs. I got very distracted looking out of the ocean while calling cadence and just kept going. I hope y’all didn’t mind too much.

Glad to have Brother at-Law join us from Nashville. You performed like a true Southern Gentleman and killed this workout.

Shark Bait is a beast and had the most vertical BTTW of any of the guys out there. It was almost as Impressive as Cleveland Rocks hand over hand walking down the wall and then hanging from his toes.

I wanted to get this BB out while every thing was still fresh in my mind but work travel got in the way and I’ve forgotten the remainder of the stuff I wanted to put in here.

Great JOB guys. Keep Growing and Pushing one another. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Triple Nickel

This is a beat the clock exercise.  The workout is broken into 5 min sets.  Each rep is 1 min long.  During the rep you must complete 10 squats, 10 merkins, and 10 crunches.  If you finish within the minute you rest until the minute is elapsed.  The faster you complete the rep the more rest you get.  If you do not complete the rep in the allotted one min you immediately move on to the new rep.

After 5 reps, one running lap around the field.

Complete three, 5 min sets (5,5,5 or triple nickel).

Words of wisdom:

“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.” Proverbs 3: 5-6

Never take on impossible tasks alone.  Rely on your friends, break it into manageable pieces, and rely on God.  The workout today resulted in 150 squats, merkins, and crunches.  But it was not done in one shot, it was spread out to make it manageable.  We pushed each other through because that is what is expected of friends.  We finish with a prayer because we know God was helping us through.

Hello Dollys

Mosey one lap slow
Meet back in at the end zone

100 yards the hard way.

Start on the goal lines. Sprint to the 10 yard line and do 10 x merkins, sprint back to the goal. Everyone waits to start the next portion. Sprint to the 20 yard line and do 10 x flutter kicks, sprint back to the goal. Continue this to the other goal.

What goes up must come back….. 100 yards the hardway … in reverse. Sprint to the 100 yard line, 10 x merkins, sprint back. Sprint to the 90 yard line and do 10 x flutter kicks, sprint back. Continue this until you are home free.

THE THANG
Always looking for new ways to challenge eachother I came up with the following workout after hearing (joke) complaints from one of my fellow PAX during the Saturday Post.

Using a deck of cards we broke up into two groups of three.
One member drew a card with a workout printed on it (From the “F3 Beat Down Deck”).
They then state a number they believe that they can accomplish.
The other two members can then call B.S. in order and state a higher number (minimum increment of 5)
OR
Each member can claim a pass
HOWEVER
The members that pass must draw a new card from the deck and execute the new workout until the original PAX has completed their set number of workouts.

To help clarify cards: Any distance cards served as a “break” and all PAX executed a run around the soccer field after completing the next workout.

Ended with Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, COT

MOLESKIN
I came up with this workout without the full set of rules worked out in my head and it worked out fairly well. The competition was great and my muscles are definitely feeling it.

Beach’s Spring Wing Ding Patio Party is coming up. You can message myself or him if you need details.
He also just sent out the following amplifications

“Hello Party People! Forecast for Saturday says 65 degrees, cloudy, 10% precipitation, and 11mph winds. If the forecast happens to turn bad by Saturday I will postpone to a later date. Expecting 22+ people. Parking may be challenging, you may have to walk a few blocks. I apologize in advance and will seek your forgiveness with free beer or a wise-crack at my expense. I’m open for business at 1pm or anytime after. Some ppl are asking if it is okay to bring their kids. Absolutely! I have some board games and nintendo if they need entertainment. If it starts getting chilly, I have a patio heater that looks like it got tortured by wind….because it was. Can’t wait to see y’all !!”


Also, for those that weren’t there Saturday, I took over second F coordinator I will be looking at setting up monthly thing for us all to get together and relax a little, this month will be Beach’s party though, so get there!  
Spartan Race is coming up! Don’t forget!
The 27th is going to be a busy day alot of opportunities.

Q School in San Francisco Area (See e-mail or ask me)
Also there is going to be a BBQ for anyone interested put on by some friends and I in Fort Ord area starting about 4:30 (you do not have to live in the area)

LEXICON: Word of the day-
BE THE BACON –
An exhoratation to another Pax (or to oneself) to improve attitude, to not take things seriously that don’t warrant being taken seriously, and in general to approach life in a positive way. It is the belief of The Nation that no one hates Bacon. No one is sad to see Bacon. Even vegetarians and vegans probably like the smell of bacon, and would likely eat tofu bacon (if there is such a thing). Basically, it means to make yourself and your personality as agreeable and as widely loved as Bacon.
