F3 Message 02/25/19 – Excerpts from the Ashes to Beauty Blog By Lily from California. June 13, 2014

To keep in theme of the beat-down using the animals or critters found in the exicon, Q found a teaching from a blog site from a young lady just identified as Lily that calls her blog “Ashes to Beauty”. She identified 10 different animals that we can learn spiritual lessons from….

  1. “Deer – sure footed, graceful and beautiful. Sure-footedness comes from the firm foundation of God in our lives, and the simplicity of God’s way. Gracefulness and beauty comes when we walk in the Spirit.   Our ‘spiritual’ feet like become like the feet of a deer; confident, able to gracefully make it through the obstacles of life.
    32 It is God who arms me with strength
        and keeps my way secure.
    33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
        he causes me to stand on the heights. Psalms 18:32-33 (NIV)”
  2. “Eagle – Soaring, faithful and unafraid of storms. 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)”
  3. “Ants – Hardworking, purposeful, cooperative, foresightful.
    6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
        consider its ways and be wise! Proverb 6:6 (NIV)”
  4. “Lamb and Sheep – Innocent, relational, knows the Shepherd’s voice.
    27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 (NIV)”
  5. “Camel – Persevering, steady pace, sojourner.
    14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 (NIV)”
  6. “Locusts – Powerful when unified, initiative.
    27 locusts have no king,
        yet they advance together in ranks; Proverbs 30:27 (NIV)”
  7. “Dove – Innocent, Harmless, symbolic of peace.
    16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16 (NIV)”
  8. “Sparrow – Trusting, Joyful.
    25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV)”
  9. “Ox – Patient, servant’as heart, knows his Master.
    3 The ox knows its master,
        the donkey its owner’s manger,
    but Israel does not know,
        my people do not understand.” Isaiah 1:3 (NIV)”
  10. “Lion – Strong. bold, fearless, confident. One of Jesus’ titles is the Lion of Judah. The lion denotes great strength, power, majesty, the King of all! Lions are strong, powerful, fearless, bold and confident – qualities that are universally admired, and worthy of emulating. Jesus, is both the Lion and the Lamb. It is an interesting paradox, but it shows the perfect balance between Jesus’ power and authority, as the conquering King – yet at the same time His sacrificial love, goodness, kindness and compassion. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5 (NIV)”

Respectfully Submitted,

Fireplex

Mustard Seed Planted at Mettle of Honor

Leave a comment

It was about 25 degrees out there and working out in the gloom with some wind gusts wasn’t easy at all. So special thanks to the fellow F3 members for showing and supporting my 4th Q. I thought of doing some weights so I request Newton to bring his gear (bricks/blocks) but I changed the day’s theme to track and stack to keep ourselves warm.

QIC: Globetrotter

PAX: Photo Op, Newton, Golden Pinky

GLOOM FACTOR: Dark, Windy, 28ºF

The THANG
Theme – Track and stack. The PAX starts with a jog, stops for an exercise of 10 reps and starts to jogs again. For every new stop we add a new exercise with 10 reps and stack 10 more reps for every exercise we did in prior stop.

Here is the order of exercises listed along with a total count of reps by end of day:

  • LBC (150)
  • Merkins (100)
  • High knees (60)
  • Balls to the walls (Bonus, one time only, single count 40)
  • Mountain climbers (30)
  • Crawl bear up the stairs (Bonus, one time only)
  • Squats (10)
  • Pull ups and Dips (Bonus, one time only, single count 10 set of 4)

String of Pearls

Leave a comment

3/2/2019
QIC: ’88
Weather conditions: 50º and heavy rain.

YHC wanted to take it back to basics with a textbook string of pearls. Exercise, mosey, rinse and repeat using various elements of pain. YHC did my best to mix up the exercises to hit different parts of the body. The rain gave us a light ruck feel as all were completely rain soaked fairly early in the workout.

Here we go…

Capri lap around football stadium track which was to our surprise unlocked this morning!

Naked Moleskin:
5 pax again in the downpour. Ponch was on 2.0 duty while his M is down range for the weekend. Cheers to his efforts on the home front. The rain was no bother other than when it came time to get back into your car. YHC wrung out my outer layers and quite a bit of H2O was returned to the earth. Mud Gear pre order is live, you have until March 8 to get your order in. Run Rocklin Run is coming up in early April and Lincoln Pace Race is beyond that in May.

F3 & Football, that’s what Croc does!

Leave a comment

20190302
Q: Croc

PAX: Brujaja, Burgundy, Cleveland Rocks, Dirty Jobs, Flea, Priorities, Sawdust & Sharkbait

WARMUP: 

  • 25 SSH in cadence
  • high knees (20 yds & back)
  • butt kickers (20 yds & back)
  • karaoke (20 yds & back)
  • lunge walk 20 yds

THE THANG

Today’s workout was based upon my obsession with football so I decided to dip into the playbook and resurrect some of my favorite football practice exercises. Unfortunately we couldn’t tackle each other but maybe next time…

We first split into 2 teams because who doesn’t love competition!

  • Bear Snake Moan: each team started in opposite corners of the end zone, they would bear crawl 10 yards along the sideline then mosey across the field “snaking” to the other sideline (get it? bear snake moan). Repeat until both teams reached the other end zone. Losers did 10 up/downs but SURPRISE the winners were told to do 11, don’t ever let your pride go to your head.
  • Oklahoma races: one man from each team lined up next to each other on their backs. Upon the whistle, both would roll up, sprint 10 yds, touch the line and race back to the starting line. Winner stays to run again, loser did 5 up/downs. Rest of the PAX held planks until it was their turn to race.
  • Wind sprints: sideline to sideline! First sprint established a baseline, one up/down for every second it took the PAX to get across the field. Next, we did 10 sprints in total each time having to do an up/down for every second we fell behind the baseline. Q gave some relief by adding a second after a couple of sprints and we did there and backs for our last 2 sprints.
  • Last exercise was 3 man sled drives for 10 yds (repeat twice)
  • Closed out with the Croc staple of 15 min of ultimate frisbee

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