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 Mary was cut short since we burned up all our time doing squats. It was a glorious smoke-fest after the big murph practice. Turned out to be a fine morning for F3. More of a mist than a rain. Golden Pinky brought his A game with vest and we knocked out another murph with time to spare. Keep the EH’s going and we look forward to our next post on Monday. SYITG fellas.

The Thang:
Split into 2 teams.

Each team had 3 bowling balls, 4 cinderblocks, and 1 60 lbs sandbag.

The goal: be the first team to transport all objects 100m to the opposite end of the field.

Rounds 1 + 2: Run
Round 3: Crab Walk

It pays to be a winner.
Loser’s penalty = 10 burpees.
Winners plank while they watch.


The catch: every PAX had to carry an egg the entire time. If your egg broke, 20 extra burpees for everyone.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1 Peter 5:6‭-‬10 ESV
A good affirmation that you are not alone in your struggles. There is season for everything. God will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

We had just finished the warm up and a guy innocently walks up and we invite him to join us. Turns out it was FNG Hydro who had signed up for the race on our team. I wish I could retell his EH story it is pretty amazing. Think along the lines of hearing about Ferris Bueller’s sickness…”My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with this girl…” He jumped right in and we are glad he did.

What a great Saturday. 9 pax total with 2 more FNGs which makes 4 weeks in a row now. For those keeping score at home that is 6 FNGs in the past month! Keep giving it away and let’s grow this thing. Fizz Stick and FNG Jacopo showed up in a fancy clown car. Fizz Stick’s wife had just earned a new certain car of German engineering. He also came bearing actual fizz sticks for the pax.

Race report: 5 of our pax ran the Lincoln PACE race. Ponch, Rabbit, Hobo and ’88 ran the 10k and Hydro ran the 5k. All in all a great representation of F3 Rocklin in the race. Ponch and Rabbit both placed in their age divisions like they did at the Run Rocklin event in April. Great job guys!

Announcements:

  • F3 Dads has been postponed so we can get more pax available to participate. Stay tuned for a new date.

Firefighter Honor Ruck

After looking at all the WOD entailed, I expected at least an hour to complete so I put out the challenge for a 5am WOD to kick the day off right. Until late in the evening there were no HC so I was prepared to roll solo. To share in the love 3 PAX joined to honor our firefighters.

PAX: Fridge, Skater, Sunspot (Q)

FIREFIGHTER HONOR RUCK WOD:

150 – 12″ box step-ups

100m Ruck Drag

50OH Ruck Press

100m Bear Crawl (ruck on)

150m Suitcase Carry

3 mile Ruck as fast as possible

MOLESKIN:

I always wanted to be a firefighter when I was a kid. Granted I think most kids want to do that. Now days there is no way I could stomach what they have to deal with on a daily basis. Hat’s off to the men and women who are out there fighting the good fight each and everyday to help the community. Here is how I looked at the WOD… The step-ups represent that looooong ladder that the firefighters have to take to save innocent people in a 10 story building. Sometimes we can’t carry the people out so we ‘ruck’ drag them out to safety. But when you can carry them, it takes shoulder strenght to ‘press’ them up onto your back. When their is smoke in the room, what did we learn in school??? Stop, drop, and roll. So we bearcrawled our way to find survivors. You carry gear on your back, but you sometimes have to carry another load of gear in so your “suitcase” comes in handy. And well, what would a ruck WOD be without some mileage, so we pounded out some distance. Time taken was 1hr 15min to complete this all.

Great push today Skater and it was great to see you out and catch up on life. I can definitely tell your spirits are significantly higher than they were before. God is good my friend. Fridge, great to have you with as this hopefully was a good release of stress and everything else going on in life. You were quiet but pushing hard, which is a good thing. I hope your back starts to feel better! God will give you strength through all that is upon you right now.

Thanks for working hard with me this morning guys! Only 4 more WOD’s to earn that patch. #GetSome

Until next time, Sunspot OUT!

F3 Message 05/07/19

Below are excerpts from the blog site ActiveChristianity.org by Brunstad Christian Church in reference to Forgiveness.

Forgiving others can be really difficult

“Forgiving others is important, but sometimes it can be really difficult to do. Why should I forgive, and how can I do it?

“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” Matthew 18:21-22.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15.

Forgiving others who have wronged you, whether for a relatively small thing, or for a seriously damaging act against you, can sometimes seem like an insurmountably difficult thing to do. In some cases it’s a process that really takes time. Yet, the Bible is crystal clear on the necessity of it. And there are no caveats such as “unless,” “if,” or “but.” As in all things, we need to look to our Forerunner, Captain, and Master as our example.

“Father forgive them”

Christ suffered unrighteousness—even cruel unrighteousness. No one could have suffered more unrighteously than Christ. And some of the last words He ever uttered were: “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.” Is it easy? No. Is it impossible? “All things are possible to him who believes,” said Jesus. (Mark 9:23) All things.

And when you don’t have the power, when you know that it is not in you to forgive, then you have to find it in Christ. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:12-13. Does forgiving negate the pain you have suffered? Does it reverse the things that have happened to you? Does it mean the person who wronged you doesn’t have to take responsibility for his/her actions? No, but you will be free from the thoughts of hatred and bitterness and the burden they are. Forgiveness is not only done for the sake of the one you are forgiving, but for your own sake, so that you don’t have to live with the burden.

“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.” Malachi 4:2.

The fact that you forgive someone does not condone what they have done, nor does it by any means make it all right. Trust is not implicit in forgiveness, nor is forgetting obligatory. “Forgive and forget” is not a Biblical quote. It is one thing to be wary and aware, and another thing to hate and resent.

God is righteous

Ideally the one who has harmed you would repent and atone for what they’ve done as well. But make sure your healing is independent of that. You should forgive regardless of their attitude. Their sins are between them and God. It is right for someone to face up to the consequences of their actions according to earthlyRefers to everything of this earth, as opposed to heavenly things. Example: Earthly treasures/heavenly treasures. The earthly things pass away (are temporal), but the heavenly things are eternal. (Matthew 6:19-21;authority and law, and they will also someday stand before God’s face and have to give account for their actions, and God is righteous above all else. But judgment and vengeance belong to God.

It is important to note that forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a choice. Choosing forgiveness will mean that you have to go to God on your knees for the power to forgive. It’s choosing not to let thoughts of hatred rule in your heart. It’s choosing to go to God to find help and comfort instead of dwelling on the past, even when our feelings would rather do anything but. The power we need for this we get from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, “when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.” 1 Peter 2:23.

Draw near to God, and in His love you’ll find everything you need.”

Respectfully Submitted,

Fireplex
