Warm-o-rama- PAX circled up for 20 SSH IC, 20 seal jacks IC, 20 cherry pickers IC and 20 windmills IC
Started Beat Down immediately on our 6 doing 30 LBC IC, Followed by 30 Big Boys OYO, and finally we held superman for 30 count IC.
PAX moseyed 1/4 mile to baseball diamond GUMP had the pleasure of striking out many times on 25 years ago where we began a modified “The Cycle Routine”. PAX began at home plate, bear crawled to first base. At first base We preformed 10 merkins and 10 flutter kicks IC. PAX then crawl bared to home plate. From home plate we bear crawled around first base to second base where we then performed 20 merkins and 20 flutter kicks IC followed by a cozy crawl bear back the way we came. Finally we bear crawled around the baseball diamond all the way to 3rd base where we did, yup you got it 30 merkins and 30 flutter kicks IC and once we crawl bared all the way back the way we came to home plate we reached our F3 message.
The F3 message came out of the NKJV Holy Bible. QIC Gump read Isaiah 40: 28-31 :Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Habakkuk 3:17-19: A Hymn of Faith 17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— 18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 [a]The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.
After F3 Message QIC Gump utilized the baseball diamond with the time we had left and we played a modified cooper routine we ran laps around the baseball field and once we reached home plate we did 10 LBC flutterkicks while feet are flutterkicking PAX does number of LBCs. after exercise we moseyed around the field again and did 8, then 7, wash rince repeat until we reached 5. It was getting close to time to head back to AO so we played Burpee catch me if you can, or cant…….where PAX at back of Indian Run line drops and does 5 burpees while the others keep on running, once HIM catches pack last man drops back and does 5 burpees. We showed up right at 0600 where we circled up for count, and name o rama, followed by announcements and prayer!!
Warm Up: SSH 25x, Cherry Picker 25x, Mountain Climber 25x, Bobby Hurley 25x, Moroccan Night Club 25x
The Thang: Great Britain is in a self inflicted constitutional crisis because of Brexit, the ongoing effort to implement the results of a very close 2017 referendum where citizens decided to jump out of the European Union without knowing what it would cost and what the consequences might be. For two years, politicians have struggled to reach a deal with the EU that Parliament would approve. Two Prime Ministers have resigned after failing to reach an acceptable deal and the new PM’s plans were rejected by Parliament this week. Our PAX decided to work it all out this morning and each HIM / Member of Parliament could vote to (1) leave EU, (2) call for new referendum, or (3) stay in EU. The workout was wrapped around 6 key Brexit moments as follows:
(1) PM May to Brusels – Gets Compromise Deal: MPs do overhead cinder block presses and cinder block Lt. Dan’s.
(2) Parliament Rejects May Compromise Deal: MPs in two groups – one on wall doing block squats and the other doing 40 seconds of SSH, Squats, and Bobby Hurleys followed by 20 second rest period. Group run around block.
(3) Boris Replaces May – Promises Complete EU Withdrawal: MP groups change roles. Group run with 30 – 60 – 90 acceleration run.
(4) Coalition Forms – No EU withdrawal without Parliament ok: MPs in two groups – one doing merkins, derkins, and block presses. Other group does 40 second LBC, American Hammers, and Big Boys. Twenty second rest after each.
(5) Boris Purges Party of Unfaithful Pro EU Conservatives: MP groups switch assignments.
(6) (Proud) Queen Mary Elizabeth Tells MPs to Grow Up and Resolve It: During Circle of Pain, MPs issue Brexit votes —— 3 for Immediate EU exit, 2 for new referendum, 3 for staying in EU.
F3 MESSAGE: (1). Before you vote, know what you are voting for. (2). Don’t let little things in politics (work, life, family) become constitutional crises. (3). Just cause you got up on the high dive by mistake, it’s still ok to get back down.
Break into 2 groups: G1 takes a lap around the Library while G2 does Erkins with an alternating K2E (knee to elbow). Groups 1 & 2 switch when Mosie groups has returned. (x2).

WHETSTONE (Q1.8) March 31, 2019 by Dancing Idiot.
A man must be sharpened like a knife blade. Both a man and a knife are made to cut, but neither can be effective until properly honed. A knife is sharpened by a whetstone. While water is used to lubricant the whetstone prior to sharpening, that is not where the “whet” part comes from. To whet actually means to sharpen, like with a man’s appetite and curiosity. In other words, to whet both blade and man is to put on an edge, with a result that is sharp, dynamic, and ready to cut. The unsharpened man is dull and lethargic, in-effective as a leader and I’ll-prepared for the obstacles he will face in his life.
Just as a man’s appetite for pure food must be whetted, so must his appetite for the heavy responsibility that comes with leadership. The HIM acts as the stone to the younger man’s blade, providing the hard surface against which he becomes sharper and whetting his appetite for greater responsibility.
Through the whetstone, the blade receives something he lacked before, a honed edge to his life that he must posses to be effective and have impact on his community. But the stone gets something as well. In fulfilling his natural desire to pour into younger men he accelerates his own pursuit of proper personal alignment.

F3 Message 09/03/19 – From Ron Hutchcraft Ministries
Why you Matter So Much to the People You Know – #7856
Monday, February 20, 2017
“You sit there staring at the phone for forty-five minutes. There’s this girl you really want to ask out, but every time you try to pick up the phone to call her, you freeze. Finally, you realize she probably isn’t going to call you, and the phone isn’t going to call her all by itself. So, you punch in her number. Are you still afraid? Yes. But courage is not the absence of fear; it’s the disregard of it! So here goes! Yes, that actually was my life at one time.
That
battle with fear must be exponentially greater when there’s a life-or-death
situation where you could make a difference. Like the day a commuter flight
crashed on takeoff from the Lexington, Kentucky airport. Fifty passengers; only
one survived-the co-pilot. He owes his life to three emergency workers who were
there as the flames began to engulf the plane. They said the heat from
thousands of gallons of flaming jet fuel was almost overwhelming. There was a
lot of reason to be afraid. But they went in anyway. One of the workers put it
this way: “We just knew we had to get him out of there.” He’s alive
today because they did.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Why You
Matter So Much to the People You Know.”
If
you belong to Jesus Christ, you’ve probably heard sermons about how you’re
supposed to “witness” and “share your faith.” Well,
research shows that only a small, really small percentage of us Christians ever
tell anyone what we know about Jesus Christ. If it’s just
“witnessing” or “sharing your faith,” it’s one thing not to
do it. If it’s the difference between someone within your reach living or
dying, it’s something much bigger. And that’s exactly what it is-life-or-death.
There’s
a simple eight-word command in Jude
23.
It is our word for today from the Word of God. It captures the urgency of the
mission that God has assigned to every believer. Here are your orders and mine:
“Snatch others from the fire and save them.” The fire is the awful
eternity that awaits anyone you know who doesn’t know your Jesus.
Jesus
took the punishment for their sins so they wouldn’t have to, but they have to
put their trust in Him. And to do that, they have to understand what Jesus did
for them on the cross. And someone’s going to have to tell them about that;
someone who knows this Jesus; someone who knows them. You have that information
upon which their eternity depends. And because you’re already a part of their life,
they’re more likely to listen to you than probably any other Christian on
earth.
It’s our fear, isn’t it though, that keeps us from going in for the rescue?
What can help you overcome that fear, the fear that’s kept you from telling
people you know about your Jesus, maybe over and over again? First,
understanding that this really is life-or-death; not just sharing your beliefs
with someone.
Without
Jesus, the Bible says, they will “be punished with everlasting destruction
and shut out from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). He doesn’t want
that. He died so that wouldn’t have to happen, but they need to know that.
Secondly,
you have to realize that fear always goes with rescue; rescue always means
risk. It did for Jesus-it does for you. The fear is real, but it doesn’t have
to decide what you do. Listen to the words of the man who went into that burning
plane, “We just knew we had to get him out of there.”
That’s
what will open your mouth. Deciding that whatever you’re risking to tell them
about Jesus, it can’t be anywhere near as terrible as what will happen if you
don’t tell them. You can’t just leave them lost. You can’t just let them die
without a chance. You’re in a position to rescue them.
This isn’t just witnessing. This isn’t just sharing your faith. It’s rescuing the dying. Thank God you were snatched from the fire. Now it’s your turn to “snatch others from the fire and save them.”

Once we reached home plate we did 10 burpees, 10 squats, 10 merkins, and 10 Big boys, followed by another lap around baseball field only to do 9 of each, rince and repeat until we passed 5 burpees, 5 squats, 5 merkins, and 5 Big boys where we read the F3 Message.
John 15 1-17:
John 15 1-17 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another.
After a short Bible message we continued the Cooper routine until all PAX reached 0 For a total of 11 Laps around the baseball field 55 burpees, 55 squats, 55 merkins, and 55 bigboys. We finished our beatdown with a COT

THE
THANG
-Mosey to
the bottom of the La Mesa hill.
-Performed
“failure to launch” which is performing a slow squat to a countdown from 10. Upon
reaching one all pax “launch” by jumping into the air. We performed this until the
first pax ‘failed to launch’ and feet remained on the ground. Perhaps this was
around rep 6 or 7…..
-Indian
Run up the hill with a coupon [35lbs kettlebell]. The Q pulled out a few pre-staged
kettlebells. We began a modified Indian run, the pax in the rear would carry
the kettlebell and sprint up to the front of the line, once the pax got to the
front he passed the kettlebell back amongst the line. The last pax then
sprinted to the front….
Begining our run of Mt. Suribachi

Words
of Wisdom
“We only have one story. All novels, all poetry are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil.” -John Steinbeck
Ended
with Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, COT, Coffeeteria
Warm Up: Side Strattle Hops IC, Cherry Pickers IC, Seal Jacks IC, Windmills IC
The Thang: The Escalator with 6 pain stations.
The way this works is that you start with 10 reps of an exercise at the first station. At the next station you add 20 reps of a different exercise to the first. At the next station you add 30 reps of another exercise and so on. Our exercises were as follows. 10 Burpees, 20 Australian Snow Angels, 30 E2Ks each side, 40 squats, 50 high knees, and 60 LBCs. Australian Snow Angels is when you lay on your belly in the superman position and then move like you are making snow angels.
The Message: I talked about how my M was attacked by a dog and how God and her self defense training protected her. I read a few verses about God’s protection and wisdom’s protection. The take away is two fold protection. We need to be wise and depend on God. The verses are here.
