Disclaimer, 1 FNG “who will now be forever known as Olive Oil”, and welcome to #The SwampF3 , Cable Guy, Gears, Gecko, and the PAX really have built momentum at this AO.

I got on the twitter machine Thursday night and figured it would be a lightly attended AO Friday as the #OCR are taking over F3 (do you really need to taper for a 45 minute race?). I might have even offered a bribe of a “high quality” F3 koozie for whoever showed up. Gear’s got the award for noticing my beverage of choice…(I have been “Dry” since 9/1/1990, that is the day I left for war, long story, but feel free to ask me about it, as I believe abstaining from alcohol has made my faith stronger)

This was a VQ for Jerry Lewis who is a #HIM joining the #USAF in June and appears to have a high quality military career ahead of him. It was an honor for me to align this at #CablGuy’s AO, who is a #USAF veteran, no other Marines joined me for this workout, but we all know who is always “First to Fight”…..AYE!

Since I am on Q = we started running

COP near the side of Target

SSH, IW, Squats, Seal Jacks, Windmills, and a couple of others as a very quick warmup…you’re welcome because my chiropractor thinks I need it…#old.

Mosey to Penn Sub Shop parking lot for a series of down and backs

Hand release (CSPAN style) pushups, sprinting forward routine, bear crawl / crab walk routine, sprinting backwards routine, burpee routine, partner push and partner pull routine…overall a pretty awful way to spend 15 minutes.

Quick discussion on #HIM, the #HIM above us and that resides inside of us, and the power of letting #HIM inside you shining through your activities. We transitioned to a discussion on aligning ourselves with other #HIM. We then had an introduction of Jerry Lewis who is a young man well on his way to being a #HIM.

Hand the Q to Jerry Lewis

Mosey back to Best Buy to pick up a wonderful coupon (30 pound chunk of log)

Peoples chair passing the log back and forth…(crowd pleaser)

Circle up for squatfest passing the log around the circle (real crowd pleaser)

Transition to group Americans, a display of lattice work, horrible form, and T-Claps to whoever got Cake Boss’s legs (overall painful with excellent chatter)

ABLAB = LBC, mine sweeper, and several others

COT

Prayer & Praise, BOM, and a post fellowship

C&W2 had 13 strong = great Q by Gears

Moleskin:

Always an honor to Q, appreciate the honor to lock shields with Jerry Lewis, here is everything in my notes:

• #OCR this weekend = prays for safe travels and races
• 4/18/15 & 4/25/15 Gastonia #Clowncar
• 4/30/15F3 Golf and just ask Package or Menthol as The Fort is defending champions = see Package for Teams and details
• 5/2/15 1 year Anniversary of rock hill with Dredd & OBT
• 5/25/15 Memorial Day Murph at NAFO at 0640 read pre-blast posted this week
• If you haven’t Q’d , step up, it is what makes F3 work
• #HIM = High Impact Man
• #NoFatPants = Once you make the physical change of F3, burn the ship and those fat pants as there is no going back. A man who can’t get his 1^st F on track will never get his 2^nd and 3^rd Fs online
• Read “Freed to Lead” here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Freed-To-Lead-Unshackling-Modern-day-ebook/dp/B00JJQB2Z8
• Always make the 1^st F too hard, the 2^nd and 3^rd F will come only with deliberate leadership
• Appreciate the enthusiasm, and get your twitter account going, and follow me @CSPANF3 & @F3TheFort

CSPAN – over & out
