10 Men arrived to The Reservation for a morning exercise routine. However with Flat Tire and YHC, other than the 5 core F3 elements, there is nothing routine about Indianland beat downs.

Flat Tire took the Q and opened up with the Prodigal Son story. It has a lot to say about how we all think we know better than our parents and especially our heavenly Father, and we go off and do it our own way. At some point we find ourselves neck deep in the nasty and ask ourselves….what am I doing?? I turned away from my father and I am a mess. More to come on this story…..

The Thang:

Nice 1/2 mile mosey to back side of school grounds for some COP

SSHs, Imperial walkers, squats, merkins, peter parkers, CDDs, parker peters, mountain climbers moracan night clubs, probably missing something as I blacked out I think

mosey to football field

Back to story…….The son realized he was better off at home and went to ask for forgiveness. His father welcomed him with open arms and threw a huge party as his son was “saved”. We are never too far gone to come home to the father who will welcome us as we repent from the selfish sinful ways of our past. Don’t ever think that your past is too bad for God to overlook, as he wipes our past clean with our faith in his son Jesus.

So now that Flat Tire is warmed up, he wanted to stretch us out:

100 yard run – 10 burpees – 100 yard run – LBCs

100 yard run – 15 burpees – 100 yard run – freddy murcurys

100 yard run – 20 burpees – 100 yard run – flutters

Once we all got our sight back and could focus (except pebbles who was yawning)…..hand off to YHC

Mosey to Dragon’s Crack…..I think it’s called…..

I added to Flat Tire’s story of we all make a mess in our life at some point and the challenge is to the PAX, “WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?” What are you going to do next? Cry over your mess…..act like no big deal……blame everyone else around you for your circumstances? Our past does not make us…..it builds us into the men God wants us to be…..we can take our mess to the cross and be forgiven and turn our lives over to God and live according to his will and plan. It’s what we do next that matters not what we have done.

At the bottom of the Dragon= 1 burpee – middle of dragon=2 Bomb Jacks – Top of dragon=3merkins

7 rounds adding a rep of each exercise each round….for you math majors that would be 7 burpees, 8 bomb jacks and 9 merkins at end of running the back 7 times

Wall sits on dugout until 6 is done

Count off in 1’s and 2’s –

1’s-20 dips & 20 derkins while 2’s wall sits 4 rounds flap jacking each round

1’s-one leg squats (10reps each leg) 2’s ab exercise 2 rounds flap jack each round

Moesy to parking lot:

1’s pick up coupons for lap around parking lot while 2’s do abs and then flap jack – Complete this for 6 mins
