14 faithful arrived at The Pantheon (Pan-every Theon-divinity), some for an early run and extra credit, some just for a slice of pie from YHC, Cake Boss. As always I am humbled and honored to lead an F3 workout. it never gets old and I never take it for granted that I have an audience of men that came out at 5am in the morning for a quality workout and fellowship. I know there are many choices in the gloom, not only F3 choices, but other venues and options that men can participate, but when they choose to attend an F3 AO that I am Qing, I pray that I give them my best in all 3 Fs…..Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. The definition of Pantheon is to every god, as F3 is open to all faiths. Know there is something more & bigger than yourself! I am 3rd!

The Thang:

Light Jog out to Gold Hill Road, down the hill to the amphitheater

COP: 4 sets of these 5 exercises. I must say the I surrenders were a crowd pleaser.

10-Extreme Mtn Climbers (OYO)

10-Inch worm push ups (OYO)

10-Clam Shells (hands to instep) (Cadence)

10-Seal jacks (Cadence)

10-I surrenders (hands up, go to knees and stand back up) (OYO)

Mosey to the large field in the middle of the AO.

We spent a good amount of time here. I talked to the men about how we feel the need to play with fire. It could be putting a match out with our fingers or adjusting the logs on the camp fire with our bare hands…..bottom line is we think we can handle it and no harm is done, until we get burnt or worse. Sin in our lives is the same. We think we can handle things and no harm is being done until our life is engulfed in flames and we are looking for relief and medication. More to come……. 

60 yards apart. Start with one exercise, then run 60 yards, add the next exercise, then run, add the 3rd exercise and so on doing all 12 exercises on the last run. # of reps for each precedes the exercise.  

1-Merkins

2-SSHs

3-double count flutters

4-Freddy Mercs

5-Burpees

6-Squats

7-LBCs

8-plank jacks

9-diamond Merkins

10-donkey kicks

11-lunges

12-monkey humpers

Quads were feeling those last 3 exercises at the end, Some felt the need for competition and were racing each other, and some wanted to just complete the work. Either way, everyone did a great job and once again, I am humbled to lead such a great PAX.

So we make choices to do certain things in our lives that we think don’t harm anyone, like have a few drinks too many, using words that are not of the best vocabulary, looking at women other than our wives with lust and desire….on and on and next thing we know we are dealing with a blazing fire at home, work all around us and we say…..how did I get here? One choice or decision after another gets us to where we are. Make godly decisions men and honor the promises you made and live to honor your creator not any creation.

I look forward to posting at The Pantheon again soon. It is a great AO and PAX out there!!

Finish Strong!
