7 of the bravest confirmed that rain does not bother them and lifting things up and pushing yourself to places unknown is not a fear of theirs. the buzzing was the rain hitting the house, car and my head in da gloom. It was wet and chilly and down right PERFECT for a kettle bell beat down. I have always found that in 3 years of F3, the worse part of a rainy workout is getting out of my house. Once I’m committed that rain is actually refreshing and enjoyable. At least that is what I tell myself. The real enjoyment is the fellowship of my brothers and locking shields and accomplishing a hard task, having fun and praying for each other……Can’t wait for my next post!!

The Thang:

Nice jog down to FMHS football stadium and out the back entrance (nice hill climb), down Munn Road and back in the student parking lot. It was wet and dark, but we got the lungs opened up for what was coming up next.

4sets of exercises with a lap around the parking after each set of reps.

12 reps – run, 10 reps – run, 8 reps-run

KB Swing

Bent row

Figure 8

Plank

Next Set

Goblet squat

Lunge press (crowd pleaser)

Russian twist

Push up

Next Set

Single arm benchpress

Deadlift

Military press

Curls

COP:

20 LBCs, 10 Peter Parkers, 15 Parker Peters

For those that need help with the math, that is 12 exercises, 30 reps of each exercise and 12 laps around the lot with no 10 counts and little chatter…..these men worked hard and got it done.

Great fellowship this morning. Thanks to Longshanks for the opportunity. We talked about being at low points and deadends and choices we make. Sometimes we feel we are at the end of our rope, but we always have a choice. We can sit and cry or worry or we can pick ourselves up, reach out to our brothers next to us and ask SKY Q to come into our lives and give us strength to push through. Put on the big boy pants men and call on SKY Q and put up the good fight!

Prayers to all that are sick, suffering and dealing with difficult situations. Life is hard but we can have hope in the one that gave it all for us!!

Cake Boss – see you in da gloom!!
