14 PAX came to the HQ of The Fort at Walter Elisha Park for their Daily Red Pill. Weather was perfect as the fall coolness settled in and the sun rose over the wide open range……No idea what I’m talking about, but Rebel took the Q and I got real lightheaded after that!

The Thang:

Mosey around track with 2 stops for warm up -SSH, Imp Walker, Seal jacks, wind mill. High knees, butt kickers

Reg mosey to small Springs lot. More warm up- merkin, MC, Peter Parker.

Mosey up big hill to top lot and partner up.

Combine for 100 merkins while partner runs hill – Then 150 squats – Series of sprints across parking lot. Hand off

We discussed the importance of not falling into the trap of comparison and the many pitfalls. It leads us down empty roads and distracts us from what God really has planned for each of us. Bottom line is we all fall short….every single one of us…..so comparing to earthy treasures and fortunes that fade or give false hope only leave us empty inside. Focus on being what God made you to be and give that 100% of your attention.

Hand Off………..

Cake Boss emptied out the back of the truck for markers in the wet dewy grass. Some cones and a gas tank was all we needed to mark the “STAR of DEATH”…..unlike the “Death Star” that was not even in the shape of a star and was lame because wimpy Luke Skywalker blew it up. Santini and Gump tried to break this “STAR of DEATH” up but it was futile!!

The Thang:

Start in the middle (Gas Can), do 5 6inch/ab crunches (lift legs six inches and do 5 crunches). Start at 1 of 4 columns of cones and do each exercise written on cone. At the end of the line, sprint to center and do 5 6inch/ab crunches again and move to next set of exercises. First Round, bear crawl to each cone (6-10feet apart). Second Round, crab walk to each cone

First Column

10 –  inch worm merkins

Around the world plank crawl

20 – leg lifts 

Second Column

10 – Apollo Ono

15 – lunge Hops

20 – sumo squats

Third Column

10 – CDDs

15 – merkins

20 – wide arm merkins

Fourth Column

10 – Peter Parkers

15 – plank ski hops

20 – donkey kicks

Rinse and repeat and swap Bear Crawls for Crab Walks. This was a crowd pleaser because the grass was about a foot deep and we might as well be in a pool since the dew was laying thick. We were wet!!

Rebel talked about the issues with comparing ourselves to others and the roads that can lead us down. YHC added that when we are more focused on the others around us and the paths they seem to be on compared to ours, we are not giving God our 100% focus and attention. God laid a path for each one of us, some rough and bumpy and some smooth as a baby’s bottom, but whatever it is we need to stay focused on HIS will and HIS plan for our lives and not worry or focus on those around us. How do we do this?? Be in the Word, Prayer and community in a church/lifegroup and F3 PAX!! Play to an audience of ONE and not to others around us.

Mosey to Springs Parking lot for few more Mountain climbers, ab exercises and the off to COT

Was a great PAX and morning working our bodies, souls and minds!! FNG ‘Shania” from Nashville will probably be looking for some new friends, since the ones he was visiting have a weird definition to hospitality. Hope Shania meets up with our F3 brothers in the Music City, thanks for coming out!
