Sign up for Ft Mill Care Center Lawn Duty. It’s summertime and the grass is growing. Get a partner and get it done – easy duty. Tortoise and Hare this weekend and Hog and Coyote (Rock Hill) next weekend for you CSAUP enthusiasts. Read your newsletter!

COT:
Prayers for family traveling, praise for young children’s birthdays.

Each AO has a distinct vibe. Slow Burn has a relaxed vibe because it’s well-lit, it’s moderate, which encourages (I think) more mumble chatter, and it’s on Fridays so the Pax are excited for the weekend ahead. It’s usually a fun workout and even more fun to Q it. I enjoyed the Q this morning, and I met some guys today in person, who I have only seen on Slack video (<@U07LMG5PDQU>, <@U08BNRBQ9D1>). The pax were in good spirits, and it was a pleasure to lead them. The rain stayed at bay, but we did have <@U08G28Z7E> today (see how I did that). Thank you again, <@U04M7P605SM> for the invite, and I look forward to the next one.

Triangle of Trust (TOT)

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy around the parking lot followed by Moroccan Night Clubs, Merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Slowzy to the closed dental office and formed a plank line. Completed 4 plank jacks, dips, shoulder taps, and Supermans. Side shuffle and repeat for 8 reps, then 16, then 32.
We moved to the wall and enjoyed the light rain with seated Jack Webbs. Everyone assumed the wall sit position for overhead claps followed by merkins. 4 OC/1 Merkin, 8/2, 12/3,…40/10. Quick walk to get our legs back underneath us then back to the wall for wall sits. First person bear crawled out for 5 CDD and bear crawled back for the next person to go. Next round was monkey humpers then we switched to BTW for a rotating 10 count.
Walked to the drainage area to pick out a rock of your own choosing for 7s to Dogtopia and back. Overhead presses and dips were the exercises. YHC is nursing a bum leg and did LBCs and flutters during the run portion of the 7s.
With limited time left we returned to drop off the rocks and did 20 triceps presses. To balance our arms out, we did 20 curls before returning the rocks unharmed.
MARY: Nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming events
COT: TOT (Triangle of Trust) turned into a LOT (line of trust) when Grassy needed to leave. Prayers and praises from both Pax remaining.

https://f3nation.com/get-right is never over because “The Time is Always Now.”

If something isn’t solid in your world, what are you gonna do about it? The time is now.
Put aside your ego, doubts, fears, worry, hesitations, past, limiting beliefs, and get started. The time is now.
You know what needs to be done. Gentlemen, the time is now.

“There is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge
is in the moment, the time is always now.”
—James Baldwin

Grateful to share the gloom with you this morning
