MILGA does the Hive

Noticeably absent was Deep Dish

– partner sit ups, farmer carries, back to back passes
– 5 rounds of 10 curls, 10 tri, 10 swings

lots of mumberchatter, yall should incorporate more f2 into life. its not just about working out

Word from the Bird:
3 zones and 3 types of people attend F3. We all have a reason and none is more valid than the other. Some guys are there to work out, others to talk none stop for 45 minutes straight, …. then there is the third group. This group endures your hard charging can do workout attitude, and the guy that never shuts up. Why do they do this?

They do it for the 20 seconds in COT they get to speak their heart and mind. It may be the only opportunity they get that day or week to share something in a safe space.

Don’t sleep on the importance of this guy because he isn’t sleeping on your importance. I also ask to honor this guy and his time. He dealt with all your shit for 45 minutes so give him his 30 seconds. You don’t have to speak, just listen.

That is enough.

MILGA WRAP at Lazarus

Last WO of the year at Lazarus.

Poppins had EH’d an F&G, so a proper disclosure was given with an introduction to FOOPC. We did a short warm‑up in the parking lot while getting to know F&G, then headed to the circuit.

Mapped a quarter‑mile loop using Google Maps’ measure feature, with four stations and four different exercises at each station, each with a proper rep count, just enough where form matters and not enough if cheating yourself. My rough math made me think that would total two miles, but it’s actually just one mile, another reminder, not a professional.

Kept the group together in lieu of letting spring chickens run for fellowship and FNG welcoming. Goose was hungry for EC, had a taste and back to COT for MARY.

Proper interrogation of FNG led to name Elmer Fudd.

Prayers for better parenting, aging family members, and discernment in season of waiting.

NMM
Most people face challenges every day. Some are easy to overcome while other times it feels like war. The enemy is all your doubts, all your fears, and the lie that you aren’t good enough to complete the mission. But don’t quit. Wake up, brush your teeth, make your bed, workout, shower, and just make it to lunch. Then, make it to dinner. Regardless of how bad the day was, there will be a new one tomorrow.

When you feel like quitting, which you will, do not quit right now, that’s emotion. Instead, say “I’ll quit tomorrow.” If you can keep quitting tomorrow, you can do anything. Don’t let the lies in your head stop you from achieving great things.

Aye!
