Xmas Eve below Zero

Some PAX ran the Clave Boss and then rolled out. Other PAX rolled in for only the workout. Some PAX did both.

Split quickly into 3 groups. Rebound, Sprocket, and Mark Twain each took a group through a warmup and then visited 3 stations. Double D, 38 Special, and Band Camp lead the PAX at each stations. It was too cold (11 degrees Fahrenheit with some biting wind) to vote on which station was the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present and Future (see we did work in a little Xmas theme)

38’s portion:

The Roshamburpee-fest
Demonstrated a roshamburpee (plank position, 1, 2, 3 shoot).
Assigned one PAX to the end of each of the concrete paths. Everyone will run up the concrete paths in succession (or do whatever) and challenge the guy stuck at the end with a roshamburpee.
Winner gets up and runs up to the next level to challenge the next PAX. Loser stays put and keeps plank (or just tries to keep warm). At the five minute mark called “Sudden Death!”. Everyone tries to do laps but they always challenge anyone they run by (passing challenges in progress) and basically it looks like a bunch of pool balls knocking into each other the whole way. A lot of burpees. A lot of laughs. A lot of running. A lot of fun

Double D’s portion:

Started with 10 burpees OYO.
Group then broke up into 3-5 pax.
1 pax runs to block does 1st exercise in red while others in group do exercise in green.
Cycle all pax in group through, then move to second set of exercises.

Exercises:
RED:
1.Blockees
2.Swings
3.Curls
4.OH Press
5.Rows
GREEN:
1.Squat
2.Clave Raise
3.Sumo Squat
4.Monkey Humpers
5.Lunges

We planked for 6 and a short msg. Then group moved on.

Band Camp’s Portion:
Buy in with 20 Bulgarian Split Squats each leg
Ran a version of Red Barchetta-style workout
Run down – exercises
Mosey back – 5 burpees in cadence
50 in cadence Mountain Climbers (cold hands)
49 in cadence Flutters
48 in cadence Squats
47 in cadence Merkins

COT – and to all a good night!

COT: shared letter from F3 Safari

Good morning my brother.
My name is Phelix Obuya (F3 Safari), born and raised in Kenya. Iwas born in abject poverty to an extent that we rarely had two meals. I wore my first pair of shoes when going to High school. Iwas born in a family of 7 but 5 of us died, my late dad included, therefore it is my 78 year old mum, my brother Chris and I who are alive. Am 48 years old and have been a member of F3 since 2020.
I hold 2 Master Degrees in Strategic Management and Community Studies and have worked with diverse organizations. Chaplain Steven Hubbard and I founded a Foundation and got it incorporated in Kenya this year. Damien’s Hope Foundation as it is called follows the ethos of the late St. Damien of Molocai, a Belgium Catholic priest who died while serving lepers. We therefore are dedicated to work with the “modern day lepers” who are needy and aren’t capable of meeting their basic needs in the society.
Damien’s Hope doesn’t have any kind of funding at the moment but we rely on personal contributions and goodwill.I do my apostolate on foot because many times I never have even cash to pay for transport. Having gone through very tough times in life moved me to found Damien’s Hope Foundation,
The reason am writing this mail is to sincerely thank you, Brother Patrick Lloyd, Fort Mill AO, Lake Wylie AO and Rock Hill AO plus any other person of goodwill who mobilized clothes, shoes and all the beautiful and valuable items that were received with gratitude to support our local F3 members and the needy in this community.
Allow me to conclude that by quoting from the Gospel of Mathew 25:35-40 that whatever you did, it was Jesus who benefited through your amazing support. We have received even some financial contribution that has always been handy in providing food and transportation to the pax who do not have any source of income and I always say, “Glory Be to God.”
Without taking much of your time let me take this humble opportunity on behalf of F3, Langata Kenya to THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THE GREAT WORK AND SERVICE TO THE NEEDY.
Never leave no man behind, don’t leave a man where you found him.
Be blessed.
Your humble Brother,
Phelix (Safari)
