Fun with buckets

Everyone loved my Q this past Friday. We had 3 buckets placed around the parking lot with various exercises to pick from each bucket. Many of you have struggled through it before. If you haven’t it truly is one of the more inventive and talked about workouts in the Fort. Just ask me about it next time. Really.

Somehow Anchorman was the hero as he managed to pick the one ticket that had only 2 burpees. Winner.

We had a great COT, with Spectre bringing his heart after the very long few weeks that he and his family have been through. If you’ve given them a thought or a prayer recently he is grateful.

Boogie Down can use some prayers dealing with some “Senioritis” (as we have been there) and props to Double D for this weekend’s wedding festivities. Sprocket’s excited about a 2.0 baptism and I’m traveling this weekend for the death of my stepfather. I’m sure there were others I’m missing. Safe travels for Peach Stand.

NMM:
F3 Prepares us to handle to unexpected. But no matter how hard the workout is in the Fort we know it will be over after 45-60 minutes. In life, we don’t know when the challenge will be over, but we can almost always knock out one more rep. And then do it again, just one more rep, and one more rep, and one more rep, and one more rep

Brother, you can knock out one more rep. I know it. And if necessary, call it in cadence and ask the PAX to join you—cause we will
