Not leg day, not really

WARMUP: SSH, Moroccan Night Clubs, Little Baby Arm Circles, Imperial and Hillbilly Walkers, Cherry Pickers
THE THANG: Mosey to the parking lot on the side of Persis. Partner up for a “no legs” DORA. One partner works, the other partner does an easy “moderate” run to the end of the parking lot and back.
100 BBSU
200 Merkins
300 Leg lifts (wheezy Jefferson?)
With 15 minutes left, walked to a more open area for broga. Worked on hips and hamstrings for about 11 minutes.
Mosey back to CoT for one more ab exercise. Cross body crunch (left leg over right knee, crunch right shoulder to left knee) for a 4 count. 1-3 was hold, 4th count was release. Both sides x10 and DONE
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM camp and CSAUPS
COT: Started with a reminder that F3 is about bettering the men that choose to appear in the gloom.
Rather than ask for standard prayer requests, YHC asked the group to list something positive that we could think about throughout the day. This turned quickly into a list of prayer requests…

F3 isn’t about any particular faith or viewpoint, we are here to become better partners, fathers, friends, and citizens of the world. We’re learning to live 3rd.

The Circle of Trust doesn’t have any prescribed formula, and our region tends to use it as a prayer chain. I feel being locked into this methodology is a bit of a disservice to ourselves and our time in the CoT. I say this in the least self-serving way possible.

This is our time to work on OURSELVES.

The CoT is a place where PAX have an opportunity to say what’s on their hearts. We could talk about personal pain and difficulty, and celebrate the victories we have against daily obstacles.

More often than not we hear about a friend or relative going through a tough time. I’m glad people are concerned, I really am, but what I would rather hear is how that affects you, and how that is going to change you. What action will you take? Send a gift card to your friend whose wife is going through some shit. Watch your neighbor’s kids so they have time to go to a job interview. Help change a set of brake pads. When you get home and the M hasn’t cleaned up after her Ramen mess for the 4th day in a row just smile, take a breath, and appreciate your M.

This morning as my CoT turned itself back into the prayer meeting I decided to read between the lines. I heard some PAX say some things that were the usual fare. What I heard was that we have a lot of men in the Fort dealing with anxiety over things they cannot control, things that don’t affect their daily lives.

So when I got it back, I simply asked that we think about what our brothers had to say and find a way to make the lives of those around us a bit better. Let’s live 3rd in a way that enriches and does not tear anything down.

38 out
