Link street on my heart

Written by DOAH in slack: [commentary by Band Camp]

Heart Breakers: @U01NGHPR2HW and almost @U05TY21AC2X, but he uncommitted sometime last night…

The Thang: Route attached [was attached in slack, you could look up today's date on a PAX's Strava. Suffice it to say: we hit 3 miles. FMPD slow rolled our start this morning which kept YHC from running directly where I planned to go, but we made it over there another way. No complaints]. We stopped a lot and did a lot [5 each stop] of 6-Count burpees (a BC staple), [10] merkins, [15] squats, [20] flutters, with a few LBCs thrown in for bad measure. [We did an undetermined amount of these based on keeping the group together enough so nobody got lost. Kept things in cadence because that seems to help keep men accountable to actually doing the exercises. Something about pushing through pain and discomfort together. Started with just burpees. Next stop: burpees & merkins, etc.]

Moleskine: Sweat. Plenty of sweat. And some ramblings that implied some very limited understanding of the functional success of certain systems. Regardless, we went fast and didn't lose anyone along the way… except Slash… but he was lost by choice. Uptown Girl is still greatly disturbed by my presence and refused even so much as a fist bump this morning, but like a lot of folks who hate me when they first meet me (that list is long, right Crystal Lake?), I'll wear him down eventually.

COT: The Fort’tan gave a good thought about acting on those things that we feel called to do and not delaying. Prayers for EC as he heads off to get his head shaved and his spine straightened, and prayers for NASA as he sends his little bird out of the nest.

[Here's the deal. God doesn't put things on your heart for someone else to do it. Go get after it.]

Ruby Slippers:

5 stations based on 5 core principles of F3. All
stations are AMRAP for 3ish minutes. Need a leader to
step up at each station to get the PAX organized and
ready to work. At the stations where Burpees IC are
called need different HIMs to lead their team by
performing the burpees with a 6-count cadence.

Station #1 – Core Principle: Free of Charge
Remember, you GET TO! Now get to it, tighten your
core, and don’t quit!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – LBCs
25 – Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg only )
20 – American Hammers ( count 1 side only )
15 – BigBoySit-ups
10 – V-Ups
Repeat

Station #2 – Core Principle: Open to all men
AMRAP – Team Work
It is in your hands to make a better world for all who
live in it. Give away what was freely given to you!
Now go EH somebody!!!
Routine:
Half of your team holds plank
Other half of your team completes 15 – Hand Released
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole team performs 10 burpees IC
Repeat

Station #3 – Core Principle: Held outdoors, rain or
shine.
When spending time in nature, one receives far more
than he seeks! So, stop complaining about the
weather and be thankful for the beat down you are
about to receive!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – Squats
25 – Monkey Humpers
20 – Jump Lunges
15 – Pollo Onos ( count 1 leg )
10 – Bobby Hurley’s

Station #4 – Core Principle: Peer led in a rotating
fashion
Leaders become great because of their ability to
empower others. You are not out here for yourself.
You are out here to serve the man to your left and the
man to your right!
AMRAP – Team Work
Place cone approx. 25 yards from the station
Must start from the station as a team at the beginning
of each iteration.
Sprint to cone, Bear Crawl back to the station
Crawl Bear to cone, NUR back to the station
Broad Jump to cone, Mosey back to the station
Repeat

Station #5 – Core Principle: Ends with a Circle of
Trust – COT
Sharing joy multiplies it, sharing a burden lightens it!
Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your heart, you have
brothers that need to hear it!
AMRAP – OYO
Half of the group holds 6 inches from the Merkin
position
Other half of the group completes 10 Diamond
Merkins
Switch
