The Thang 

Bataan Death March to the common area/courtyard - 2 teams due to the strong turnout!!!

Indian run…. Last in line drops for 5 burpees, sprints back to group, tags the last member and goes to front while the tagged member drops for 5 burpees... rinse and repeat to courtyard/common area.

Huddle up on one side of wall for some Dan Taylor’s (1 squat 4 lunges) and Crowd Pleasers (1 merk:1 groiner) up to 5:5 and back down to 1:1 with Dan Taylor’s in between. Let’s not forget the 10 irkins and derkins at each wall.

Bataan Death March back to school to prepare for the falling of the…

Wall of Jericho

7 exercises, 7 reps each and a lap around the school. Rinse and repeat 7 times….

The 7 exercises chosen - Daniel Son’s, Surfees, Dying Cockroach, Gas Pumps, American hammers, J-Lo’s , Mountain Climbers, then lap the Pit...

We got to the 4th lap as time expired so we didn’t conquer the wall but we DID push and we DID grow.

Moleskin -

I’m a few months in.  I'm an encourager, an influencer, but a leader???  Maybe...  Getting to know each of you a little at a time every step of the way has been a joy. We all have a story and life is a journey full of all the things…. Embrace your moment and push through. F3 rocks!!!! You all kick my ass and I love it!!!! I’m grateful for it and I’ve seen tremendous growth in a very short amount of time… Simple reminders for all us as we keep digging in…

-No growth in the comfort zone

-Push… if you don’t you are only cheating yourself

-Iron sharpens Iron

-Activity is better than no activity…

I was honored to lead you men today. I don’t mind working out but I’ve just scooted by with minimal activity over the years and I have never been a ‘gym rat’. Instructing and leading an exercise routine is not comfortable to me but there was a need so I said yes. I’m glad I did and I encourage others to keep pushing. You all encourage me. Leadership takes on a variety of forms and I’m excited for what’s stirring inside of me and I trust and know that it’s happening with all of you as well.  Just listen and act...  Do not ignore. Do me a favor. Let’s keep shining the light. People notice and take the time not to miss moments. Be proud of yourself and love those in your path and remember that we can always be a positive influence.  Ain't nobody gonna shade our shine!!!!

Onward!!!
