The Thang
Horses Race, so we raced.
- Group sprint races from cone to cone (3 sets of cones) all the way to the basketball court on the other end of the park.Winner of each race got to rest, losers did 10 merkins
Basketball and KY go together, so we played games with a basketball.
- Free Throws ain’t Free
- Group lines up around the arc.
- Each pax takes turns going to the line to shoot a free throw. If they make it, everyone does 5 squats. If they miss it, everyone does 5 burpees (lots of burpees were had)
- Second time around, if they make it, everyone does 5 bobby hurleys, if they miss it, everyone does 10 merkins.
- Group lines up around the arc.
- Stationed sucicides
- First free throw line and back (5 Monkey Humpers)
- Half court and back (10 Monkey Humpers)
- Far free throw line and back (15 LBCs)
- Far end line and back (20 LBCs)
- Knock-out!
- Hard to believe so many guys didn’t remember how to play knock-out. Congrats to Appletini for outlasting everyone (with a little help).
Indian Run back to the flags
If you want to enjoy the great bourbon that KY limestone filtered creeks produce, you gotta put in the AB work.
- Partner up. As many Big Boy situps as you can get in a minute. Goal was to get at least 50.
- Penalty announced once complete – For every Big Boy short, the Pax partner had to do a burpee.
Mary
- American Hammers
- LBCs
- Hold Plank
Circle of Trust
This week’s workout got me thinking about home and the thought that the word Home immediately brings up a vision of a physical place, or a dwelling. The definition for home is “The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.”. Thoughts of home can be positive reflections and memories of happy times, or it can be painful reminders and feelings that something was or is out place, or simply not how ‘it’s supposed to be’. As I thought more about it, the saying ‘Home is where the heart is’ kept popping in my head. Every day, the lord gives us the opportunity to wake up and choose to serve the members of our family in our homes and we should seize those opportunities so that when our families think of Home, they do so positively. It’s not always easy and this world certainly reminds us of that daily. From financial stresses, to dealing with young children or teenagers, or just struggling to find time to be ‘home’ it can feel like an impossible task to serve our loved ones.
My challenge to each of us today is start small. Take 30 seconds before you walk in the door each day to get your mind right, put a smile on, and walk through that door concerned only about those loved ones on the other side. Make them feel like they are the only things in the world that matter and do it even if it’s not reciprocated. F3 challenges us to live third, which is the consistent and deliberate practice of putting oneself third, behind Creator and Community (which includes our family). Your daily actions, deliberate or not, determine who you serve, so be purposeful and make them count.
Joshua 24:15 – “But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Prayers for:
