The disclaimer was given just in time, for one PAX almost impaled his head on an art structure at the AO. But, thanks to the frequency of squats in F3 he was able to dodge the structure in the “NICK” of time for the 15 down.
The PAX were welcomed to a different type of warm up

Equal or Not?
AO: Beast Ridge
Q: Rainman
PAX: Best In Show, Whittler, Prosciutto
Weather: A Crisp 28 Degrees and cloudy with a 100% chance of a Rainman beatdown.
The disclaimer was given in a very prompt and efficient way. After a short mosey the Q called the PAX to square up for the warm up. Two more men and the Q could have called the PAX to circle up.

THE THANG: Equality or Not?
Ascending CURB CRAWL: PAX moseyed to a hill at BEAST RIDGE. Once there the PAX were split into two groups.
Group One was assigned to bear crawl up the hill and complete one DERKIN and one SQUAT. CRAB WALK down the hill and complete TWO INCLINE MERKINS and two SQUATS. Continue to 13
Group Two was assigned to run up the hill and complete one DERKIN. MOSEY down the hill and complete TWO INCLINE MERKINS. Continue to 13
Which group would you rather be in? Obviously for one group of people it’s going to be a harder more difficult route, it’s going to take longer for group one to finish and catch up. While the other group had an easier way, it was also not as equal because the fitness was not up to par. Martin believed in equality for all, and fought for freedom for God given rights for all people. So, while yes he was representing African Americans, he was advocating and making the way for all people groups. After that it was time to come together. The Q called the PAX to mosey back to the lot to be FREE.
FREE
F: Febreze: PAX now back together on their 6. PAX completed 2 BBSU’s on the second they were instructed to keep feet 6’’ off the ground and completed 10 Air Press. Repeated in ratios of 10. 2:10, 4:20, 6:30.
R: Russian Twist X 12 IC
E: E2K AKA Oblique Crunches X 20 IC Left SIDE
E: E2K AKA Oblique Crunches X 20 IC Right SIDE
The Q called, “Free at last free at last thank God all Mighty we’re free at last.”
Fellowship MOSEY until time.

Moleskin: (I Understand that F3 is not Christian, but this is what the Q shared)
Jesus wasn’t just a nice guy. He was a Rabbi who followed the Rabbi-Talmid Structure of the Jewish Culture. There is a difference between being a disciple, (which when looked up in the Greek means follower) and being a talmid, (hebrew word for disciple, the committed followers, who made Jesus’ teachings their code of conduct). Throughout the New Testament you see scripture say, “There was a great crowd that followed Jesus (John 6:2)…” If you keep reading on you will find scripture say, “And because of his hard words (teachings) some discples fell away (John 6:66).” (Example of a hard teaching can be found in Matthew 7:21, and 8:18-22 if interested) Those that fell away were only fans of Jesus, they followed him because he was ‘popular’. But not the talmid. The twelve, were committed. So committed that when it came time to die for Christ they did (Post resurrection PAX talked about not just being a fan of Jesus, or a ‘Pew Potato” (Someone who just attends church because it’s what you SHOULD DO) But, to truly walk and do as he did.
