It’s the new year and that means all sorts of folks are making New Years Resolutions. The usual suspects — stop smoking, eat better, wake up early, read more and of course get fit. Just a half hearted approach to getting better — now before you start gettin defensive, some folks definitely have the stuff to get it done but in YHC’s opinion 9 times out of 10 thats just not the case.
But here in F3 we don’t make Resolutions. We make commitments.
We are hold one another accountable to getting better. Every. Single. Day. All year long. Now the challenge for you is talk with your neighbor, coworker, family member, or otherwise and introduce them to this thing we call accountability. Help them commit to goals like we help each other show up to the gloom.

While each AO has its own beauty, the Hill City AO is my favorite AO, hands down. It has the right mix of obstacles, hills, bridges and objects to let creativity flow. Like my Blue Period during the time frame of 1900 – 1904, Hill City brings out the best of my creativity. 
Game of Thrones is a very popular book series, as well as, TV Series. The Thang this morning was based off of the GoT series in a production called “Gains of Thrones”. Let’s get to it.

LittleFinger provided us with the word this morning. 
“Everyone dies sooner or later. Don’t worry about your death. Worry about your life. Take charge of your life, for as long as it lasts.”
You can’t change things that are out of your control, but you can change how you will act today. Make today the best it can be, be in the present and focus on those tasks.

Mini ROT:
A brief explanation of the ROT was provided for the two newish PAX (Sundance and Wort). YHC felt it was necessary just so that they knew exactly what they had gotten themselves into… It would have been a good time to provide some insightful words of wisdom regarding resilience, but time was of the essence. This wasn’t the full diesel ROT that Angus has demonstrated, but it was effective. Also, in the interest of the Abvent and XMAS Abs challenge, we swapped a few things. With that said, YHC gives you the “Abbreviated James Brown ROT”:
Each bench you find along the river walk, perform the following exercises (in no particular order)
10 BBSU
10 Step-ups (right leg)
15 Squats
10 Step-ups (left leg)
15 Merkins
When complete, *LUNGE* to the next park bench
At the last bench along this walk (just before the great hall) hold plank & wait for the six. 
Rock Fellowship:
YHC personally selected six Duane “The Rock” Johnson’s (thank you Mr. Clean; glad we have a name for them) and delivered them. After all, YHC hospital name is Nicholas…
With these gifted “Duane’s”, the PAX circled up for the next thing:
10 bottom to middle curls
10 middle to upper curls
10 full curls
*Drop rock & rotate to your right
**Repeat 4x
After all 4, again with the Duane’s:
10 Tricep extensions
10 Shoulder presses
**Repeat 2x
…and mosey back to the love shack for the 1 minute and 45 second “1:45MOM”

Moleskin

One word- “Resilience”
In this season of Christmas, YHC can’t help but think of the story of Jesus’ birth. The odds against his mother and father and those in their camp on that fateful night…And not just the night of His birth, but the weeks leading up to it. What a tough go at it. Those with children of their own can’t fathom how difficult it may have been. And the struggle that Joesph was facing and just how it all came about. Take this woman, Mary, to be your wife; she’ll bear a child, you’ll give it this name and carry this forward as this is what God has asked of you.  Most men would crumble, given these circumstances.  And Mary, Chosen to be the giver of His life. Amazing, really.
The real aspect I considered was Joseph’s resilience as a soon-to-be father, his resilience during that time-period, from the conception and through to the birth and his belief and following of God’s word – what an incredible lesson and implement of God’s plan and his word and test of faith. Dare I say, one of the ultimate and true #HIMs
We are all facing struggle, decisions… challenges. Joseph and Mary faced many, many challenges. They carried on, pushed through those struggles. What came of it?? Oh, you know… just, the birth of a savior and king of Kings. His ultimate sacrifice many years later potentially hung in the balance of Mary and Joseph’s decision in those moments to be resilient, trust in their faith and trust in God’s plan.
As Laces Out (@gregghauss) has discussed, “We are all weathering a storm of one kind or another”. As this next verse from Ephesians mentions, The resilience that we have or any resistance we face should be rooted and met with our ability to trust in God, believe in ourselves and know that we are given favor and strength to do good things, all things, for His glory.
Ephesians 6: 10-14

The Whole Armor of God

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.

Naming of FNGs — Welcome Burrito and Sunshine


Moleskin

YHC told the story of his first workout with Delta, the respect he had for him, and the humbling irony that there was 2 FNGs for today’s beatdown!!! YHC reminded the PAX of the importance of the 3rd F and what it stood for. Faith is the dynamite that truly sets us apart. A particular faith is not required for F3, but a clear understanding of something greater than ourselves is required (the I am third mentality). YHC then shared this message with the PAX that came through inspiration during Laces Out’s prayer after yesterday’s workout.
When I worked out in the rain and slog this morning, I “looked” up with closed eyes at the end during the prayer and felt God as those raindrops hit my face; because, with no rain, we do not have the rainbows God gives us. Without the rain we don’t have the refreshment, on the hot, sunny days when we celebrate God’s beauty through the warmth on our face. Without that rain, we don’t have the water to quench our thirst during a beatdown. With the rain, however, we are reminded of the cleansing Grace of Jesus Christ.

Mosey down to the swamp for our main event, since we have a higher number of PAX than normal we split into two groups of 7. 
Rocky BLIMPS (Together)
PAX were instructed to box jump to the top of the steps with an added challenge — get to the top together. We should excel together. Once all PAX reach the top we perform the exercises in the following order:
= Burpees x 5
L = Lunges x 10
= Imperial Walkers x 15
M = Merkins x 20
= Plank Jacks x 25
S = Squats x 30
Return to the bottom and box jump to the top together between each exercise. 
Banzai Bear Crawl (Together)
The Bazai Bear Crawl is just like a normal Bear Crawl simple performed in reverse. And for our PAX in Hill City we enjoy the pleasure of perform that up a hill.
Again, the PAX were challenged to get everyone to the top of the hill — together.
Once the summit was reached the PAX took a moment to bask in the glory of the view that was achieved just as our time came to an end.


Moleskin

It was clear by the end of our time that YHC was focusing on how we work together to move toward a perceivably unachievable goal.
YHC asked the PAX:

Who on their own will would have come here and done all that we did this morning — on their own?

Not a single hand was raised. The point was understood.
YHC read from the QSource about how a man’s perspective ranges from 9 to 12 to 3 o clock but we cannot watch our own 6 — no one man has the ability to watch his own back to make sure he isn’t getting attacked from behind and focus on what is in front of him.

Instead of focusing solely on his prey, a man also works cooperatively with other men in the pack to see what might be behind him. He recognizes that his eyes up front can only see from 9 through 12 to 3 o’clock. He is blind to his Six unless another man watches it for him. After all, what good is the hunt if the hunter himself is taken by something that sneaks up on him from a place that he, by himself, cannot observe? No man can see his own Six. – Shield Lock (Q1.8)

Just because YHC led the workout this morning does not mean he is the only Q. We are all Qs of our own life. It is each of our responsibility to step up and lead in our own environments. Each of us, need to continue showing up. Continue pushing each other. But most importantly continue building the bonds that we are forming here, because we each need 3 to 5 PAX to watch each others 6 — keep us from getting attacked from behind. Help us if we stumble. Give us a hand if we fall.

We pick out names of our children with great care and significance. We named our son Stephen after the martyr in Acts because he was described as a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit.
As Christmas approaches, we remember the birth of our Savior Jesus, whom the prophet Isaiah declared in Isaiah 7:14 would be born of a virgin and be called Emmanuel. We read in the NT that the name means “God with us.”
As we  live out our day, let us be encouraged that God is with us and lives in us through the Spirit.
