This may or may not be an accurate count. What matters is this: Fissure took care of an AWESOME warm-up and we did this routine in fast cadence for five minutes…
My last 3 Qs have consisted of a combined 7 Pax. You can imagine the excitement I felt this morning as I looked at double that!!
The Thang
The Pax grabbed a partner, got a station, each station was labeled with the appropriate exercise and proceeded to do the following exercises. While one partner completed an exercise, the other partner ran to a determined point (rocks in the shape of “F3”) did a burpee, and returned. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until the designated song ended. Switch stations and continue the same process.

We’re Thunderstruck, Right Now!
YHC’s finishing song for long runs is almost always Right Now – Van Halen, so I found it only fitting to do an Indian Run with our last remaining song on the playlist.
When the Pax circled up, they obviously suspected the fun was over, but hey, we still had 3 minutes left! That was just the perfect amount of time to complete Thunderstruck per the Exicon. Pax circled up in plank position and completed a merkin each time Mr. Young sang “THUNDER!”
Moleskin
I put A LOT of thought and planning into this Q for a multitude of reasons, but they all came back to LOVE. Yes, you read that right, love. First and foremost, I love the Landfill and think it is my favorite AO, but an hour on a Saturday elsewhere may lead to the same result. As it stands, I love me some landfill. Secondly, I love F3. It has led this ole’ North Georgia Country Boy that can count to seben, heck even twelb, to be a better man, leader, coach, teacher, husband, father, and Christian. Lastly and most importantly, I love the Pax of F3 Chattanooga specifically.
This morning, I realized I put entirely too much thought into the planning of the workout and not enough time into the moleskin, so I did what I always do when I am stuck, I sought the Bible’s counsel. Love was my starting point, that was obvious, so in the back my study Bible I found a verse based on the subject that I felt related most to today’s moleskin.
If you’re reading this, I did not realize this was the verse I was turning too before I read it this morning, but I think it really speaks to the love that so many of the F3 Brothers show for each other.
It was a struggle to read and talk about. My voice cracked. I shed a tear. I knew then, the love and passion was truly real…thanks men for being my brothers.
That verse: 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John 15:13-16
