Chain on Events: dealing with uncertainty can be challenging and sometimes downright overwhelming.  Coming to F3 has helped me keep my head clear and put things into perspective.  It also helps me be the strong link in the chain instead of the weak link.  We all know that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  Let’s try to be the strongest link in the chain and work to strengthen the links we come in contact with.  If we can do that, the chain of events in our life with be more predictable and have a better outcome.  This is why we are here, this is why we help each other.

Seal Claps
LBCs

Military Press
Imperial Walkers
Good Mornings
Lunge to curb
Calf Stretch with 10 counts

The Thang

Shall we play a game?
Title of exercises or routine
Relay race on the soccer field: Collect as many coupon points on the top of the bleacher steps in the time allotted.
Full Coupon = 4 points – Do ten burpees to move it up a step
Half Coupon = 2 points – Do ten suitcase crunches to move it up a step
Quarter Coupon = 1 point – Do ten incline merkins to move it up a step
Start by sprinting across the field, touch the metal bench, sprint back and select your point value and do the exercise to move your coupon.  Alternate with your teammate.  No more that two coupons on any given step.
The race ended at 06:10 in a tie: 9 to 9.  A built in anti-sandbag rule was invoked by allowing those watching the clock to think the race ended at 06:05.

COT

Counted and Named
Discussed the need for Focus and that we should keep running our race.
“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.”

---

Moleskin

We all have obstacles, I have admittedly been challenged by them of late.  It’s important to remember your end goal (coupons on the top step) and find a way to get them there or complete your task at hand or your overall strategy.

Everyone talks about changing the world but forgets to start by changing themselves.
I referred to Whittler’s comments about controlling the controllables and not being a victim of circumstance.  We have to be ready for change and always challenge ourselves to make change when the time is right.  We are at F3 to change ourselves and become better.  Keep at it!

Counted to 4 – Namearama to follow – Announcements and Prayer requests made

BALL OF MAN: completed
Word and Thought of the Day:
Fungibul (Fun-juh-bul) – being of such a nature that one part or quantity may be replaced by another equal part or quantity in the satisfaction of an obligation.

• We are all equal.  The structure of f3 is very important and we must respect it.  This allows us all to be ready to lead when the time comes.  Be there for each other, pick each other up, sweep if you have to, finish together.

We come to f3 because we choose to, We come to f3 to get better
We choose to be our brothers keeper, We respect the framework to the letter
We are here for fitness, We are here for faith,
We are here for fellowship, and some to loose weight
We are all very busy, our bandwidth gets low
We always come back so our friendships can grow
When a brother calls, pick up the line
It may be you calling in due time
