THE THANG: meatloaf massacre strikes again

10 Blockies
20 overhead press
30 kettlebell swings
40 squats
50 merkins on the block
1 lap
Second time all of the above +1 lap
Third time all of the above +2 laps
Fourth time all of the above +3 laps

The meatloaf massacre is a doozy. No easy way around it and halfway thru you question your ability to finish, but you press on. @YNAB modified by reversing the run. Not sure if that was a good or bad idea, but true.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: stairclimb, dads camp, new AOs and rucks coming online
COT: F3…fellowship, fitness and most important faith. For workouts like these what well are you reaching into? What is the water in your reservoir? For me it is faith in a man who predicted his own death and resurrection and then succeeded in it. What are you believing in to anchor your life through victory and defeat?

2nd Hour: To-W-L, there: Modified Meatloaf Massacre, 9-11 Stair prep variation. 9 minute stair loop. (To the tune of Paradise by the Dashboard Light); then 10 burpees,20 merkins 30 yards of bear crawl, 40 LBC

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9-11 Stairclimb
COT: At its highest level, fellowship transcends in-person interaction. Here is a reality of life: at some point, you may find yourself in great adversity…and all “alone.”

When you are “alone,” keep it lowercase “alone.” BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Tap into the spirit of your F3 Brothers. We are with you. One of the fantastic things about F3 workouts is that, ultimately, they are “you versus you” anyway. So it is a paradox: it is better to work out together, but you are only competing against yourself. So, the next time you find yourself alone in a difficult situation, remember, it’s just the same old you vs. you that you have faced during every F3 beat down. If the hands of fate leave you to face a meatloaf massacre by yourself, then look at the bright side: the whole meatloaf is all yours.

SYITG!

We need to change, change can be scary
Embracing change, being brave
Best part, at end of speech. Ted says ‘everybody’s eyes on me when I say this’. Smacks the Believe sign

Change is how we grow, we evolve. Think back to first time you came out to F3. Who were you back then, who are you know. What changes have you gone through? Embrace change!
