On a day when the Q was running on fumes, (Thanks Panthers) the PAX came through and supported their weary brother and helped finish the workout strong in unity.

To the best of my memory I will try to recall how it went down:

• Disclaimer
• Mosey to upper lot for stretching
  • SSH IC x15
  • Cotton Clappers IC x15
  • IST IC x15
  • Windmill IC x15
• Each of the brethren grabbed a brick and mosey’ed down to the Rock at Harris Rd.
• Upon arrival at the rock, circled up with brick
  • Dip on brick IC x15
  • Incline Merkin IC x20
  • Decline Merkin IC x15
• Mosey to flagpole 15 Step-ups each leg x15
• Mosey to stairs for Partner Wheelbarrel walkups
• Mosey to wall
  • People’s Chair (Airpress IC x30, Cancan IC x 20)
• Mosey to Chuck Norris Enclave
  • Pretzel Crunch IC Left and Right x20
  • Sparknut Squats IC 40
• Mosey back to stairs for another round of partner wheelbarrels
• Mosey back to Flagpole 12 Step-ups each leg x12
• Mosey back to Rock 12 Incline Merkins
• Grab brick mosey back to bottom of hill on the way back and stop halfway for some chest presses
• Muster up whatever energy is left to run back to drop brick off in brick pile(upper lot)
• Finish with Pax Mary (W, Mason Twist, Low Dolly, Squirm, Dying Roach, Reverse Crunch)

Moleskin:

Brothers, this workout exemplified why I love being a part of F3. For the life of me, I could not get it going today, and each one of you in some special way helped push me to finish the workout. I didn’t want to be the Q who lost his dinner while Q’ing, but I felt close a few times. I appreciate you men very much, and it is my personal prayer that we grow as friends outside of the workout.

I want to close with my thoughts I shared about my drive to work yesterday:

11/2/2015:

Today was raining like crazy in Charlotte. there were accidents everywhere. Traffic came to a standstill on 485 and the left two lanes were cut off and everyone merged to the far right lane as we passed the last accident on my way. We were forced to drive slow, which gave me time to look at the accident. I saw a mangled truck and car and several police cars. I also saw what looked like a body laying on the ground and covered in tarp. It couldn’t have been a body, that isn’t what I saw. My mind was racing as I considered this man who likely has just slipped away into eternity. I tried to shake it off in my mind, as this couldn’t have been what I thought I saw.

I got to work and a co-worker confirmed what I saw was indeed a dead man. The news reported that the driver of a truck lost control and wrecked into the rail. He got out of his car and was struck by another car who also lost control.

This man, had no idea that this would be his last day on earth. His last time kissing his wife and kids good bye in the morning. His last weekend with family and friends.

In light of this brothers, let us all be good stewards of what God has given us. Let us all live passionately by loving God and others. Its easy for me to be selfish with my time, but the truth is, it’s all God’s time. We are all loving on His time in His plan. Let us be present in each moment He has given us with the people He has given us, for we never know when it could be ours or the ones we are with last moment.

I wanted to share this and let you know I am sending this as a reminder to love each other but also to let you know that I love you!
