21!

Ron Burgundy and myself planted flags for yet another awesome F3 workout.  My wife is confused about this man she is married to who loves to sleep in.  She doesn’t understand why he not only chooses to workout on his birthday, but also chooses to lead.  I’m not sure I can really explain it either.  Ronnie B and I discussed this phenomenon – there’s just something about knowing there is a group of men that will be out there pushing you to do more than your mind believes is possible.  Yes, there’s picking on each other.  Yes, there’s yellow flies that just won’t leave you alone.  Yes, there’s pain and sweat.  But there’s also sweaty hugs when a man needs it.  There’s a time of sharing and praying.  That’s why we keep setting that alarm for 5AM or earlier and keep showing up to work out together.

5, 3, 2, 1 minute warnings were given and then…

Omaha-ed the Tennis Courts, they were locked…  We moseyed to the Front Parking Lot for some Black Jack.

20 Merkins, 1 LBC; 19 PPM, 2 LBC; etc.

I discovered why most of our PAX makes this 11 instead of 21.  But 21 is half of my age now – and I was possibly dreaming about being 21 again…  We made it through 4/17 (except Shroom made it farther than that).  Creflo Dollar was very concerned about the total number of merkins, but I can’t do math while exercising…  That made for 225 Merkins with some modifications along the way.

Circle of Trust:

Announcements – Check Slack for tomorrow’s workouts.  Welcome to Sgt. Schultz from Winston-Salem!  Thanks to those who came out to celebrate my birthday with me!  It was a pleasure to workout with each of you!

Prayer Requests – Shroom’s friend’s daughter with a rare form of cancer – in Texas for treatment.  Blart’s M is on the road to recovery, but chemo & radiation will be challenging.  Keep praying for her!  Blart took us out in prayer.
