Intro:


YHC got the name Gut Check for a simple reason. It takes a man of extreme fortitude to have a core that can withstand every Gut Check life throws your way! (Or I just wanted to get rid of years of Sad Clown gut and Spaceballs thought he was funny!) Today I decided we were going to attempt to burn off all the rest of it, or merlot trying.

But in F3, we show up for the man next to us, not solely for ourselvs. Today, six HIMs showed up in the putrid gloom to destroy the notion that we will ever be Sad Clowns again, and to inspire those Sad Clowns who were “sleeping it off” this morning.

Warm-o-Rama:


Mosey to a new part of the AO. (It's a secret to all but 6 HIMs.)
21 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
Sun Gods OYO
10 LawDogs (Michael Phelps IC)
10 Hillbillies — We were on the hill and had one more to climb

The Thang:


Mosey up the Hill of Wrath to the Mill Creek Bus Lanes (27 in a straigh line). YHC loves that bus lanes provide half of the beat down plan (rep counts) for him.

Sad Clowns are first and foremost, SAD. So, to burn away all vestiges of Sad Clowndom, we set out to work every lane:
S – Squats – 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3
A – American Hammers (IC) – 26, 23, 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, 5, 2
D – Derkins – 25, 22, 19, 16, 13, 10, 7, 4, 1
Run back to the start and Burpess till the 6 is in.

Silence was the name of the game as the PAX gutted it out to their COREs. Except a certain PAX's CORE was full of something and desperately wanted to tell us about it. Lexi?

Mosey down ALL the hills back to the River Ridge bus lanes for some CLOWNing around. At one point YHC got a sure fire "Son of a _______!" from a PAX who was cursing his Sad Clown (or cursing YHC).

C – Curb Alperts – 32, 27
L – Lunges (L+R=1) 31, 26
O – Big O’s 30, 25 (Change direction halfway)
W – War Hammers, 29, 24 (YHC's new favorite Sad Clown killer!)
N – Newton’s Cradle 28, 23

We'd have kept counting down, but stopped as 10,000 Sad Clown alarm clocks rang out at 6:15.

Mosey back to the flag for a little Circle Burp to honor our man Tiny Tat's 40th (7 rounds x 6 PAX = 42 for Tiny Tat who participated obligingly)

COT:


Prayers for:
Lexi – Travelling today to Birmingham to hire some salespeole. Prayers for good candidates and continued company growth.
Slow Burn – Confronting a brother in Christ today about ongoing sin in his life. Prayers that God would speak straight thru him to his brother, through HIS Word, HIS grace, and HIS mercy, with no condemnation.
Prayers of Thanks for the ability to get out in the gloom with such fine men to grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually so we can be the true High Impact Men this community and our families need!

Naked Man Moleskin:


This week had a Gut Check about F3–am I focusing too much on it in my life. It has brought such joy and growth to me that I tend to obsess over it a bit. To the point even the VERY supportive M, and two F3 brothers reminded me to REST.

Men, it's okay to love F3, even to be obsessed with it, but NEVER let it get in the way of loving and serving others–your family, friends, and all the SAD CLOWNS out there that need to know you! For it's your love and leadership that will finally get them out of the Fartsack!
