INTRO:

I was nervous for the Big VQ…been traveling way too much, not posted in
a while and sick as a dog – even my next-door neighbor Tebow wanted to drive
separately (he said it was the sickness – I really think he didn’t want the
embarrassment of getting in the car with me after a horrible Q and Beatdown –
where’s the faith? Just joking).  As soon
as I saw some familiar F3 brothers I felt better – plus the nervous deuce in
Garfield’s litter box helped.

WARM-O-RAMA:

With a confident
“Let’s Mosey” followed by a cough or two we got underway. Jog around the
parking lot to pick up a tardy brother who was frantically digging in the
shovel and flag and then up the stairs towards our old stomping grounds for
warm-ups and stretches.

21 Side Straddle Hops
(ok – it was more as the cadence started rough – not intimidating at all with
no voice, a lung of mucous and a group of brothers who have posted more than 3M
Sticky notes)

11 Weedpickers (I was
feeling the strength of the brother’s unison)

19 Imperial Walkers
(one of my fav’s)

Sun Gods OYO to close us
out (although a healthy debate on the merits of Forward(s) or Backword(s))

THE THANG:

We began the beat down
as a disheveled two line Indian Run over to the steps and down to the benches
under the light (I will blame the shaky Q for the lack or organization).

Now at the benches we
quickly arranged in partners – shout out to Dandy who went with the sick VQ (or
who drew short straw and was stuck with me). We started the pain – while one
partner ran a lap of the bus route the other was performing exercises and vice
versa.  Exercises consisted of 100
Burpees, 200 Merkins, 300 Squats, 200 Dips and 100 Flutter Kicks…finally a nice
jog back to the flag for some abs and 19 J. Lo’s. 

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

We shared some
announcements, we prayed for strength for the community as Stephen “Stevie”
Smith was being put to rest later that day.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Doing the VQ was intimidating …there is some follow up that I was a bit
slow on and had technical issues with. Grylls being the great human we all know
he is was more than willing to help out. 
Love this group of guys and it fills a place in my life and heart –
thanks!
