• Our Saturday “300” started promptly at 6:30am as usual, with one goal in mind: that, “Men Get Better Today”. Believe it or not, we didn’t start with Side Straddle Hops! But we did start at 6:30am, in the gloom… Apparently, so did ROTC…. or so we think, as we’re still not 100% about that!

Car after car, some of confused parents looking to either drop off a child, and some county sheriff patrollers… flooded our workout space (“Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful F3!”…and pay no attention to the man leading the Q!) All in all, there was confusion for the poor ROTC’ers. (*Make a Note: the two officers on patrol were invited to a group called F3 which takes place every weekday at 5:30am and Saturday’s at 6:30am….)

Amidst the clear lack of leadership the ROTC folks were experiencing, “Men Got Better Today”. We delighted in the wonderful, NON-CAFFEINE inspired workout planned by your, one and only, Kleenex! (Yes, yes, this one brought the Men to tears…!). And you guessed it: “Men Got Better Today”!

• Another side note: If you ever do plan on writing a Workout Plan that includes SCHS SPARTAN Stadium, make sure you ask fellow F3 Brother, Bandcamp! Because as we learned today: “When we ASSUME, it only makes an a$$ out of………ME!”

Needless to say, I modified! But this was all part of the plan! I mean, who REALLY wanted to run the bleachers and track anyway?? Wait….that would have been awesome! But I digress. And it didn’t stop us. Why? Because, “Men Got Better Today”.

We finished strong, with strong reps of core abdominal work, all the while directing random cars of “drive by’s”… (Did I mention cars of confused folks were still looking for ROTC…?!!). We huffed, and we puffed, but our Foundations remained strong!! Why? Because during our Reflection Time (see photos below), we realized that we Christ Centered Brothers of F3 hold The Truth, The Hope and The Way for those who need Peace, Comfort, and Power/Strength in whatever present trial we face! (#FaithFellowshipFitness)

• We did modify our workout, concluding around 7:20am, as I noticed, although our FNG kept up well, I felt breaking :10min early for departure would probably be:
  1. Good News to him (and we’re all about the Gospel here…) OR
  2. More time for us to find dirt on him! (*we eternally named him, from hence forth and forever known as JACQUES TRAP! Wait, make that Jock Strap (*Jennifer Lawrence probably will blame Trump for his name too…)

Finally, 7:30am came, and 7:30am went. Another Saturday down. Men departed for our regular post-workout diner, City BBQ, for some joking and poking (TWSS!). And guess what? “Men Got Better Today”.

Always a pleasure to lead.
