QIC:  Doughboy

While it wasn’t a cold morning, it was – you guessed it – a rainy morning.  Seems like we have had our share of rainy workouts lately.  Wanting to encourage people to show up, a tweet was sent out the night before reminding everyone of F3’s third principle – workouts are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.  That being said, 7 PAX decided to get up, show up, and get better.

Warm up (12 count, in cadence):

Side Straddle Hops

Alternating Toe Touches

Little Arm Circles

Seal Claps

Overhead Claps

Humpy’s

After the warm up, we ran to the block pile and each PAX grabbed a block and headed to the Walgreens lot for the beat down.  We did 9 different exercises, 50 reps with a lap around Walgreens between each exercise.  The exercises were:

Bench Press

Squat – hold the block at your chest

Bent Over Rows

Overhead Press

Lunge – Alternating

High Pull – think snatch

Power Punch – hold the block at chest height and push it out and pull it back

Pogo Hop – hold the block at your chest and jump like you are on a pogo stick

Once we were done with this, we did some dips (25) on the block followed by Nolan Ryan’s – 25 each side.

Put the blocks up and mosey back to the flag for COT and WOD.

WOD:

 faith apart from works is dead—James 2:26

Imagine yourself, for a moment, standing before our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Imagine feeling, at first, a bit apprehensive. Imagine lifting your eyes to his. Imagine his face, when you meet his gaze. Imagine his strength, his goodness. Imagine the sound of his voice as he, like the master in his Parable of the Talents, speaks these words: “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:14-30). How would that feel—from the one who sacrificed his life for yours—that he’s pleased with the life you’ve lived?

Each of us has work to do before we actually stand face-to-face with Jesus. “He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing” (Ephesians 2:10 MSG). Like the servants in the parable, we’re too given resources for the Master’s work. They were given money; we’re given money too, but also time, energy, natural talents, spiritual gifts, and help from the Holy Spirit. We must waste these resources no more. We must spend them for his work—not just for ourselves.
