Completed the deck with 15 minutes to spare. Tclaps to everyone this morning, great job leading the #BoM

  • Plank routine with regular por favor, right arm high, left arm high, right leg high, left leg high
  • Then we got a little tricky with right arm & left leg up and flapjack
  • Makhtar N’Diayes x 10 to get the heart pumping once more
  • Closed it out with some Abe Vigoda to stretch the hammies one more time.

#CountORama and #NameORama

Q Fail> Totally blew this, remembered at Coffeeteria. YHC will remind the younger PAX, it’s hell to get old but it beats the alternative. No FNG’s. Remember to EH friends and neighbors.

#BoM (Ball of Man) – #COT:

TAPs for Brittany’s brother-in-law and his ordeal in China, Bishop and his strong words regarding taking that slow walk with our parents and adding in our children. Thanks to The Bishop for taking us out. Again it was my pleasure to lead the BoM this morning. Thank You

      • Why:#CSAUP Races are signature events for the F3 Nation. The Spartan Race is a excellent chance to test your Fitness, growth in Fellowship and deepen your Faith (believe me, you will be praying during the race…) Ask any Pax who has done one, and they will tell you that #CSAUP events are their favorite F3 activity!!! #seeforyourself
    • Convergence??? Monday, May 29th Memorial Day
  • F3 COMZ. Because we are only working out together 3-4 hours a week, communication between the Pax is a key way to build our Fellowship as a group. #CommunicationIsKey There are multiple ways to stay in touch:
    • Twitter. YHC highly encourages the PAX to get on Twitter. It’s not a scary as it sounds, and it’s a great source of real-time updates, #MumbleChatter and hilarious (and occassionally horrifying!?!) images from the PAX. If YHC can do it, then trust me that anyone can. Suggested Twitter handle: @F3[F3name].
    • f3nation.com. This is the key resource for all things F3, but especially for the Backblasts, a written account of a Workout or Event that the Q Posts to a public forum. You can find the #BBs for F3 HOU here: http://f3nation.com/locations/houston-tx/
    • Facebook. F3 Houston has both public and private pages (Duggar can get you access to the latter). It is a great place to look at pics and videos from our workouts.
