Introduction

Woke up early to the rain so decided to gear up early & head to The O.  Decided to throw an extra 20 lbs in the ruck & get a little 2.8 mile ruffle in the cool rain prior to the beat down. It was a small but mighty crew this morning with Bob Villa & Pull-Up.  The Indy 500 on the track was delayed due to weather (coming to a future beat down near you) so we did a little 4.5 mile recovery run.  The mumble chatter was on point & the discussions were strong.  Appreciated the small group this morning & the opportunity to engage in conversation with these 2 HIM’s.

The Thang

We did not do any of this below.  We just ran, then we ran some more, then we did an extra 2 laps on the track running:).

THANG 1 – How many gears do you have?

Partner based workout running loops around the track:

  • Partner #1 will set off on a pace around the loop at 120% above average mile pace. They will maintain these faster speeds until they catch partner #2 in which they will tap them on their shoulder & switch.
    • On the turns they should be around 100% to 110% faster than avg. mile pace
    • On the straight away they should be 110% to 120% faster than avg. mile pace
  • After partner #1 taps #2 then #1 drops & does 10 burpees before they take off running
  • Partner #2 maintain a pace of 80% to 90% of their avg. mile pace. They will jog until their partner touches them in which they will then take off at faster pace per above direction.
  • This rotation will last until the Q calls it quits for Mary

CoT:  Unity NOT Uniformity

  • Recently I have been going back to church & attending regular at Community Christian in Plainfield. I thought the message was relevant this week which was about creating more unity in our lives.  Now this is different than uniformity b/c we are different human beings.  Unity is defined as one heart & one mission.  Sounds familiar right, One Mission.  They talked about 3 things to create more Unity:
    • live Jesus-Centric or Sky Q centric which essentially means living 3rd
    • Stop judging
    • Offer fellowship
  • This could not be more relevant in the recent shooting this week we are not all going to agree to one uniformity of opinion. You will have those that want to take guns away, others that want to fight mental health, others that say put more security in our schools.  We can disagree but the key is we need to be unified in the mission of putting an end to school shootings.  People need to put aside their passion for their solution & listen to others, stop judging, offer fellowship, & live 3rd for the mission.  By continuing to fight on the solution we are not improving anything only making it worse & ultimately delaying the next shooting.
  • My challenge is to drive more unity in your life by living 3rd, stop judging, & offer more fellowship. AYE!
  • Dear Lord we thank you for this beautiful morning to be out here in the gloom with these HIM’s. We are blessed to wake up every morning & we thank you for guiding us to this opportunity of F3 ultimately to be leaders in our communities but first in “Getting Right” with ourselves so we can be that light you need us to be for others.  In your name we pray.
