For PAX slicing through the workout.. they started over again at bear crawls and worked through all the above movements until Q called everyone in for Mary.
Mary
Bear crawl ring-o-fire. All PAX held bear crawl position in a tight circle. Q called Left or right and PAX began bear crawling clockwise or counter-clockwise respectively. PAX kept moving until Q called halt, then did push-ups on the Qs down. Then Q gave direction (left or right) for the PAX to resume bear crawling movement.
… and we did some flutter kicks.

Topic: The Strenuous Life
Quote: “Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering” – Theodore Roosevelt
Thoughts: As I progress on my journey of leading workouts for my F3 brothers I try to queue up exercises that lay right on the edge of “If you can’t do it, don’t queue it” because that is where the growth is. Theodore Roosevelt felt that MEN who produce work of value and leave legacy are the same MEN who do not shrink away from difficulties but actively seek them out. Embracing the suck doesn’t just mean getting through a tough workout… it means embracing the reality that growth/value only come from painful challenges. Encourage the PAX to continue to actively seek out challenges that seem just a little outside their reach.. just a little above their current skill set, knowledge, whatever.. because that’s where the growth is.
