Here at F3 we know a Man is more than how many merkins and pull-ups you can do.

Also at F3 we like to challenge ourselves to CSAUP stuff.

So I grabbed this random youtubers "Man Test" and we tried to do it!

You are a Man:

  • 3:00 min Tread Water
  • 5:00 min Jumping Rope
  • 7 Rounds: 5 Jumping Pull-ups, 10 merkins, 15 air squat
  • 10:00 non-stop jogging
  • 20:00 non-stop rowing
  • 30 Consecutive Walking Lunge Steps
  • 400M Unbroken Farmers Walk with 1/2 body weight
  • 100 sit-ups < 5:00 min

We didn't have a rowing machine and we didn't feel like jumping in a cold dirty pond. But we tried the rest!

Fun but not what qualifies you as a man. Thanks to Dollarweed for not making my Night's Watch solo!

Let's get right, so we can live right, so we can lead right, so we can leave right!

What’s your biggest problem right now? I don’t know why this question kept coming up, Hoveround story. But for me it was all the farts and being trapped down wind from last. Hard to speed up with a bum knee. Eventually found clean air. Lots of laughs and fun with this group this morning. Great way to start the day other than all the shiz ????

Played CrossyRoad coming back across Oleander almost got Froggered. But thanks to Ash’s stadium lighting, we all survived! Back at the COT LETC prayed us out for my 2.0 Linc with upcoming broken arm surgery, my Aunt SheShe, Pixels friend Brett, LETCs dad and Fire Marshall Bill still dealing Hope even when he’s not there.

Thang: 5 Runners & 4 Ruckers departed lot M for the clean roads of the UNCW campus. The runners made a quick trip off campus to visit the scene of a car crash that happened 14 years ago this week. Where my M was hit by a drunk driver and broke her pelvis. This has become an annual exercise for me. It's not the easiest thing to do, nor should it be. It opens old wounds just enough to let those feeling flood back through my mind and body. I am grateful that GOD provided an angel to save her life, and grateful for the time we get to spend together. Time heals all wounds, and this location and memory don't hold the same power anymore. But I want to continue to remember that GOD is good and that he can turn a bad situation in to something good. He redeems all things. We took a knee, said a quick prayer and then back to it. Retracing our steps back to the parking deck for some vertical miles (3.4).
