“It’s easy to get distracted watching what everyone else is doing. Tend to your own fire.” – Bob Goff

YHC had a nice workout planned for today but realized there was no real theme. Working backwards, and mindlessly scrolling on Twitter for inspiration last night, YHC found the Bob Goff quote above. So… in the struggle in the gloom, “tending to your own fire” (aka you v you, focus on yourself in the present moment, be present) was the theme which came with lots of mumble chatter and puns about kindling, fire, and putting the fire out.

The Thang:

Warm-up:

• 21’s (SSH IC to 21 count – first 3 IC out loud with remainder “in your head”)
  • YHC screwed this up so we all jumped at the chance to do 10 penalty burpees before trying again.

Mosey to the park

• WMH (“Yes, we are still warming up”).

Thing 1: 5 Rounds (modified “Brenton” WOD):

• 100ft Bear Crawl
• 100ft broad jump (after every 5 jumps, PAX completed 3 burpees)
  • (Lots of 10-counts were interspersed between rounds.. this was a gasser)
  • Proverbs 4: 23 encouragement – “Guard your heart”
    • Pay attention to your self talk, let your community be a source of affirmation when you’re struggling, you can only serve and pour out what has been poured in to you.

PAX Mosey …walked to the building and partnered up …

Thing 2: Keep Holding On

• PAX 1 – Balls to Wall Hold
• PAX 2 – Sprint across parking lot, 10 dry docks, Balls to Wall Hold
  • PAX 2 must assume BTW Hold before PAX 1 drops
• Again, this was a gasser… Each PAX completed 3 BTW Holds before recovering

Thing 3 (and Mary): 6 round Tabata (20s on: 10s off)

Set 1: 3 rounds pull-ups/ inverted rows / or dead hangs   +   3 rounds Sea Turtles

Set 2: Heels to Heaven   +   WWII

(It was here that Milton said what we all were thinking…”Good Q! Let’s close out..”)

Mosey’d back to the Shovelflag

COT: 

• This is YHC’s last Q of the year as I’ll be on the IR after a procedure Thursday for ~3 weeks
• Continued prayer’s for Halfback’s family in Colombia
• Dinghy and Nickelback as they single-dad over the next week(s)

Men, thank you again for the privilege of leading you all in the gloom… and excellent work pushing through this morning! My first post was Jan 4th 2021 and it has been a solid journey of a year. Thank you for the support, encouragement, and the push each morning in the gloom. It’s a honor running alongside you all. F3 is truly something special and worth stewarding well!
