– Welcome to FNG Marcus Castro (F3 Fidel). Really, no doubt on what his nickname would be. Welcome to F3 and we hope you’ll be back many more times.
– Definitely a lot of variety in the workout today with YHC and Header working totally different muscle groups (with no pre planning on this either).
– Alligator Arms? Bulldog has perhaps the fastest count YHC has ever heard during the air presses for Jack Webbs. Just sayin’…
-Don’t Mess with Psycho T – was bringing some serious heat during Ugly Bases. Thought I saw a laugh/smirk. You’d think the guy was a professional athlete or something… Seriously, Psycho T led a very strong and inspirational closing prayer in COT reminding us all to turn to Christ for our strength. Amen to that brother! #3rdF #strong
– Seemed like all the pax enjoyed the workouts. YHC can’t speak for Header but “Ugly Bases” will definitely be back since it was so enjoyed by all the pax. #crowdpleaser
Announcements
– Devil’s Turn tomorrow AM at McAlpine Greenway off of Sardis Road. 5:15 for 6 miles and 5:30 for 4 miles.
– Billingsville tutoring continuing again tonight and every Wednesday. Great way to impact a young person and refresh yourself with 3rd grade math.
– Remember to make it a point to lift each other up and check on folks that you know or believe may be struggling. Let’s all turn attention to each other so that F3 is not just a workout group. #notcrossfit
This week we celebrate Easter and we should all be mindful of Christ’s sacrifice and that by following Him we get something we do not deserve – eternal life. #grace Pews will likely be full at church Sunday. Use this time as an opportunity to minister to and encourage folks who do not attend church regularly. #Hisexample
All I got brothers.
Aye!
