As YHC rolled onto the red carpet, I noticed that there were not as many paparazzi as usual snapping photos. Slowly, the paparazzi came trickling in but still rather light. Was it the cold? Was it the fear of 5 minutes of burpees? I guess we will never know. As show time approached, some attention getters made their way to production, “fashionably late”. 18 strong, downed the DRP and were ready for production. To the best of my knowledge, here are the credits!

Announcement that today is somewhat of a happy day for me as it is my boy’s (Happy Meal) 6th birthday.
Pledge of Allegiance (My two cents here, if there is a shovel flag present, the workout should start with the Pledge…no Kapernicks here!)
Mosey to cinema lot and circle up
Try to Stay Warm O Rama

Bear Crawl
Duck Walk
Crawl Bear (Omega’s favorite)
Frog Jumps
10x CDD IC
12x Low Flutter IC Toxic with a BS call. Really? “You’ll thank me later”. Later, “no, I still did not like that” Fair enough.
10X Monkey Humpers IC Yes, I did just go there…need the legs nice and warm.
Mosey to four way stop.

“CARRY”
WE ARE HERE TO CARRY YOU, THERE TO PUCK UP THE PIECES WHEN THE PIECES ARE BIGGER THAN LIFE. WE WILL CARRY TRHOUGHT THE TOUGH, STRENOUS, MIND-BENDING TIMES. CARRY YOU THROUGH THE BURDEN SPREAD AND SHARE THE BURDEN WITH YOU. WE WILL CARRY YOU UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO CARRY SOMEONE ELSE. WITH TIME YOU WILL CARRY ONE ANOTHER. THAT IS HOW WE CARRY EACH OTHER!
THIS IS F3 GENTLEMEN!
Warned I would not be doing 5 minutes of burpees…I was being nice. Hat Trick thought we were doing fireman carries. Ummm. No thank you. But we are partnering up…for a little fun.
Partner 1 runs the loop while partner 2 performs the exercise.
Flap Jack
Rinse and Repeat until total of reps achieved.
100 burpees (still took 5 minutes+ J)
200 Mericans
300 Squats
400 LBC’s
1000 total. Purposely ended with LBC’s knowing this may be the closest we get to dance with M.A.R.Y
1000 also represents the equation 10x10x10 or 10/10/10. The date we were hoping to have Michael born because let’s face it…that would have been pretty cool. Just a little fun after the myriad of miserable exercises…how do I know? I was often told! You are welcome!

New Friday AO with boot camp and bible study at Birkdale
I have my VQ at Berean. 430 ruck or run. 5am boot camp. 530 Bible study. Yes, YHC leading a bible study…what could I possibly say? #ShowToGrow
Oh, and why I am at it, I have the Blender on the 20th…another momentous occasion.
Things we learned…the Pax have no clue of the AO’s out there. Have you heard of the world wide web? May want to check it out. Just saying. F3isotope.com
YHC took us out in prayer. Lifting up all the spoken and unspoken prayers. Also praying for those affected by the hurricane, here and in the islands, that they can find peace and comfort to deal with the devastation and loss of life.
It’s an honor to be able, and capable, to lead these men today. Strong group and the work they put in was quite evident. SorryNotSorry it sucked.
I appreciate Holiday allowing me the opportunity for the Hollywood production.
Heartfelt thanks to those who still continue to reach out and offer support…we still need it and still greatly appreciate it.
Live life, own every second and never…never take anything for granted!
Happy birthday Happy Meal! Love you so much buddy!
Humbly Yours,
-Olive
