Reflection Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

A little more than 5 years ago on a Friday afternoon I was eating lunch uptown with a friend and David Underwood walked by, he knew my friend so we started chatting.  We discovered we both lived in Denver, so he handed me an F3 business card and said I should come check it out.  My first post to Mustang was the following Monday morning.  I learned that David Underwood was not known in those parts and was only known as Zip Loc.  I thought I was in shape, just so happened I posted on the last Monday of the month, which is now my favorite day of the month….Murph Monday!  Anyway, I came to F3 looking for fitness and was given Fellowship and Faith as part of the package unexpectedly.  I did not understand what the Lord had planned for me and I am incredibly thankful that I posted that Monday morning.  Thank you to all the F3 brothers who I've leaned on, looked up to and even on occasion had enough faith to follow me.  

Please keep Zip Loc, Sonar, Hannah, Steve, Janet, Annalise & Mr Hansel in your prayers.

  • We got 50 burpees per man in this morning, 700 as a group…..plus 5 extra from Iron Horse for a total of 705.  Strong!
  • Clark & Mulligan were at my first post and here 5 years later – cheers to you guys
  • Crabby started burpees as soon as we arrived at a new spot or finished an OYO set – he may have just been doing extra credit because the rest of us are so slow compared to him
  • Mater thinks burpees are stupid…..shocker
  • Travolta sets a record for a 10 count that lasted a full miinute
  • We hope Scope shows to BBBroga tomorrow, he is the entertainment!
  • SWFL came back to the AO after he'd run home, showered, dressed, maybe eaten to tell us to get to work – could he be Clark Kent?
  • Dr D, Mater & Jon Bon closed The Meat Locker for the morning and converged at Mustang – thank you fellas
  • YHC has only 27 more years to be doing this at the same age Sparrow does it every day – we can all only hope to be as strong!
  • Crawdad may be getting back in the rotation now that he can actually attend races instead of watching them from hotel rooms – great to have you back bro!
  • Shake Weight is ready for his trip west but will not be taking his bike – burpees are easy in a hotel room or at a campground

Pleasure to lead this morning gentlemen.  Namaste, Bertha
