MOLESKIN:
I am blessed to have you all in my life – thank you for making me better; it all counts, the work outs, the lunches, the beer and spirits tasting nights, the weddings, the dinners, the text messages, the baseball, basketball and football games, the coffee time after every workout, all of it … my life is better for it, thank you. 10 years – “its better to be consistent than it is to be occasionally great” & 10 years – “show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are” – “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”
WOW:
Men – if no one had told you yet today – I love you.
The magic most of us are looking for is in the work we are avoiding
What we are not changing we are choosing
If the last 10 years of my life were a person here what they would say!
Year 10 would tell Year 1 – thank you for having the courage to show up 1) somewhere new 2) to meet someone new and 3) to do something new (men in there late 30’s and early 40’s are not known for doing new things and making new friends) so Year 10 or the Pax I am today is so proud of Year 1 – the sad clown that I was
Year 8 and 9 would tell Year 2 and 3 that F3 is more than Fitness – Year 8 and 9 would encourage Year 2 and 3 to be more engaging and to be more involved in the planning and aligning of Fellowship and Faith – to remind myself that being a sad clown has its up’s and it’s down’s and that these men truly and genuinely have your back
Year 5 would tell Year 4 that these next two years you’d be focused on winning at work and from time to time you’d have the ability to dabble in Fellowship and in Faith (and although you did not know it – you were now building a new foundation of beliefs through the men you were spending time with) Year 5 would say working on your Fitness will keep you Optimistic BUT Fellowship and Faith is the missing gap when it comes to winning the battle against the sad clown syndrome
Year 7 would tell year 6 how proud he was of him – that after 5 years of Fitness – he now with intention shows up with courages vulnerability – he would whisper Fellowship and Faith is just as important as Fitness – maybe even just a little bit more important during certain stretches of your life – Year 7, 8 and 9 would tell Year 6 – time to start consistently showing up for yourself because in doing so you are also showing up for the man standing next to you and that ma standing next to you is who you were Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 so …. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding and the best way to change is to take massive and aggressive action to intentionally choose action

First Thang – 7 Circles of Hell
We started at the Pavillion. We ran a circle (square really). We stopped at the northeast side of the east volleyball court then the northwest side (by the bathrooms) then the southwest side (circle by the bridge over the water and finally back a the Pavillion.
At each of the 4 locations we did the same exercise. The idea was to superset the muscle and get to something like failure or a burn as a result of limited rest between exercises. We did seven rounds as follows:
(remember each round is 4 sets of exercises)
Round 1 – Legs – 15 IC Bonnie Blair
Round 2 – Legs – 20 Squats (slow and deep)
Round 3 – Abs – 20 Low Flutters
Round 4 – Abs – 20 LBC’s
Round 5 – Chest/arms – 25 Merkins
Round 6 – Arms – 15 Dips (using the picnic tables along the way and start and finish in the pavilion)
Round 7 – 5 to 7 Burpees (users choice)
Second Thang – Coupon Work – did this because I made everyone bring them
20 Bent over Rows
15 curls
15 Overhead Presses
Step-up Complex – 5 right leg, 5 left leg 5 right side 5 left side, 10 Calf raises
Rinse and repeat
Mary
We threw in 2 Mary exercised but I do not remember what. Calf raises and planks I think

I picked up this Q because nobody had taken it by noon on Friday, so, I did my duty. I could tell people were out so I was not sure anyone would even show up. But 7 others chose to brave my circles of hell, and one chose to ruck with me. This was my third Q at Sauerpatch and this one I was excited about. I got the idea for supersets from HHH’s last Q there. It has been a week since my Q, so, unfortunately, due to work commitments, I do not remember much about the mumble chatter outside of Dr. Freud and Mufasa discussing college basketball tourneys.
Supposedly, it was Form Week so at the end of each round we shared our pro-tips on the exercise we just completed. Exercise most done wrong with tips offered up … yep squats. Do em slow so you can do emright. Butt over the heals, back straight, head up, arms for balance. Legs to 90 degrees. You know the way.
I had plans for what I feel is going to be a great Q for the set-up at Sauerpatch on March 21 (yesterday but it will have to wait April as I ended up having to work the weekend of March 21. If you read this Backblast and get to this part and are curious. Let me know….
Words of Wisdom
I do not remember what we shared but we did have a brief conversation. I offer the following quick hits:
As a leader – remember, one is too small a number. AND
As a leader – people don’t work for you they work with you

A fun runback of last years March Madness @Patmos. It seemed to be a well liked one. I modified and did all squats, steps ups, etc. Still having a lot of time and trouble healing my neck continued prayers for that. It’s hard to go out and Q or be at a beatdown where you can’t do much and it feels bad seeing everyone push themselves so well that’s all I want to do. I was happy to get out and lead again today, even if the workout was a fun write it yourself kind of leading.
Kepe on pressing, put in the work, I’m excited to get back full time once I’m healed up!
God bless! Get your easter prep done men help our event 3/28!
