The Thang
F3Nolensville Tour: Mosey ~2.5 miles total with various speedbumps. Whenever you finish a set and are waiting for the 6, Freddie Mercury (bicycle theme, get it?) We have to show our FNG what F3Nolensville is all about… We visited: NUMC and crawl-beared up the parking lot exit ramp, next to the new storefronts being built at the corner of Rocky Fork/Nolensville Rd. across from the BrokenWheel Cemetery and busted out 20 and 15 inverted rows on the hand rails with 10 Lt. Dangers in between. Up and Mosey to the Amish Feed Mill for some Parking Lot Shuffle with suicide sprint and tap the curb with fingers, politician back and perform 2 merkins in the adjacent slot all the way around the lot. Next…it’s kind a my thing and we are right there so….BEAR CRAWL AND CRAWL BEAR THE BRIDGE! Welcome to F3Nolensville Nathan… GET SOME! (Amazing to see the growth with this particular exercise. Y’all are killing it!) 5 squat bonus for any stoppage along the way. Next, mosey to the parking lot of MillCreek Church of Christ for some parking lot line jump variations waiting for the 6 to keep the heart rate up. Next, Mosey to the parking lot of Powder Buy the POUND (they basically invited us) for some Clerkins, Derkins and Flutter kix till the 6. Recover and Mosey to the Mill Creek Brewery parking lot where a Volley Ball Net had been previously set up by Coach Numbtucks for some drills. We faced off with a partner and Jumped to block then side step and R&R down the length of the net. Then boxing training began with duck under sidestep of the net with jab/cross combo back and forth down the length of the net. I counted 6 net touch violations after I finished and so we did 6 penalty Yurpees as Coach would want us to. Time is slipping away so we moseyed to the Pound parking lot where we did a Sunrise Sampler till the 6 (10 Derkins, Irkins, Dips, Benchjumps) and then YHC forced the PAX to endure the mandatory post-party of Pull-ups to failure (proud of the effort! Keep this number in mind as you may see this again…Gauge the growth)
Tour de Nolensville part 1 complete!
CoT/Numbers/Names/Christening of FNG
Moleskin/What we Learned:
- I definitely missed being out in the gloom with you men, my friends, and am glad to be back
- Great to meet another FNG via Creeper: “JudgeJudy”
- See you Saturday for another Q!!!!!!!!!!! (Unless someone appeals my signup, I am open to co-Q or relinquish my spot. Otherwise, happy to lead)
- Keep NumbTucks and his fam in your prayers as he leaves on a trip to Pittsburgh for his wife’s doctoral degree conference and then to the Bahamas for a getaway
- Exhorted the PAX to consider and contrast the mindsets of Dickens’ character Scrooge from a Christmas Carol: a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!” with Jesus Christ who, in Phillipians 2:5-8 is described as follows:
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[c] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” This is the bad and good news of Christmas…each one of us is naturally a Scrooge, a grasping, proud and covetous sinner, but when transformed by grace we can have the mindset of Christ, no longer grasping but giving in humility. This happens by faith and if you have questions or want to talk more about this, reach out to me and we can get a beer or coffee…
3D, out!
