10 men woke up this morning and said “Dang it’s cold, and is it snowing now?” and still came to Titan. Love it.
When: 01.30.2019 5:30 AM
Conditions: 20 degrees, windchill lower, with progressively sticky snowflakes throughout the morning.
Pax: Brother at Law (QIC); Bad Boy; CCR; Rev; Porcelain; Crab Legs; Hi Viz; Pumpkin Spice; Trapper Keeper; Tampa Libra.
WOR: Easy mosey taking the long way to the backside of the Parthenon, where we did a nice mix of SSH, GMs, WMHs, lung and LBAC, lung and RBAC, overhead press, and seal claps.
THANG: Mosey back to the front of the Parthenon and under cover, where we would perform four super sets. You would keep doing each super set AMRAP for five minutes. When I called time, then we all run the big hill loop. Gather back at the Parthenon and move onto the next super set.
Set 1: Lateral box step up x10 on each leg; box jumps x10
Run the big hill loop.
Set 2: DIDs for 4 minutes (20 dips, 15 incline merkins, 10 decline merkins)
Run the big hill loop.
Set 3: Bunsen Burners (bulgarian split squats x10 each leg); 40 mountain climbers.
Run the big hill loop.
Set 4: Broad jump as far as possible, then fast feet backwards to starting point x10; plank jacks x10; Carolina dry docks x10.
Run half the big hill loop and gather at virtuous statue for…
MARY: Simple, but effective: 1 minute high plank, 30 seconds side plank, 30 seconds other side plank, 1 minute high plank, 5 GMs, 10 WMHs. All done.
Announcements: First Friday Lunch this Friday, February 1, at the Cookery at 11:30 AM. Be there. Tampa Libra will not be there. West Park (name TBD) tomorrow at 5:30. Q Source with Porcelain at 3 Brothers after Titan. I could not make it but I’m sure it was great.
Prayer Requests: Pumpkin Spice’s wife’s knee (meniscus surgery); Bad Boy’s M is six weeks away from their next 2.0 and related Bad Boy is cramming in a lot of business travel in February to be home for deliver, so prayers for safe travels too; Crab Legs is in a good place after some discernment about work, so hoping to keep that momentum moving forward.
Theme of today’s prayer, in continuing with my personal work with Ignatian Spirituality, was focusing on cura personalis, Latin for “care for the whole person.” I think F3 does a great job with that and has really helped me focus on all aspects of my life.

It didn’t feel as cold as the mercury indicated and the snow was truly beautiful, so it made for a very special Titan this morning. Always a privilege to lead and be pushed by you guys.
Brother at Law
