I feel one of the core foundations of F3 is based in this mindset;”Challenge to Change”!  If you read nothing more, I want to encourage you to step up and sign up to Q a work out with the mindset of at least 1 per month!

Due the “long” drive from Metry and a blocked road, the Q rolled in hot….dropping keys walking into the circle to give a disclaimer; essentially work out at your own risk!  The “push yourself but don’t hurt yourself notation was given BUT with the following thought….don’t sell yourself short on working hard just because something is uncomfortable.

Q had pax break up into 2 groups – Mosey to the levee.  Crossing the tracks into the muck the F3 mindset of “embracing the suck” was thrown out.

Q formed Pax into 2 columns (“lines” per Mariah) for an Indian run back to the flag.

30 secs and few Pax behind – 3 Purpees then down to a plank hold until the 6 arrived.

Count off – Name O – Announcements – Intentions

Prayer – Take nothing for granted – give thanks as well as give service to others.  Open your heart to giving and receiving forgiveness.

Challenge yourself to lead – sign up to Q – if you need help there are plenty among your F3 brothers who would eagerly provide support and recommendations.

Thank you Yankee for staying to help put the Pax name list together.
