Moleskin:

  • With 30 guys, I needed a bigger speaker!  I had to move around the circle today so everyone could enjoy some tunes. Monday YHC takes the healm again and this time I will come prepared with suitcase speaker!  30 guys is a lot but with a Tabata, it's very manageable!  Largest for me to date was 90 at Grand Oak's convergence/Grand Opening – that was well…pretty unmanageable.
  • Das Boot had the co-Q but decided that tunes on Tuesday with a Tabata was just a better option.  Thanks for leading, and thanks for taking us home with Mary as I brought up the 6 #nomanleftbehind
  • As I said today, you can blame Special Sauce for today's workout.  We had some 2nd F at the Zac Brown concert last week and in a compromised state of mind I got SS to HC to today's workout, but his only request was limited running due to his achilles boo boo….DONE!  And BTW – he was jumping higher than most anyone during the legs portion of the Tabata – basically he's milking his excuse of an injury #he'sfine
  • Swamp Thing showed us perfect college BBall jump shot form today but almost hit is head on the clouds today while jumping….although he was begging for mercy after the first set of the Tabata (chest) but dug deep and crushed the rest today.
  • Scrum was probably getting a little anxious today not running as much as he'd like – no worries, the workout this coming Monday will be for you!  #running #biggerspeakertoo
  • And with 25 more guys to talk about – I have a day job I need to get to – so GREAT job by all, and see you Monday!
  • EH (emotional headlock) someone this month and get them to commit to working out with the F3 group! It's done much more for me than I ever expected – better shape (that was a given), better mentally, gained friendships I never would have had without F3, better husband, better father (when I get home from a workout at 0630 and my middle son (11 y/o) is getting ready for school and asks – "how was the workout you led today Dad….did you make it hard….?", that makes a difference in how your kid(s) see you as a Father, and your wife/sig other see you as well.  

Until next time – Ditka
