Moleskin:

The Pax this morning were hungry for a good beat down. They didn’t complain and could’ve kept going all day. We worked hard, and may be sore tomorrow, but it was worth it.

We discussed our feelings about wildlife documentaries and you tube videos of animals being taken as prey by predators in nature. It is hard to watch, but still something that you can’t turn off. Turnpike then asked if we had seen these videos with Snoop Dogg commentating. We all knew Turnpike was OG, but we didn’t know that he was down with the DO double G.

Miyagi wants to keep the momentum going after posting again today. We hope to see you again soon bro. Great job today! Snake Eyes is a beast as usual and is in the drivers seat as the illustrious MQ of this great AO. Turnpike is quiet but deadly. He can put things into overdrive anytime he sees fit.

We all got it done today and are better for it. It’s always great to start the weekend with F3 brothers.

Reminder:

The F3 mission statement is “to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership”. 

F3 5 Core Principles:

Workouts …

  • Are free of charge
  • Are open to all men
  • Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
  • Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
  • End with a Circle of Trust

There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.

Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one.

 

Until next time…

(aka Tobra Commander, Tobra Kai, Tobi-Wan, Teletoby, Tobias, Tobadia, “Toe”bee, TobyMac, Tob-lerone, TOB-the-wet-sprocket, Mr TOBoto, etc.)
