Merkins and 2024 Reflecting

Event Date

Dec 13, 2024

AO


7 got it done today at Emmaus. Red lights run en route – at least 1. 

Warmorama – all the classics. SSH, IST, Long snapper, toy soldier, first round of merkins x10 IC

Thang – keeping it simple today, merkins and abs. Tour of the AO. Merkins x10 IC at each stop for a total of 100, lots of core work, and a round of helping hands – which, despite Red’s protestations, is not a secret communist exercise. Finished with a merkin time bomb and back to base.

Moleskin – good crowd for a Friday the 13th edition of Emmaus. Great to have Blackberry back out – hopefully we see him on a more frequent basis in 2025. Confidence in running poorly timed red lights continues to grow with this group, so proud. Jedi with some great F2 leadership today helping us reflect on accomplishments over the last 90 days and throughout 2024. Lots of delegation getting done with this group, focus on financial stability, more quality family time, all positive. Looking forward to even more growth in 2025.

-Volunteers are needed for water stations for the Huntersville Half. Please see Cherry Bomb if you can help.

-MQ’s are still needed for a few AOs beginning in January. DM Toby or Omega if you are interested.

-Drebin will be coordinating a group of F3 Pax who wish to volunteer for western NC storm recovery efforts on 1/11 (likely in Burnsville). Please reach out to Drebin if you are interested in volunteering. 

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.
