The pre-blast mentioned that this would be the warmest day of the week. What it failed to mention was that it would still be below freezing. When YHC arrived, The Force was hanging out in the car. He would not debark until Snake Eyes showed up. Elmers snuck in right before the buzzer. All were shivering so we set about to fix that in a hurry.

- Mountain Climbers x15 IC

Now that the blood was moving a little better, we each grabbed a cinder block and Zamperini-ed to the track where we set down our blocks and began the morning’s Thang.

Let’s Zamperini and put the blocks away so we can hang out with Mary (Jane).

Recover, recover.
In place of a traditional prayer during CoT, YHC talked about Christ’s birth and how He came to model leadership by being a servant. Then a reminder that the purpose of F3 is to invigorate male community leadership and that if we are not modeling that leadership by serving others during this Christmas season, we are failing to achieve the true point of F3. Achieving our fitness/weight objectives or setting PRs in races/CSAUP are fantastic, but leading others is the real reason we are here. Your challenge this Christmas season is to step up and lead in some fashion whether at work, at home, in the community or in F3.

- LawnDart is looking for Qs. Perfect opportunity to meet the Christmas challenge above!
- Lots of good options for a workout today; thanks to the men who opted to join me and make it worth rolling out of bed this morning
- SnakeEyes works subtly at the EH — I was halfway home before I realized he had gotten me to commit to a Wednesday post!
- Kudos to three other Qs today (Atlas, Stapler, Tater) who got in a back blast before me this morning
