Moleskin:

-The parachute sucks….

-T-Bone is always right and commands respect.

-Jaws is a former runner, turned boot-camper, who wants to be a runner again. Someone please ask him to clarify what he identifies as.

-Jingle Bells just ignores T-Bone.

-Calypso also ignores T-Bone.

-Gambini and Toby did extra reps on the partner Dora. We both wanted a rep recount as it appeared that other Pax who were behind our count somehow finished before us. That count was rigged…

-Turnpike is probably one of those quiet guys that will go off on you if he snaps. That’s why he’s a beast and takes out his wrath on everyone when he Q’s.

-Hasselhoff lives up to his name. He’s just a hard-charging, cool dude, and would look great in a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am.

-Drebin and YHC talked about our injuries as we ran. Seems like neither of us plan to slow down. Also, thanks for being the MQ at this prestigious AO!

Thanks for showing today gents. It’s always great to start the day together in the gloom.


COT/Prayer Requests:

-The Force’s Mother, Libby, for some bad test results given her battle with cancer. Pray for discernment among the medical professionals working with the family.

-All Pax who are going through caregiving issues and challenges with their parents.

-Unspoken prayer requests among F3.


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


Announcements:

-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).


Until next time…
