Stormbreaker – January 10, 2022
5:30am – 21 degrees, with the ground firmly frozen solid, as demonstrated by the blade of the DZ shovel flag bending to 90 degrees.
PAX: Baby Shoes, Sister Act, Schrute, Supe, Dr. Thunder, Gump, Pain Killer, Gobbler
At 5:10 Some PAX began doing burpees for the January Burpee Challenge.
At 5:30am, I stated the F3 mission statement, the 3Fs (Fitness, Fellowship, Faith) and the 5 core principles (Free, Open to all Men, Held Outdoors, Led in a rotating fashion, End in a COT). I Also mentioned the F3 moto, we leave no man behind, and no man where we found him. I stated that I am not a professional, and all exercises could be modified if needed. I also mentioned my inspiration for the workout, and we would not do any running

Announcements/Prayer Requests:
CSAUP date is set for 1/29, sign up
ABIDE & Heartland Hope volunteer opportunities on 1/15, check with Squeeky Clean or Wentworth for sign ups
Queen Service began last week, contact UHaul for signups
COT: For all those times we think we can’t, maybe we should try – Simon Sinek
I happened upon this quote from Simon Sinek, I felt that I should share with the PAX that the CSAUP is difficult, but with the proper prep, the proper mental conditioning, we can all make it through. The weather may not be great, but the fellowship from the PAX will keep you motivated and distracted enough to complete the runs, finish the beatdowns and cross the finish line.
YHC lead the PAX out in brief prayer.
