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

The Thang
As we moved toward the Thang, I failed to explain to the group that it is exactly 56 days until the Masters and 35 days until St. Patrick’s Day. Both of these dates mean a lot to me, and my family. St Patrick’s day is a celebration of my heritage and family. The Masters is a celebration of spring and memories of watching golf with my dad and grandfathers. The one thing that brings both of these dates together is tempo. So we will be doing a tempo workout, Long, Long, Short, Short, Short, Short.

Announcements/Prayer Requests:
Blood Drive – February 25th
COT: We are truly blessed individuals, I was reminded of this quote:
“If you are in neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has it foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” Desmond Tutu
I challenged the PAX in attendance to find an injustice they see in their lives, inequalities exist in our society, racial, sexual, LGBTQ are all around us. Find a cause, find an injustice and work to have it removed from our society through your words and actions.
I took us out in an Irish Blessing:
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind blow at your back,
May the sun, shine warmly on your face
May the rain fall softly on your field
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
