TTT then covered the 5 core principles of F3. 1) Open to ALL men. 2. Always Free. 3) Always held outdoors, 4) Lead in a rotating fashion and 5) Ends with a Circle of Trust (COT).
Warm-A-Rama
We ran a mosey around the parking lot and then came up on a hill just north of the parking lot. We then bear crawled up and down the hill in between each warm-a-rama exercises
• SSH – 20 IC
• Don Quixotes / Windmills – 20 IC

After Warm a rama the pax broke into 2 man groups and did the following workouts. After each round of workouts the 2 man group would run to the other cone to complete that round of workouts. These cones were set up .3 of a mile apart. I figured this extra running would give the PAX a good start on the CSAUP training.

Announcements/Prayer Requests: CSAUP, First Friday Lunch. Prayers for Baby Sharks friend. Swipers daughter.
COT: I challenged all pax to ask their wives and kids what are our top 3 loves/favorite things in life as dads/husbands.
We as men think we are a specific kind of person, and we think we are doing the right things but sometimes that’s just not true. A few of the pax members mentioned it’s been a year since I have Q’dand yes that’s a long time but honestly, it’s what my path required. I asked my family this question a year ago and the answers I will not share on this backblast, you should’ve been to the workout, but they were not answers I was proud of. Last night before the family went to bed, I asked these questions again and their answers were 1. Mommy 2. Hunter and 3. Haylie. NO SPECIFIC ORDER. All three, my wife and my 2 kids all answered with family family and family. This was something I could be proud of. Although I was able to turn this around not everyone else is so lucky. I challenged the guys today to ask their families and if they don’t like the answers then change it, one day at a time. Get Right, Live Right, and Leave Right. Leave Right can mean something different for all but for me this meant finding balance. At least right now it does.
Aye TTT!!
TTT lead us out in prayer.
