Continued blessings to Kenya!

F3 Kenya :flag-ke: Update:
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes :athletic_shoe: :mans_shoe:
So I wanted everyone to know the funds we collected last year to send shoes to Kenya have been depleted and we still have roughly 1/2 the shoes left to ship! Now
@Sprocket
has graciously been holding them for us and I personally will continue to send them in small quantities like you see below as I can afford but would welcome any assistance from the Pax in the region. Not only that we have a new request to assist F3 Kenya in a new way in a more perpetual fashion that I believe will be far better in the long run for this community. Now I feel led to continue to support these men but I understand there are many, many equally as important and more local initiatives in the Fort to support. If you feel led however to help with this initiative please consider donating towards the $800-$1000 estimated to send the rest of the shoes we collected last fall.
Thank you again for all of your generosity this far. I’ve gotten to know F3 Safari well and the man’s heart for his people is incredibly humbling. It’s been a joy like none other to partner with him and what’s he’s doing out there!

Here is the link for the go fund me. Thank you so much brothers!

COT:
Shot for the Prayer of St. Francis, but didn’t quite have the thing memorized. Memorize is my word of the year, I’m working on it.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

An honor to lead such a solid crew.

Respawn of Tomahawk

WARMUP: 4:45 Prerun (Sherlock was conspicuously absent)

THE THANG: Disclaimer was disclaimed and the PAX were instructed to carry ~150lbs of extra coupons in addition to their bells on an Indian Run to the workout location…

The PAX moseyed their way on a poor form Indian Run to the field/hill adjacent to the basketball arena and circled up for the main event…a KB and Coupon Jacobs Ladder

PAX completed 10 reps of each exercise:
– KB Swings
– Single Arm Overhead Press (each arm)
– Overhead Tricep Extension
– Curls (each arm)
– Upright Rows
– Lawnmower Pulls (each arm)
– Merkins (1 hand on bell, switch halfway)
– Alternating Lunges (each leg)
– KB Goblet Squats
– KB Calf Raises

All of the coupons were picked up and moved to the top of the hill for 1 burpee, before returning all of the coupons back to the bottom of the hill

Rinse and repeat (reducing the KB and increasing the Burpee rep count by 1)

The PAX completed 5 rounds (45 reps of each exercise and 10 burpees) before needing to return to COT with all of the KBs and Coupons (0.6 miles round trip).

Great work by all! Glad to see the return of an OG AO in The Fort!!!
