THE THANG: Muster on the grassy patch in back parking lot where we started, left, and returned a few times. Running took us to the south wall of HT, the tire shop and the north wall of HT in between stops at the grass. Pax fit 100 burpees into the workout in doses of 10. Other fun included bear crawl, crawl bear, crab walks, lunges, various flavors of Mary, and it was all topped off with suicides.
MARY: Included along the way
ANNOUNCEMENTS: New name of HT workouts Wed/Fri is The Forge! also encouragement to register for Break the Dam run on 1/31, plus 8-blocker on Jan 3rd at Panera
COT: Encouragement for pax to bring some closure to 2025 before starting 2026 by reviewing photos on their phone from Thanksgiving through Christmas period. This practice always grounds me and give me perspective. It especially deflates anxious thinking/feeling about future and various regrets/shame by providing a very real and visible depiction of the true blessings and joy in my life.

Thanks for the invite Miyagi! Carry on with your mission of forging HIM!

3rd F Word of the Month For January: Alignment

Leave a comment

Spiritual View:
Alignment begins with surrendering the illusion of control. Scripture reminds us that when our ways align with God’s will, our paths become clearer—even when they’re not easier. Alignment isn’t about having everything figured out; it’s about committing to the right direction. When faith, priorities, and actions line up, confusion gives way to peace and purpose. Misalignment, on the other hand, drains energy and breeds frustration. This month challenges men to ask: What am I chasing, and does it align with who God is calling me to be?

Non-Religious View:
Alignment is about coherence—when values, actions, and priorities point in the same direction. When they don’t, life feels heavy and scattered. Burnout often isn’t from doing too much, but from doing the wrong things. This month is a reset: identify what matters, cut what doesn’t, and focus energy where it actually produces impact. Alignment doesn’t require faith—it requires honesty.
