SSH and Windmills while Beaker geared-up and joined us.
Ran to the new parking lot at the top of main for more warm-up:
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
SealJacks
Plank Punches
Travoltas

THE THANG:
Ran to Blackwell’s Tax service parking lot, which became our starting point for each accumulator round.

For each round, an exercise was called and pax ran to first telephone pole to do one rep (4 count), then ran to second pole for 2, 3rd pole for 3, and so on, until the 9th pole was reached and 9 reps were done. Once leading pax completed, he ran back and “swept” everyone else, wherever they were, such that we all ran back together.

We got half way through my weinke of 10 exercises:
1. Mountain Climbers
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters
5. Speed Skaters

Back to COT for a few exercises of Mary.

COT:
Happy New Year! Went around the COT, asked everyone 1. what were they most thankful for in 2025; 2. What about 2025 that they were glad it is over and gone; and 3. What are they looking forward to in 2026. A lot of great candor in the COT regarding this. THIS is what the COT is all about!

Take what you are getting out of F3, how it has helped make you better in whatever ways, and try your best to pay it forward and spread it. Take the positive ripple effects it has had in your life and continue to make more positive ripple effects, eventually all those ripples will cover oceans. Someone may see what you are doing, how you are becoming a better person, and may want a part of that for themselves. If you can EH them into F3, great, but at the least be a positive impact on them. It may be all they need to push themselves out of their situations and into something better.

Leadership is not a title, rank, or job description – it is a decision. People spend their entire careers trying to have a seat at the “leadership” table. It’s not a position to hold but a decision to put other people first. Thank you men for being the leaders our community needs.

Aye!
