COT: My why for F3 is simple we can give others a path to being better while doing so ourselves. In our lives, there are things that make us better off, or worse off. The mission is simple and compelling.

Prayers were lifted up for U-Haul and his family and DD & his M going through cancer treatment.

Praise for Sofrito turning 50 and respect.

This was a Q school workout. Reminders shared wi the pax are below. Thanks for the call Cubbie 👁️

Q-school Tips: 3-31-26
1 – when running fitness levels vary widely; 4 corners is great.
2 – calling cadence demonstrated
3 – scout your site beforehand if possible
4 – keeping the group together: run-exercise-run-exercise-run-exercise
5 – 5 minutes of Mary – great way to have a new pax call an exercise and lead in a cadence
6 – have a modified exercise in reserve if fitness levels vary widely – ie: burpee modified down to a flying squirrel or a squat into a plank and return to upright. Modify as needed to avoid injury; don’t modify to avoid effort
7 – partner work (ie: Dora) – encourages pax and takes cadence off of Q (freed to lead…..and delegate)
8 – site q is responsible for site; q is responsible for the outcome of the workout: Credo part 1 – leave no man behind
Credo part 2 – leave no man where you found him

Homestead Route

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not at this AO. But YHC did jump a lot from 5:10-5:14 (Q-drenaline)

THE THANG: Run to WillowBrook and back via Orchard Park Elementary. Proof: https://www.strava.com/activities/17574144266

MARY: Might have passed her on the route, not sure.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for Bethel Men’s Shelter THIS THURSDAY! The need is great, the workers are few.

NMM: I articulated the route as starting out towards the QT, but then immediately ran the wrong direction. Nobody said anything. 😥 (Retread and I corrected the route, but come on men!)

When the leader doesn’t do what they said they’d do, other leaders should speak up. Our community needs your voice. Hold each other accountable.
