The average age today was 48 with Hash Brown being the youngest at 26 and Twister/Short Sale being the War Daddies at 60. Today was a great example of the gift we have in F3. Many men live an isolated life of loneliness lacking friends and connections. They have lost track of school or service buddies years ago and Covid decimated their work and convenience relationships. What they are left with is time and no one to spend it with. That’s why F3 matters. We have true friendships that add value to our lives. We have a brotherhood of men that are older, younger, richer, and poorer. They don’t always look like you, vote like you, attend your church, or pull for your favorite team. And you know what, we are all better because of it. That’s why we have to share what was first given to us. EH that guy down the street. I promise he will appreciate the request as soon as he realizes you have what he needs. Be that guy for the guy that needs what you have.

Aye!

Great work by all pax. Some did their own thing, but all were sweating it out this humid morning that teased us with a breeze every once in a while.

Thanks FunHouse for the opportunity to lead.

3 Lessons of Marcus Aurelius

Leave a comment

WARMUP: off to Kimbrell’s after being disclaimed. PAX did LSS, Windmills (approved by Trucker), imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers and 50 side straddle hops – with a declining number of burpees (not approved by Trucker) in between exercises. From there – Mosey to Unity Presbyterian

THE THANG: lesson 1 – The happiness of your life correlated to the quality of your thoughts.
10 burpees followed by 7’s – Diamond merkins at the top of the driveway and squats at the bottom. Plank for the 6 or go get them.

Mosey to First Baptist for lesson 2

Lesson 2 – If you’re distressed by anything external, it is not due to the thing itself, but your estimate of it. And this you possess: the power to revoke it at any moment.

More 7’s – diamond Merkins at one end, run to the opposite end of the lot for squats and repeat until the sequence is complete.

Mosey to downtown Fort Mill on Main Street to find benches – 10 Bulgarian split squats each leg (for a notably absent Band Camp) and provide lesson 3

Lesson 3 – The best revenge is to be unlike the one who performed the injury.

Mosey to COT for a few AB exercises – but just a few – then 0600 was upon us.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer of CSAUPS
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks to Soup To Nuts for the call. Always grateful to post in the gloom with group of HIMs.

Honored,
Cyclops :eye:
