It was an honor to lead you men this morning. The dome held out and the only thing falling was reps and sweat!

As you take this day off, for most, reflect on how lucky we are to have the opportunity to get up and do the Murph. We can get up early and run freely around SCary, enjoy fellowship with friends, and even pray or speak freely at the end of it all.

John 15:13. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” This verse embodies the spirit of Memorial Day. Many gave all to keep these freedoms for us. Let’s not forget that!

Love you guys! MIAGD!

Another strong showing at Accelerator this morning. Yuge turnout, actually. People are saying it was the best ever. Today’s discussion was all about finding balance and being intentional with our time, especially when it comes to the ever-elusive work-life balance. A key takeaway was a fully self-driving Cybertruck is probably the best way to create a better balance. Thanks Kiffin! Great conversation, fellas, make it a great day.

Yogi was the Q and led the charge with 52 Card Pickup! Each PAX pulled a card in rotating fashion. Diamonds resulted in diamond merkins, clubs required squats, hearts were burpees and spades were WWII’s. Within each suit ace = 15 reps, kings = 13 reps, queen = 12 reps, jack = 11, 10 = 10, 9 =9 and so on. Let’s not forget the Joker = 10 of any choice exercise. The deck was split in half with one stack uphill and the other down hill with an 80 yard hustle in between. All PAX pulled cards.

Many thanks to HGTV for organizing Honor Week!

At the end of the workout Yogi offered words of wisdom encouraging all not to hold it in and to lean on your brothers in arms, church family and others during hard times.

Announcements:
Kiffin let us know that Tuesday at Just Dough It they will be running F3 Tokens to Henry’s House. Henry is 9 years old and just beat stage 4 cancer!

Kitty Litter let us know that Monday at 88MPH we will begin The Murph and run down to Ritter do some stuff and run back to Waverly Place.

Prayers:
Life Alert just getting back from vacation working through family conflict.

Pickup mentioned Prayers for those in memory of veterans and those who have given all for our country this Memorial Day Weekend.

Great discussion on Virtuous Leadership today. Questions discussed included:

Am I a virtuous leader?
If no, am I becoming one?
Can a man be accountable to himself?
Where am I in the development process as defined by Qsource? Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right, or Leave Right?

It was an honor to lead today. I hope each of you came away with something that helps your day be a little better

What a glorious morning to lead the the PAX.the weather was fantastic and the fellowship was even better. We started out with 2 laps around the church and quickly circled up for some SSH’s and good mornings. Next up 11’s in the parking lot (Merkins on one side Boat Canoes on the other). From there we headed over to Mookies Pickle and did 11 merkin/boat canoes at 3 corners and 12 of each at the final corner With about 10 minutes left we took the long way back to flag and proceeded to plank hold while random pax jumped rope.

3 + miles was achieved and we hit 100 merkins & boat canoes.

We had multiple ruckers and a big turnout of folks for the EC.

Grateful to lead the pax and prayers for Petey, My M for a speedy recovery from her surgery and safe travels for Sparky as he heads back to Wisconsin.

Was there ever a doubt? Good crowd today as Pinto led us up and down the many stairwells of Waverly.

1 site Q was in attendance. He must have been enticed by the preblast.

Renaming of Chipper’s 2.0 at COT. He will from this day forward be known as Lithium.

Strong work and great fellowship this morning. Pinto took us out with some powerful thoughts. Men need to be around other men, and if you are struggling with anything, talk to the men around you.

Expecting big numbers next week with a Peak City invasion of JRI.

What’s Up Scary!

A very pleasant morning it was over in the land of up lighted $2M+ houses, pineapples and doggy treat vending machines (WTF).

21 gathered for the ME and I was thrilled with the group of men who decided to join me at JIU this am. A solid group of guys I wish I saw more often (gotta get over to Scary more often).

Started with a 1 mike pre run with Amway, Astro, Chipper, Kitty Litter and Home Grown. EHarmony was out on a ruck.

Pledge.

Standard Warm Up.

Mosey to the Big House Neighborhood for Mr T. We found some hills along with our inside voice (even Yogi and me) and worked the T along with a POS.

We all (we almost all) did 5 burpees every time the words What’s Up were said. I think we did about 40 extras.

Back to the park for a flawless Motivator.

Wrapped up with a set of 140s. Joe Smiff was confused. I really miss both Joe’s and JP’s voices. Smooth.

COT.
21 Pax.

Praises for a young Hank (middle schooler friend of Fleder family) who just wrapped up Chemo for his cancer. There was a big celly. God is good.

Prayers for Yogi who is working through some family and personal challenges. Keep your head up, Yogi!

Closed with a Prayer for Friends.

HGTV asked me to share some wisdom. For me, its be yourself and be thankful for the great stuff we have with our F3 Community. It’s the best.

Later
MIAGD.

Success, how is it defined by ourselves, those around us, and society. How should it be defined? How do these definitions affect our lives and the lives of those around us?

Great conversation this morning gents.
