“Esse quam videri”

“Lay and pray”

Progress vs movement

We can’t do life alone, and yet we try.

F3 is blessing.

As mentioned in the discussion, this song hits WAY harder now:

Pearls on a String across to Waverly to the secret Loch Lomond path to Summerwinds to Tryon back around Waverly to home. Earned the today due to waiting too long at the crosswalks. Downpour at the end made this one memorable. 4/4 at bagelteria. MIAGD!

9 bootcampers and 7 run clubbers this AM.

One last trip to the beach this morning to send out summer on a high note. Swimsuits were highly encouraged but YHC didn’t give that disclaimer until 5:44 so only YHC was appropriately dressed. Nevertheless we prevailed and started off on our journey with a mosey to the rest area. At this point one of the kids naturally started yelling ‘Dad I gotta go!’ so we pulled in, did some warm-ups, stalled and discussed pigeons on the beach, and something about ground hogs….

Anyways, continue back on our trip to Ritter for….

The BEACHBALL

Grab a beachball from the Qs trunk and lets begin. Various exercises together followed by a pickle where the mode of transit was beachball thrusters (throw your beachball at the top of the thruster then go get it). Exercises were heavily skewed towards Mary (gotta get that six pack for the last beach trip):

B ox cutters
E lbow to knee crunches
A merican hammers
C ockroaches (that are dying)
H eels to heaven
B urpees
A l gores
L ow slow flutters
L unges

Then we closed out with 3 amazing rounds of F3 Beachball Dodgeball which was enjoyed immensely by all.

The post 202420 Q’d by OTW (On The Way) appeared first on F3 South Cary.

Today we had a discussion about the first of F3’s 4 Quadrants of Preparedness:

1.) Get Right
2.) Live Right
3.) Lead Right
4.) Leave Right

We opened with a saying well known in recovery circles that is, “you can’t give what you don’t got.”

Unfortunately/candidly, YHC has always leaned on the vast collective knowledge of F3 ENC. But now planting and rooting again in F3 SCary
it is painfully obvious (at least to YHC)
that it is now YHC’s turn to get right myself, as YHC may be the only copy of Q Source that some PAX will ever read.

Today, PAX I inspire to emulate shared experiences of being asked/tasked to give in areas where the preparedness was less the adequate, much less optimal.

It was agreed that life is about learning, growing, showing up, and acting “as if” (if you will)

I believe the essence of getting right is also one of my favorite definitions of humility…,

“accepting who we are and where we’re at, RIGHT NOW, followed by a sincere desire to become what we can become.”

Kudos to the men who were willing to delve in to these things, because it’s not a fun topic but rather a spiritual workout.

And this particular workout, is meant to go to “failure.” But true edification or”building up” often requires breaking down.

Thank you @astro for the opportunity to lead this morning and to do hard things.

Love you guys MIAGD
Sincerely ~ Punch Out

A robust group of 14 gathered to talk about parenting wins and losses. Some good sharing took place.

Be present with your kids. I challenge you all next week to put your phone in jail from 6-8p mon-thurs, as much as possible. The greatest ability for parenting is availability!

Do your best to not let work stress lead to a short fuse at home. Support your kids in whatever they’re in to, whether or not you know or care about it.

MIAGD, gents!

A call back to these!

Spookiness was the theme. Playlist in the thread.

Warmup by the greenway.
Running around to the secret deck, pearlzing squats on the way.
Spooky Jack Webbs up to 13 on the deck.
Webbicides featuring Spider Merkins under the deck up to 13. This is where the rain really picked up.
Pearled squats otw back, stopping for a half-hearted haunt of the Swwingers crew.
HG called Superman’s and LBCs at the flag.
Since Trickle was our only repeat PAX from last time, he got the last call honor and called Dying Cockroaches. So very spooky.

We accomplished more of my original goal from 2018 by pressing on with the merkins in the Webbicide. Rain and the lightning at the end were beautiful touches.

MAKE IT A SPOOKY DAY!!

Another AMBRR is in the books fellas. A huge shout out to the entire SAG Crew for all they did to make this a successful event. There is a lot that goes on behind the scene leading up to the event and during. I can’t thank them enough for their leadership.

Under the darkness of the early morning sky at 0600, 31 runners set out to achieve something. What that “something” was was different for each of us. Some ran for fun and fellowship, others ran to beat a previous time or distance and others ran to prove to themselves that they could run a 10K or a Half Marathon. Whatever that something was, I am hopeful we all achieved what we intended to.

I am grateful for F3 and how it has impacted my life and for the relationships formed over the past couple of years…

You all crushed it this morning! Do the same the rest of today as well. MIAGD!!!

Us non-BRR are holding the fort down and we all discussed where we might be falling short in faith and in actions from receiving salvation and identifying a “target” to aim for. This is in the attempt to shift ourselves from the wide path to the narrow path (Matthew 7:13-14).

Thanks for the fellowship this morning and looking forward to learning more from the F3 community and growing alongside you.

Yogi started with the mission, but then quickly assigned 10 penalty burpees when Biles arrived one minute late. Yogi explained to “piles” the importance of being on time. Off we went sans pledge and finished the mission and core principles on the mosey to the Lowe’s parking lot. From there we did 10 reps of different exercises at 5 different stations. Yogi pushed us all in both form and execution. 40% effort was promised but 100% effort was delivered. “Piles” was reintroduced to Yogi as Biles and we continued with more exercises including balls to the wall. Back to the flag we moseyed for a round of merry.

Announcements were announced. Praises for Yogi and his 8 year anniversary in F3. Praises for Biles and new addition on the way. Continued prayers for Deet and his family. MIAGD!
