Pledge and COT

Announcements: Bedrock is hosting this Saturday’s rotating workout.

Devo: Rest if doctors tell you, or if you’re body can’t handle the work…but even if you can’t do the workouts that the Q is leading due to nagging injuries or whatever, you can always find some work to do.

Moleskin: I Q’d at the Jones a couple of times, and I enjoyed using the track there to come up with some unique ways to get a run-heavy workout in.  This was a modified version of one of those workouts I did, which does a good job of getting your heart rate up quickly.

Log, Log, its better than bad, its good!

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: replace with weather

FNGs:

Being authentic, and not just going through the motions and the need to have deep relationships with some brothers so so someone has always got your 6.  We need to have brothers in the foxhole with us.  All relationships are 2 way, though, and you need to have their 6 as well.

I know i need to be more intentional to find a brother or 2 that I can link up with a little closer, than just seeing at F3 and work.

Just like a woman needs a close girlfriend to confide in with only women things, we as guys still surprisingly need that too with other men.

You have to have a good relationship with yourself first.  GET alone, with God and allow Him to reveal to you who you are, who you are not, and who you were made to be.

The 5 C’s

consistency, commitment, candor, courage, and contentment.

Cold and like 32 degrees

6 pack of pax with 6 doughnuts and coffee

We discussed “what is your WHY in life”

I’m doing sheepdog, and goose said he’s going to periodically ask us what our why is, so I’ve been doing some soul searching

I’ve come up with a list of 5 in order and they all have to do with my relationships

1- relationship with god

2-relationship with my wife

3-relationship with my children

4-relationship with my friends(brothers)

5-relationship with myself

Keep in mind that my why is still a rough draft, but I also don’t think it will change too much, just the tieing it in part

What does that have to do with sheepdog or f3?

I have always maintained the belief that F3 makes me a better person.  If that is true, then that should trickle down into all aspects of my life.  But it has to go deeper, I have to go deeper, hence Q’ing the guild and sheepdog.

I think that about covers it.
