Workout: Murph

No FNG’s so right into Mission and Principles:
F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission – Plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it must:
Be free of charge
Be open to all men
Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
End with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him

The Thang:

One mile run
100 Pull-Ups
200 Merkins
300 Squats
One mile run

The Six: Rudy – EH’d by Footloose and Cinammons. Suffered a stroke a few years ago and F3 helps keep him in shape and connected to other men.

LDP3 (Mercy) – “The Six”. Roots in the military. Always know where the last man in line is and do not leave him by himself. During Count O Rama we have the sixth PAX come into the circle and tell a little about themselves. F3Toledo stole it from F3 Louisville and we’ve continued the tradition in the The Swamp

COT-Announcements and Prayers. Cut short due to time. Prayed for Stark’s fathers hip surgery and for God to exhort us to be the men He created us to be.

It was an honor to lead.

Spreadsheets from the Gloom:
YHC asked the PAX to take some time during the workout or during their day to remember WHY we do the Murph and to not take our physical abilities for granted.

Playlist based off the following text from Mercy when I asked if there are any genres or songs I should avoid: “Be confident in your potentially “bad” choices”. And a playlist was born!

Bad Decisions – The Strokes
Bad Day – Fuel
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown – Jim Croce
Bad Moon Rising – CCR
Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version) – T Swizzle
Bad – Michael Jackson
Bad Company – Bad Company
You Give Love a Bad Name – Bon Jovi
Bar Liar – Imagine Dragons
Bad Boys (Theme from Cops) – Inner Circle
