Mission and Principles:
F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it is always:
1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. 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.
5. Ends with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him
Warm-up: N/A
The “Thang”:
This route will further be known as “The Horseshoe”. Starting at the end of the sidewalk that leads to The Pump Station stairs, run down the stairs, across to the hill, up the hill, around the circle, and repeat until time. The route makes a giant “U” or horseshoe shape.

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: This should have been titled “You vs U”, “You vs The U” or “You vs The ‘Shoe”. I’ll make sure to mend this error on future runs of this, which there will surely be. This one is SBD, simple, but deadly. A brutal combination of hills and stairs with just enough middle ground to maintain a steady push throughout the duration. It may become a mainstay in my Sunday run rotation, possibly adding a ruck/vest in for even more fun.
