Workout: 251115 – Enough: A Leadership Ruck
FNG’s: N/A
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”:
Rucked West on 6th street before returning East on 7th. For 45 minutes, we discussed a number of prompts surrounding the topic of “enough”. Socket went on a solo run.
1. Define Enough.
a. Merriam-Webster defines enough as: occurring in such quantity, quality, or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations
b. Claire Berger defines enough as: not a number – it’s a feeling that arrives when comparison, fear, and noise are turned down.
2. Define YOUR enough. What does it look like to you.
a. Berger says until you name your enough, the world will.
3. Identify your loudest noise. What keeps telling you that your enough is not enough. Why does it have so much influence? Can you mute it? Turn it off?
a. Berger: Noise is the tax on contentment. Call it out, then imagine muting it for 7 days.
b. We chase “more” to quiet inner doubt, only to drown out the signal of fulfillment.
4. Who gets to tell you “your enough”? And how do you protect that voice from the crowd?
a. Berger: One true mirror > 1,000 distorted ones.
5. When is the last time you felt the click of fulfillment? What cut through the noise to let you feel it?

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: 53F and dry with 98% humidity. Good conversation about what “enough” means to us, and how to cut through the noise to achieve it. Appreciate the honest input from the other PAX.
