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”:
With low numbers, “The Wait” needed to wait. So we did a Rabbit Run instead. Ran to Woodlands via 2nd street, around the large Woodlands loop, and back to The Pump Station via 6th street. Every time we saw a rabbit, we stopped and performed 5 burpees. We saw 14 rabbits total, providing us an opportunity for 70 burpees!
Ended with:
Count-O-Rama: 2
Name-O-Rama
The Six – Carmen Sandiego
LDP3
Ball of Man
Spreadsheets from the Gloom: While I’m bummed we weren’t able to actually run “The Wait”, I’ve been eyeing up a spring Rabbit Run for over a year and it did not disappoint. Initial thought was to perform 10 burpees per rabbit, but that would turn the run into more of a beatdown proper. 5 burpees seemed like a good number. That said…2nd street and 6th street provided the most rabbits. I’m not sure we encountered any while traveling North/South. Overall this is a nice format for a spring run or ruck, but I do think that an hour of time would be preferrable.
Look out for a potential co-Q from Carmen and YHC in the future to expand on this idea. Anyone ready for a Nature Walk?
