Workout: Swift Ruck

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

Ball of Man

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: It was about zero, but a lack of wind made it feel pretty dreamy. Nothing quite like the quiet, snowy, stillness in the morning gloom. A good warmup for the beatdown that followed.
