Without Fail (Leadership Ruck)

1) We start with a question:
What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?

2)Consider this thing that you have identified.
Does being able to do this satisfy a need in your life?

3) Now that you have identified it,
Is there another way to meet that need in your life?

4) Back to that first question.
That thing you would do if you could not fail…Is there a reason not to try?

5) Just in case your chosen activity hasn’t been very inciteful, let’s try this…
What energizes you? What sort of things do you get excited or motivated about?

6) Let’s see if we end up in the same place.
After considering what energizes you…What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?

(Nitrous handled opening)
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 (except when the governor says we have to stay home)
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

The “Thang”:
Rucked across MAU/PBG Bridge into Sidecut and looped back. Stopped for a little 1955 trivia and a few squats to honor Nitrous’s 70th birthday.

We ended in a Circle of Trust with Count-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, The Six, Announcements and a prayer. And a 70-second plank for Nitrous

Moleskin/Spreadsheet from the Gloom:
Happy birthday Nitrous! Triple Respect!
