    Murph, with the annual "murph before christmas" poem

    2025 edition:

    Twas the Murph before Christmas and all through the park,

    The coyotes were stirring, waiting for Huckleberry to park.

    Mercy’s shorts were hiked up way past his thighs,

    reminding all of the bright moon and the stars in the sky

    Some PAX were a nestled all snug in their fart sacks

    While the rest of us were here, getting all jacked.

    When out in the field there arose such a clatter,

    Only to find Club Murph, and all their mumblechatter.

    More rapid than eagles, the PAX how they run.

    5, 10 ,then 15 until they’re all done.

    Go Footloose, Go Lonzo. Push! Fat Amy and Shepherd.

    Move it! Waldo, Viper, Doogie, Rudy, and Doubtfire.

    At the end of the Murph, at the end of the run.

    The Q exclaimed Iron sharpens Iron, now get hard things done!

    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
    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”:
    PAX lined up in pairs of 2 and/or 3 moving about as they wishes or where mumble chatter pulled them. Rucked to Pump Station and back. Circled the parking lot a few times until runners came back to circle up.
