Do you know anyone who says something like, “watching a sunset is my church.” PUKE! Watching a sunset may be an awesome reminder of the beauty and power of God, but church requires membership, participation and a responsibility include time, talent and treasure. Same goes for F3. F3 is free, but we are called to be more than just observers or passive participants. We have a responsibility to work hard, lead and serve. This may seem like a lot for a workout club, but here’s the thing – because we all work at this shared purpose we all benefit. In fact, the benefits are far greater than we can achieve alone. There were only three people today, but I if was asked to do the above alone, I couldn’t do it. I would give up. In fact, I ran out of time and was 90 reps shy of finishing. Voodoo volunteered and Racheal stepped up and we finished my reps together. I know I really didn’t finish it on my own, but I left that workout knowing that our success was my success.
Thank you.

SOB, Stonehenge Co-Site Q
Thank you for leading, Wild Turkey. I appreciate you getting up early and taking the Q when you are on Spring Break. Strong words above about our shared responsibility to each other and to F3 to keep this thing rolling along and making it available to benefit others out there that need it, whether they know it or not. There are numerous examples of pax doing that every day.
When you read the workout above, you think “hey, that’s not so bad.” At least, that was my initial thought. Then I started doing it and realizing how brutal it was in the aggregate. 30 snatches per side, 30 presses per side, 60 squats, etc. That was tough. Rachael, as usual, tore through it and was on round 2 when time was called. I came in at the wire and was happy to take a few more snatches for you so that we could all complete the circuit. Every time I finish one of these workouts, I have the same thoughts you mention above: “there’s no way I would have done that without the pax around me pushing me to get it done.” Thanks again.
