OUR FOUNDATION

THE THREE Fs OF F3

Fitness is the magnet, Fellowship is the glue, and Faith is the purpose.

1. Fitness

Workouts take place outdoors in all weather conditions—rain, shine, heat, or snow. Led in rotation by participants, workouts adapt to all fitness levels.

2. Fellowship

Strong bonds formed in the Gloom bleed over into 2nd F lunches, coffee socials, and genuine male friendship that combats isolation.

3. Faith

Defined simply as belief in something bigger than yourself. We empower men to give back and lead in their families, workplaces, and local communities.

PAX Present:
Blanks (Q)Header Pepsi Broken Arrow

Nine PAX hit the field this morning for what turned out to be one of the more evenly matched WOMUs we’ve had in a while. 🟡 Yellow: Blanks, Mule, Peaches, Pepsi, Shirley 🟠 Orange: Cool Runnings, Wonder, Header, Broken Arrow With Yellow carrying five, the constant subbing definitely helped keep some fresh legs on the field — and we needed them. This one stayed neck-and-neck pretty much the entire morning. Nobody pulled away, nobody opened up a can of whoop-ass, and when time was called we were dead even. The cooler air has officially arrived, which felt fantastic for about 30 seconds before everyone remembered that running around a field chasing a frisbee still makes you sweat. Play of the day belonged to Wonder, who somehow turned a bobbled/juggled catch in the end zone into a score. Not sure it was drawn up that way, but the result was pure ESPN Top 10 material. Great game. Great weather. Great crew. And perhaps the rarest WOMU outcome of all: Nobody gets to talk shit about winning this week. SYITG! 🥏 ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lors of stuff coming up, check the calendar: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bSr64ar_zIEsBfyjBoZFynLx663Zr9h0ODqs1mbuKyw/edit?usp=drivesdk COT: YHC took us out.
