60 degrees and clear skies

60 degrees and clear skies

There are lots of things PAX think about when deciding to post:

• Great weather > Cold and rainy
• Late start time > No sleep
• Solid Q > Hard/Weak Q
• FNG coming > Nobody will be looking for me
• Short drive > Inconvenient location
• Big crowd > Boring small group
• Feeling good > Bowel issues

There is no doubt that there are some legitimate reasons not to post.  This soap box backblast is not a guilt trip but rather a challenge:  PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, BE UNCOMFORTABLE, AND COMMIT THE NIGHT BEFORE

A couple questions to ponder:

• Have you ever reminisced with another F3 brother and said, “Do you remember that time when I fartsacked?  I had the greatest time.”?!?!?
  • ANSWER:  Never happened
• When is the last time that you truly regretted attending an F3 workout?
  • ANSWER:  Likely Never happened
• Have you ever been on Q and nobody showed up?
  • ANSWER:  Hopefully Never happened
• Has another F3 brother told you that he was going through a difficult time and your presence or an encouraging word to him at a workout caused his day/attitude to change?
  • ANSWER:  Probably Never happened BUT it is likely true and he is just not comfortable sharing that nugget just yet

Again, this is not a guilt trip but hopefully a reminder of what we have the opportunity to do every morning.  We have the opportunity to:

• Get a free workout
• Improve our physical health
• Improve our mental state
• Laugh out loud before most people are awake
• Encourage a fellow brother
• Be encouraged by a fellow brother
• Bring a smile to somebody’s face/soul

DO NOT TAKE THESE THINGS FOR GRANTED!  THESE ARE GIFTS GIVEN TO EACH OF US . . . ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF OR START GIVING THEM AWAY TO OTHERS?!?!?  You know the answer.  Now let’s go do it!  #COMMIT

Soap Box finished . . . Now onto the workout:
