COT: prayers for Polly’s brother in law in hospice & family. All of our 2.0s, Ms, families & ourselves
Great to meet Padre I just hope he doesn’t hate me for all the planking. Oh well, it’ll be a good healthy hate in a positive way you appreciate later (let’s hope). He didn’t seem to have a problem keeping up, especially for a guy approaching the end of his first week — off to a strong start.
Good to see wildturkey again too. He helped me remember all the names of all the exercises I brain farted on. He’s no turkey, but he is a wild posting animal.
Roulette eased through the workout and was clearly bored doing the lunge worms, so he did twice as many, twice as fast as the rest of us. He’s barely a year into F3 and is inspirational to a guy like me on year 5.
Speaking of inspirational, Hawkeye showing us we’ve all got a long time before we’ll be slowing down. Keeping up with him isn’t easy either. Double respect indeed.
Odd Job said he wasn’t posting much lately, but every time I show up he’s there too & in a lot more family photos than YHC. We shared some aches and pain’s from DaVinci (I blame Palmolive) but in a good way.
We missed Franky this AM as he predicted he’d be working past midnight. That’s been my main reason for not posting too (well that and too many, too cold mornings). Still, I should be able to post more now with most work crises behind me.
It was great to be out on a morning like this and was a reminder of how I much I missed it & how much we all get out it, not just the workout but the fellowship and friendship. I have so much appreciation for F3 and the PAX.
We are truly blessed to have this group and the burdens it places on us that we know we can and should carry. So when you’re talking to a neighbor or co-worker let them in on the secret of F3 and challenge them to step up and get out & join us. F3 needs FNGs, but not as bad as the FNGs need F3.
