WARMUP: Mosey to the lower parking lot for some SSH, Arm Circles and stretches

THE THANG:

95% of Men over the age of 35 will never sprint again. So, if I Q we will not be in that 95%.

Ran some sprints and skips. Dilbert is faster than expected. Speed and Power.

Then moseyed around the park on the greenway.

Got back to the Startex for some ab work and then some broga to finish with other stretches.

MOLESKINE: Was an honor to lead at the discipline. So excited to see F3 North growing. Small PAX today, but that has become a trend with my Qs recently. LOL

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dilbert accepted a new job. Wow, he’s a man in demand. Congrats bro. Dizzy Doc has added a new addition to his PAX.

Ladder down as time allows
I think some PAX were motivated to surpass the bar set by Movin On Up when I led this first iteration on my 55th birthday on May 31st. I think he and a few others Works for a Guy Deep State EZ-Go and maybe more got through about 3 rungs back down the ladder before time was called. Strong work to all!

Store coupons (at least those that we didn’t crush to powder on our bare hands!

Mosey to wall for a short minute of Balls to the Wall

Final 2 minutes spent introducing folks at detention to the fun that is Guantanamo. Clearly a PAX favorite from all the mumblechatter as we made a full circuit.

MOLESKINE:
YHC would encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the cliff/spark note about last week’s State of the Nation broadcast, or watch the full recording (even on fast speed if you’d like!)

F3 is a leadership organization, and we need to keep that at the front of our minds as continue to encourage, support and push each other. It’s not just about sweating together on the gloom, but it is about striving to become better HIM for each other, our families and community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Free F3 Brentwood half marathon on 11/9. Hit up Ponzi for details

COT:
Thanks to Deep State for the kind invitation to join y’all, and thanks for welcoming me! I look forward to coming back again soon.

Stay strong and keep singing
