ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: “Recover, not Rest.” In the military, when the enemy breaks contact, the proper procedure is not to sit and catch your breath, but to reposition and out-maneuver the enemy, setting yourself up for success next time. It’s the same in life. After a week’s work, don’t just use the weekend to sit and do nothing. Three of the most dangerous words in the English language are “I deserve it.” Take advantage of the break to set yourself up for success in the next step of Accelerating to Advantage.

It’s Not About You

Why do we post Back Blasts?
As my dad would have said to me when I was a kid, “Because I told you to!” Obviously, that didn’t work for me then and it doesn’t work for us now as GAM, grown ass men.
I have been thinking a lot lately about the importance of the Back Blast coming off the Memphis launch, a host of new and reworked AOs and a great Nantaan call recently.
As I understand them, the Back Blast is the following:
  • A recap of the workout
  • A place to recognize those who posted
  • A way to track numbers and growth
  • A way to commemorate a break through
  • A way to commemorate someone splashing merlot for posterity
  • A way to make announcements
  • A way to document new and different exicon from the PAX
  • You’re a leader and part of Qing a workout is writing the BB
I’m sure there’s more on that from DREDD & OBT in Freed to Lead but I can’t get my hands on it right now.
All the above is great and I wholeheartedly agree with #1-8 and with the Nantaan of the Nation and the Great Weasel Shaker at WWHQ in their excellently penned Freed to Lead (which I still can’t find). But to me, the real reason we post the BB I realized today when I got a text from country code +44. At first glance I thought it was spam. Upon further inspection, it was from the one and only Scribe of F3Nashville Faulkner. So, without blabbing on, here’s what he wrote (I edited the very end)
“Been doing three F3 workouts a week by following the backblasts. Off days I run 4 miles. Miss the camaraderie and spiritual support. Tell everyone I said hey. Praying for those mentioned in backblasts, particularly the Kemps. Glad to see how F3 is growing … In this pic, I just finished Edible Arrangement’s latest Qed workout. The park I work out in mainly behind me. Hope you’re well.”


The title of this post is from the people at GoRuck.  I was constantly reminded of this over the past weekend in the 9-11 Memorial Ruck.  Ultimately, the BB isn’t about us being too busy, too lazy or too indifferent because it’s not about us and how we feel about posting the BB…it’s what someone else gets out of it.
So if not for #1-8 and for F2L, do it for the Faulkner’s, the Rooms2Go and others that find themselves DR for an extended period of time and that miss y’all, that miss F3Nashville and miss the 15 Burpess every minute for 10 minutes from that jerk Funyuns!

Numbers are steady w Annex.  Need to start more EH’ing up that way…lots of rooftops and lots of potential PAX to share the love with.

Welcome to FNG Boss Baby, coach at HHS and he seemed to secretly loathe our AO!

Keep up the good work out that way PAX!

Please keep the Wallaces in your prayers.  John is having the second of the two part amputation surgery tomorrow.  I didn’t make it by there this weekend but we did take his kids to church today; Anne Lacey seemed to be in good spirits and JW has been very responsive w me via text this weekend.

Continued prayers for the Kemps and sweet Job.  Please continue to lift them up in prayer for this tough, tough season.

Men, i urge you to fight for your wive’s hearts and desires.  Seek to die to yourself to live for her and your family.

Memphis launches on 19 August.  I will be traveling down that way to launch.  Please let me know if you have EHs in that area.  We will start at 0700 at Shelby Farms Park.
