EC Ruck
At 440 Bono, Ma Bell, Patch, Vanilla, Pied Piper, Psycho, Lynard Skynyrd, Duff (Who finally got all that running out of his system), and YHC embarked on a quick ruck around the perimeter trying to get away from the sight of Bono in ranger panties. After two laps around the outside, we made our way back to the flag where more PAX were waiting, not knowing what was in store.

Moleskin
There’s an African proverb that says: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Today was about supporting your fellow brother. Pushing him to go faster and work harder. We attempted to start and finish all exercises with no six. Because, Lone rangers are dead rangers.

Although my time in F3 has been brief, the growth I’ve experienced far outweighs the time I’ve put in. The opportunities I’ve been given to lead and the constant force to push myself have taken me out of my comfort zone and provided me with emotional support I didn’t know I was lacking.
I’m thankful. For the push from PAX members to post at an AO outside my skill set.
I’m thankful. For the opportunities to Q a workout that I have no business Q’ing.
I’m thankful. For Ma Bell running with me to the finish of the Sasquatch.
I’m thankful. For Pied Piper who always comes back to help me finish when I’m the six.
I’m thankful. For Bench, who gave me the opportunity to site Q Clydesdales.
I’m thankful. For all this and so much more.

F3 is more than just a workout. It’s a community of men who want to be better and help others better themselves. Thanks for pushing me. Together, we’ll go farther.
