Always good to step away from the familiar to spend some time with men you don’t see very often.  Don’t get out of Belmont as often as I should so when Wirenut posted some open Q dates, seemed like a good opportunity.  Old School always has the best of the best, good to be there.

Started with mission of F3, to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration of male leadership.  Warmup of side stradle hops, imperial walkers, gravel pickers, and some stretching.  Q had posted ahead of time to bring ruck if you have one, most did. Wirenut supplemented with a sand bag.

Grab the weight and go to the pavilion. Workout was simple, but not easy.  50 merkins, 50 lbc, 50 step ups each leg, grab your ruck and take two laps at double time.  Rinse and repeat until time.  Most got 4 rounds and into the fifth when time called.  Broke completed five.

Pledge. If you have a ruck, but have never stepped up the pace,  give it a try.  Completely different workout.

YHC said a few words on the importance of getting out and doing hard things.  Truly does help prepare for the hard times that life can present.  I personally had a tough 2022, F3 brothers were always there to lean on.  There will things that will happen in 2023, so important to be present and available.

Announcements: 50 miler at Old School site weeknd of Jan 14.  Start time 0530, two mile every hour.  Don’t get too comfortable.

Prayer requests: Wirenut family, Tooth Fairy dad, Slim Shady dad, Gumby family, Tiger and family

Always an honor
