First 5 are the M’s

March 24, 2024 / / 0 Comments

8 Ruckers and 7 runners took the DRP and braved the early spring wind with an 8° chill factor to improve their Fitness this morning.  COT ended with a passing of the flag for The GOAT to Ocho for site Q due to Bubba Sparxxx travel schedule. Coffeeteria followed with a discussion around the M.

**HIMs were challenged to take a step forward in accelerating this week by making their first 5 minutes at home exclusively dedicated to taking time to talk with the M. Doesn’t have to be just 5 minutes, but the priority is to immediately make a beeline to the M and focus on talking with her as soon as work is finished.**

BIG TAKEAWAY FROM QSOURCE DRP:

we all need to be active in reaching out to guys who have stopped posting. Not just once, but regularly. If they stopped posting, they may have something going on that they need friends for.

Keep up with the 2nd F

We rucked (some extra), others ran, and we all did COT.

Today’s Q source topic (Persuasion) was pushed my way by Bubba Sparx.  I gladly accepted today’s subject because it’s when we go from thoughts and talk to putting that into action. Any leader can tell others what to do but, great leaders use the art of persuasion to get others to see and understand the goal at hand. Persuasion is becoming a dying art and it’s a tool we should not only hone for ourselves but pass along to others.

Membership Renewal

April 3, 2023 / / 0 Comments

A solid 14 at Members Only Sunday morning. YHC decided to pick up the Q to go back for a visit after moving back to Dallas 7 months ago. While its nice to hit that closest AO it’s also nice to spend some time with others and get a change of scenery. It makes me very happy to see these guys and this AO is flourishing. Several people were out getting in extra miles. The 6:30 start group decided to do the Parkdale loop backwards. I thought this would be worse but the climb was not as bad as I thought. Turns out, when looking at the elevation map, we’ve been doing it the hard way all along. Most everyone stayed for Q source where we discussed shield lock.

January 1st New Years Day Q-Source Pre-Blast

December 19, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Okay F3 Gastonia,

This year New Years Day falls on a Sunday.  There was talk of a possible convergence but with church and Sunday obligations it may be difficult for some to travel too far from home.  Instead, we will be doing a personal development exercise.

The 1FQ’s (Flintstone for those that don’t know) “Push the Rock” challengei is a perfect way to start off the first day of the year with a Sunday post at Member’s Only, Crossroads, or the Coconut Horse and stay for Q-Source and start your year off on the right path with two points towards the challenge.

What is on tap for Q-Source you ask?  We will be doing the 8-Block.  Those that have followed CSPAN and the weekly roundtable call (the first F3 podcast), may be familiar with it.  The 8-block is a worthwhile personal exercise to set your goals and priorities for the year.  More information is linked to this podcast….

https://f3nation.com/stuff-worth-trying-podcast-episode-11-the-8-block/

You will also need your “one Word”.   What is a one word challenge? Essentially, a one word challenge involves choosing a specific word to guide you throughout the year as you make decisions, pursue goals, and try to become the human being you want to be. It’s part compass, part motivator, and part mirror.

That is it.  Show up on New Years Day at one of the three Sunday AO’s.  Get a run, ruck, or other exercises of your choice.  Bring a sheet of paper and a pen to Q Source in case the Q doesn’t have one.  We will all complete the exercise and then share with your peers and go over it again and again all year.

You will be amazed how some of your blind spots disappear and your priorities will be clearer.

Purple Haze is the Q-Source Q for 2022.  He will be leading the way at Crossroads.  YHC will have the Q at the Coconut Horse, and Tiger will be leading Member’s Only.

If you have questions feel free to contact me.

2 Pax posted at Members Only Sunday morning. Tesla showed up for Q Source. Been a little light the last 2 weeks. I hope its due to vacation. The Nantan ran with EC added in. I rucked down some streets I’ve never been on(title of the BB). It looks like I’ll be moving back to Dallas in about a month so I hope turn out will keep up so that this AO can remain open. Sunday mornings with Q source is my favorite day for a post. I hope others will see how special that can be. I will be looking for a site Q to take over for me.
