ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ruck to Big Ball on Aug 26
COT: Show Up
There’s an old quote that I think has some truth, “80% of life is just showing up.” At F3 we talk about being high impact men. So we gotta show up to do that. I want to encourage you that you did show up today. I’ve heard it many times during a work out, “At least you got out of the bed and came out to the workout.” Its hard sometimes to show up and we have to balance the different spheres of our lives. We have jobs, families, church responsibilities, etc. Sometimes we spread ourselves too thin, bite off more than we can chew, and we have to step back and adjust our schedule. But, I think its better to bite off more than we can chew and fail at something rather than not show up to whatever in our lives. This is how we grow l. Like here and now each workout we show up for, if we are regular, then we grow. When we show up opportunities will present themselves. So, be intentional and show up and see what happens. This word is probably more for me than anyone else here.

THE THANG:
HIM’s set out on a ruck with normal packs but we also brought along 5 coupons (20,30,40,60,80 lbs). With 7 men we rotated coupons every 0.25 mile. 5 guys working with coupons and two guys with just their rucks. We covered 2.25 miles and there was sufficient grumbling by everyone that encountered the 80lber.
We then took a lap .44 without any coupons to speak of for recovery.

Fun was had by most, suck was embraced by all.

COT:
Don’t let anyone outwork or out-hustle you for your dreams. We drew a parallel of certain people who will do just about anything with an end use in mind. Don’t let them work harder on their goal than you are working on yours.

Love is patient and kind; lately I’ve been struggling with finding patience for my children. But if we look back at Jesus, his first reaction was always love. No matter what he may have been going through he was always patient and showed love before anything.
