CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When I heard about F3, I heard about a cool workout group. A workout that’s cheaper than a gym that gets me outside. The more I posted, the more interested I became in F3 the Organization. Why isn’t F3 just called “Lakeshore Boot Camp Workout Club”? So, I Googled it. On their website, I found “Q Source: The F3 Manual of Virtuous Leadership”. Why does this workout group have a  “leadership mastery purpose”?. So, I read the book.

Chapter 1.2 hit home. “The King” is the discipline of daily training of the body. I’ve been on a weight loss journey for 7 years. I’m 5-8 and in 2014 I was pushing 250 pounds. I was at a park one day, my 2 year old took off for the road, and I couldn’t catch him. That scared me to death.

Since then I’ve yo-yo’d up and down the scale. Q Source talks about the POGO 40 – that 40 pounds you keep taking off and putting on. A huge part of my yo-yo’ing was lack of Accountability, but I’ve found that in F3. Now I have a group of guys who will txt, Slack message, etc. if I stopped Accelerating.

Except from the Q Source, 1.2:

“What is true for all men seeking to Accelerate is that it works better as a Group than as a Singleton. Together, we pool our collective knowledge for the benefit of each individual and spur one another on to places we would never reach alone. This is the power of the Shield Lock. Together, we sharpen each other – as iron sharpens iron. It’s simple really. If you want to learn to run faster, just find a faster man. And chase him until you catch him.”

With that, I want to say thanks to everyone in F3 who provides me Accountability. And, for being faster to give me someone to chase.

Small things = big loop

THE SCENE: A balmy 36.  Perfect weather for a little running
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Short and sweet:  SSH, IC (4ct) x 20; CP, IC (4 ct) x 5; Imperial Squat Walkers, IC (4 ct) x 10
THA-THANG:
Pretty basic for a last minute Q:

Run up Baby Everest and then get on the big loop.  Run the entire loop, finishing down the Dragon and back to the AO.  At various times, we’re executing an American Indian Run.  We did check out the mulch trail (name definitely needed!) over by the dock.  At a couple of junctures, we’re sprinting up hills.  At several points, the Q brings us to a stop and we have escalating exercises, adding reps and then dropping them:

  • 10 burpees
  • 20 merkins
  • 30 squats
  • 40 LBCs

Strava says 2.5 miles covered.
MARY:
