COT:
Reminder to all men to not get jaded and feel like we’ve seen it all and done it all. Encouraged to try to see wonder in everyday things and try something new. My Son convinced me to drive him to Peach Tree City, GA to see an airshow where the F-22 Raptor Demo Team was performing. I really did not want to go, but I wanted to give my Son the experience he wanted. It was an astounding demonstration of the capabilities of that aircraft. It reminded me of my love of aviation and planes fueled by adolescent memories of Top Gun, Iron Eagle, Firebirds, and other stupid movies that haven’t aged well. Be positive Guys and remember your Kids still have things to learn from you.

F3 Men’s retreat –
COT:
They say that the Good is the enemy of Great. Because if you’re content with being good, you’ll never push to be Great. However, Perfection is less than Good, because it can stop you from even getting started.
I am a recovering Perfectionist. Early in life when something wasn’t right, I would approach the problem with a hammer seeking swift correction. Instead of approaching it like a Scientist and inspecting it with a flashlight. It’s not wrong, it needs work. This has helped bring understanding as a Husband, parent and co-worker. We’re all going to have good days and bad days. Let’s be understanding when someone else isn’t at their best because we know what that’s like ourselves.

Go Forward today Men with Appreciation, Boldness, and Curiosity.

FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: SSHs, Rockettes, Little Baby Arm Circles, Tempo Squats

THE THANG:

Mosey to the big hill with all of the steps for some “Over the Hills.” Do 45 reps at the bottom of the hill, run up the hill, do 46 reps at the top of the hill, run back down the steps, and do 9 more reps to make it a round 100 reps. The exercises were calf raises, CDDs, squats, merkins, LBCs, and V-ups.

Mosey to the small picnic area by box jumping up the steps and lunging on the landings to the next set of stairs.  11s on the picnic tables – table pull-ups and box jumps.

Mosey around the loop back to the AO.

MARY: Some side crunches and a 1-minute plank.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 in the Nude this Saturday (probably should be renamed F3 Sand in Your Crack).

COT: Time flies, kids grow up, and you get older.  Father Time is undefeated but make sure he is out of breath when he catches up to you.  Cherish the time that you have because none of it is guaranteed.
