CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
While rucking at Concord Trails a week or so ago, I encountered a fox along the trail. The fox was off in the distance and I did what any badass F3 man would have done- I quickly turned around and thought the fox was going to eat me alive. As I reflected on this, a few thoughts came to mind. First, how many fox attacks do we hear about? Zero. Secondly, we fear many things that are truly not the big of a deal or we can easily overcome. Don’t be afraid of the fox.

MOLESKIN:
Doubtfire locked down two more hood recruits. It was great to have Fur Coat and Pirate out with us this morning. Pfeiffer and Mayberry set the pace on the 4-Corners this morning. The entire PAX pushed it too the limit and it was a fun morning. Now, we eagerly await the “devil’s dandruff” to blanket all of K-town!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I have been very focused on some goals. I have been doing a good job of not being distracted, but in the process I think I have lost the ability to catch myself from wandering. To be more clear, I do not catch myself thinking in certain ways. I went for a run recently, and I caught myself just thinking very negatively. I realized that I have not been aware of my thoughts to the point where I can catch myself wandering or thinking negatively. So, I regained control of my mind and thoughts while on the run and finished strong. This I think needs to be transformed to other aspects of my life. I need to catch myself when I am studying, and remind myself why I am doing certain things. I need to catch myself when I am distracted about studying when with my family. I need to try to be better about being present in the moment. I encourage you all to take 5 or 10 minutes during your day to pause and reflect on your thought patterns. If they are maladaptive, try to take control of them. Good work today Gents
MOLESKIN:
Its cold…. but afterwards it feels good, so keep showing up. Eventually, you will adapt, or spring will come.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups to invigorate male community leadership. We need to be constantly reminded of our mission so we know who we are and why we’re here. The same is true in your life. What is your mission? Can you articulate your mission clearly?  Probably worth spending some time to craft it, so it rolls off your tongue..
