COT:
I read the letter I wrote to Shamrock last year followed by the letter Mrs. Cardinal wrote to us this year.

When asked about why God chose the timing that he did, “She said, “It was because he hadn’t met F3 yet. God waited to take him until they were in your life to take care of you.” She was right. God waited…so that I would have you to walk with me through the darkest valley of my life.”

Do you believe that F3 can make a difference in the lives of men and their families? Who do you see around you that needs support? Who do you go to for support. While sad, Cardinal’s passing is a good story that all men of F3 are part of. The challenge is to make it count for yourself and others while you still can.

THE THANG:
Carry a block to the first speed bump. Do 5 exercises, rifle carry to the next speed bump, run to the end of the road and back, then do exercises again. Repeat until the end. First bump is 10 reps each. Each successive speed bump the rep count goes up by 10.

Form 2 teams. Shuttle run to steal a tennis ball from the other team’s box and drop it in your team’s box. Repeat until Snaggletooth had enough and just blew the whole thing up.

Return the blocks. RTF.

MARY:
Plank. Each man tries to guess if the next card in a deck will be red or black. If he is right, we stay in high plank. If he is wrong, we switch to low plank (or one arm up, etc.) until a man guesses correctly – then back to high plank.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional. Any growth that you want to experience this year – in your fitness, fellowship, faith, leadership, etc. – will NOT happen by accident. Let’s be intentional. The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan. James Clear says, goals don’t determine success. Systems determine success. Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.
Here’s a template for building a system.
1. Have a super clear description of what success will look like.
2. Develop your plan: What and when, and how. Pro tip: make changes small, obvious, and automatic.
3. Eliminate distractions (that includes good things that keep you from great things).
4. Obsess about the process, not about the results. Committing to the process is what makes the difference.

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5
