Moleskin:
From Doc:
– Most frightening moment of day, Scrunchie threatening to undo his hair tie
– The first workout I have ever attended where we named pax based on real time events (Drone, Freight Train)
– After Double Shot’s second Merlot spill (thus the name), YHC had the bright idea to introduce the 10 count to the pax. Earlier next time for sure.
– Arc was smoking the field work, and the suicides seemed like quite the wheelhouse.
– I love that every single pax hung in thru the entire workout #strong
From Chaser:
– Great group of men with alot of wide eyes as they took in the sights and sounds of their first F3 workout.
– Some leaders have already begun to emerge. BigBird took the shovel flag home with him with a promise to bring it back next week. Several have created twitter accounts and followed the @F3Jacksonville account. Several with existing twitter accounts have already added their F3 nicknames to their account. GREAT to see. Own your nickname…make it yours. Earned.
– This group is yours. I think you’re starting to see what F3 can do for a man. The fitness and fellowship will change a #sadlcown. The group will be what you make it and will live or die with you. Bring new men in a fast as possible. Step up and lead early on. Learn to lead workouts and bring the energy every time. Energy is contagious and attractive and apathy, a poison. Give F3 away to every man you know. They ALL need it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– SAME TIME (7AM), SAME PLACE (ALEXANDRIA OAKS PARK) EVERY week going forward unless you hear otherwise through email from f3jacksonville@f3nation.com or on the @f3jacksonville twitter account. WE GO RAIN OR SHINE.
– 15 attended coffeeteria at Maple Street Biscuit right down the street and it was AWESOME. Great food but even better fellowship. If you didn’t attend coffeeteria this week YHC encourages you to make time next week. It strengthens bonds and we were done by 9:15ish so it’s not that late.
