CoT
For the last few Q’s, I had just happened to have come across some sort of quote or motivational message that I ‘saved’ and discussed with the PAX during my CoT’s. This time though, I just spoke from the heart with something that has been weighing on my mind a lot lately. It went something like this:
Being a parent is hard. And I don’t mean hard because of the late nights or the changing of diapers or even feedings. I mean because we are responsible for shaping and molding these young humans into the people they will be for the rest of their lives. My wife and I are currently dealing with a phase that my 5 year old is going through that has really tested our limits. He is often disrespectful and acts out daily. While I can deal with this personally, my trigger point is when I see him acting out in this way towards my M. If I accomplish anything as a parent, it needs to be that I teach my boys how to treat other people. They need to demonstrate respect. They need to be honest. They need to be kind. In my humble opinion, they need to do all of this x 100 when it comes to the women in their lives.
I have had to learn a whole new level of patience, but my goal is to ultimately instill a lot of our F3 mentality into my boys. Work on your fellowship/friendships. Be active in your community and faith. Treat people how they deserve and wish to be treated. And maybe have a little fun with some fitness while you are at it.

My CoT was more of just me venting a bit and I appreciate the PAX being there to listen. Definitely a moment of vulnerability, but one that I am so blessed to be able to have with such a fine group of men.
I was surprised at how little ‘mileage’ we accrued according to my fitness tracker. It felt like a pretty solid burn tough, over 680 calories for me. I hope the rest of the PAX felt the same way. Great to see some new faces in the gloom. As always, great to have Bob Ross present at one of my Q’s!
We ran into the Black Diamond crew about halfway through the workout. Those guys are beasts! Kudos to Blues’ Clues for reaching out the night before to make sure we wouldn’t interfere with each other’s beatdowns. True HIM!
