On the field, completed “11’s” of 8-Count Bodybuilders and Bobby Hurleys, traversing via Bear Crawls one way and returning via Broad Jumps

Q’s Word of the Day:
I offer two observations for life: When it comes to physical fitness, endurance, and performance, the second-most important thing is how you perform at your best. The most important thing is how you perform at your worst. It’s one thing to perform well for a fitness contest, it’s another thing to grind it out when you’re weaker, not feeling well, and not at your best.
Conversely, when it comes to character, the second-most important thing is how you are when the worst happens, when you lose everything. The most important thing is how you are when you get everything you ever wanted. How we use our power, prestige, and resources, how we treat those we don’t need… that’s the truest test of character.
Let’s live in such a way that we can perform well on a bad day, and be virtuous and humble when we are on top.
Prayers:
For HH Gregg’s family, following his father-in-law’s passing. For Crabgrass and his family, as they walk through their loss and grief. For Mr. Miyagi, as he fights through his health battles. For Toady as he and his family deals with COVID-19.
That the men of F3 would be blessed, and would be a blessing to others in a fallen world.

Appletini and Urkel were their usual loud selves, Onions made his usual snarky remarks, Elmer Fudd suffered in silence, Bozo smiled through the whole thing as usual, Twilight was pleasant as always, and ICBINB made a rare appearance.
