Mediocracy’s Soul
I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions. No one keeps them. They typically last 2-6 weeks. I stated that at F3 we don’t really need NY resolutions, as we set goals for ourselves ever single day.
I stated that in the pre-blast that I was going to be taking souls this morning. That in F3 we subscribe to the motivations of Goggins, Jacko, and Eric Thomas; to name a few.
We are always talking about taking souls.
In a previous Q I hosted, I discussed Mediocracy and how we battle with it. How we show up in the mornings and fight off Mediocracy.
I suggested this to the Pax of OP7. This year. 2022. I say we do take a soul. We take the soul of Mediocracy!
Whatever Mediocracy is to you. You take that soul. Whether your mediocracy is something at work, something in your homelife, or a body issue or athletic accomplishment. Move forward and snatch Mediocracy’s soul in 2022!
Aye!
I discussed with the Pax that my sister, Barb, was estranged from her son, Bradley. He passed away from Covid on 12/26/21. She was told the next day via text. She had no idea. He didn’t want her to know. She is beside herself. She wanted so badly to make amends with him and now she never will. She is absolutely grief stricken.
I suggested to the Pax to please take a moment to reach out to family if there is conflict, even if it’s just a text to say hello, and try to make peace. You will never know when it is all over.
We took a moment for a silent prayer for Barb, Bradley, and our own family needs.
Amen
Naked Man Moleskin
There had been some talk of whether or not the OP7 was going to happen on 01/01/22. At 11am, in a group thread with HH Gregg, I decided to take the Q.
I already knew what I was going to do. I was going to re-run the Q that I did for my BDVQ and burn the fellas down; hung over or not. I wanted to show them that any single one of them was capable of getting through a Black Diamond workout, small guy or big guy.
None of the Pax knew it until I told them at Coffeeteria. Some seemed surprised that they had just accomplished such a feet. A title can sometimes scare you off. I wanted them to realize their potential. They all realized they could do it today…as I made the workout a few notches harder then the workout I ran at my BDVQ. I told them this fact, too. I told them they had just knocked a BD out of the park!
Start Up blew chunks and kept going…nice work. Aladdin almost ralphed in the bushes…but soldiered on. Once again, YHC almost burp/barfed during 100 yards and crawlin’ (that drill is no joke to run/Q count).
But damn, that workout was fun.
I loved that when I paid the burpee bet at the end almost everyone jumped in and did the burpees with me, then it spontaneously turned into everyone dancing, half hung over, sore, tired, out of breath, exhausted. But laughing, cracking jokes, and dancing like shit.
Then Chihuahua broke out a bottle of Champagne to ring in the New Year and we all toasted as brothers.
Damn, I love F3!
