Each exercise is done to each line and back.  In order to move on to the next line there were a list of exercises that needed to be completed while at the baseline.  All PAX stayed together and there was plenty of mumblechatter with PAX getting to know one another.

Circle of Trust

Today’s Q was intended to be about getting to know each other.  It’s very easy to stay on “surface” while at these workouts.  We fall to easy subjects like work or the workout itself.  The question I had was how well do I know some of these men?  So I decided that we would work out at a pace that we could actually talk to each other.  Each PAX gave short bios of who they are, where they came from, what they’re into, etc.  And you know what!?  Turns out we learned a LOT about each other and at least 3 of us are from the South suburbs and may even know people in common.

This is the smallest workout I’ve been to and one of my favorites.  It was good to get to know these guys just a little bit better.

One of the most attractive qualities of F3 is the fellowship.  And I think it’s important that we try to go more than just surface deep with our conversations.  I’m confident that what keeps guys coming back out to the gloom is the camaraderie… the workouts and getting in shape are just good side effects!

 

Prayers were had.

 

HB out.
