The goal was to have 37 different blocks of exercises.  At the end of the workout each exercise, other than running, would be completed 37 times/reps.  Some exercises were complete all in one shot (example: flutter kicks) while others were broken up into smaller chunks (example: hand release merkins). All 37 reps were complete except for the following exercises: Through The Tunnel (18 reps short), Wall Jumps (9 reps short), Little Baby Crunches (18 reps short), and Hillbilly Walkers (37 reps short).
CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER
MOLESKIN
I’m grateful for each Pax in attendance and for those not present today.  Thanks for pushing me and making me better over the last year and half that I’ve been a part of F3NeTN.  The carrying of other Pax was not just metaphorical, but was meant to be a literal reminder that at times we will need to be carried by others and at times we will need to carry our brothers.  One of the greatest lies our culture tells us is that we are self-sufficient and able to make it through life on our own with hard work and determination.  The truth is that we are all broken and not strong enough to survive the rough patches of life, yet alone thrive.  I encourage each Pax to lean into the opportunity to rely on others in order to get better in all areas of your life.  Take advantage of the opportunity to show up for bootcamps, boilermakers, and/or run group.  This provides an opportunity to get pushed by other Pax to get stronger physically.  Show up for 3rd F events and listen to and learn from other Pax about their life experiences.  Allow this to shape you in becoming a better husband, father, family member, friend, employee, etc. Lean into opportunities to build friendships with other Pax outside of workouts and allow these relationships to help you be more connected and less isolated.
