Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! 14 pax entered the foggy gloom to an anticipation of work to be done. YHC had provided a few details prior to raise the anticipation. We would be working through a power half hour of sorts, using Blarney Stones, in search of as many S.H.A.M.R.O.C.K. (s) as we could find. Here’s what happened…

Moleskin: Today’s workout was Ironpax inspired and on the lite side. A reminder to the group that we can do hard things, and to prepare ourselves for the challenges in front of us. Additionally, inspired by St. Patrick’s Day, an outsider may observe this day set aside to celebrate the traditions and heritage of Irish American culture as just an American Drinking day, but YHC encouraged the pax to do a little more reading, a little more research to seek understanding of the history and purpose. This translates well into our daily lives, and to the mission and purpose of F3. We all need to take the time to seek understanding of different cultures and groups before making assumptions about what is right in front of us.
On the surface, F3 appears to be just a workout group, but those inside know that so much more exists for the man who seeks to know and understand. Another world of possibility is hidden under the surface, a world of service, friendship, faith, and real true connection with others awaits those who are willing to dive in a little bit more.
