F3 NorthWest Indiana
Pax: Blue
Nothing too exciting on this one. Just wanted to make sure I received attendance credit, so that I can still try to stay in front of Oilermaker for 2020. I have been resistant to purchasing any type of device, cause I’m kind of cheap. However, I did splurge on a Refurbished Apple Watch Series 3, so got to try that out on this run and logged 3.25 miles.

I like being uncomfortable as it makes me grow. For some, being comfortable is like fartsacking and staying put where there’s least disruption.
My given F3 name from my younger brother is Kato. The real name is Daniel Shih. I challenge you to reach out and meet a fellow Pax from around the globe.

PAX: Nabisco, HHH, Muck, Atticus, Mufasa, Preacher Pipes (FNG), Reck it Ralph, Chief, Fonzie, PacRat, Kato, Scarecrow, Krush Groove, Optimus, TaxMan, LaLoyd, Bob Villa, DrugDealer (FNG+RESPECT), BB (Q)
Being my first Q, of course I was nervous…and I set out my clothes, my camera and tripod, and whatever else the night before…and got up extra early…and still rolled up to Patmos with 5 minutes to spare (gotta get better about that!)
WOW! My 5th Decade of life has started better and relatively healthier than my 4th. I pray I am able to continue on this path. One thing I pointed out at Coffeeteria is that I am grateful for lineage. If it wasn’t for HHH headlocking Kato, and then Kato to me, I would suffer the life of a SadClown probably forever. I am also grateful for a convergence of all A.O.’s that brought a show of force to Patmos to come and be with me as I attempted my first Q, and too wish me a happy birthday.
Having 2 FNG’s come out was also a lovely thing to see. Welcome to DD & PP!! I am grateful to Preacher Pipes (Quincy) for keeping a promise to me that he would come and try F3. He saw me 4 days later and properly informed me that he was still cursing my name due to himself being still sore. I can only hope that my first Q brought enough of the SUCK for you all.
I chose to start including the #qsource #qsourcecounts at coffeeteria. We started with F.1 Disruption and I gave a quick talk on it. I think it is important for us F3 PAX to continually ground ourselves in the mindset/philosophy of Getting Right and Being Right. It is our formula for Living Right and Leaving Right…and we should strive to hold ourselves and each other accountable to doing so.
Thank you to you all, individually and collectively, for making my 40th Birthday “party” one to remember. A few days later and I was still quite sore and it was one hell of a reminder that I made a great, life-changing decision, to allow someone else to be a #disruptor. I promised myself that I will forever remain one too, and have chosen some specific things that I am starting on in my own life.
SYITG,

Moleskin: First off, welcome back Hitchcock! New job transition, and refreshed from his boat cruise with his sister. BTW, is your sister single?!?!? Just kidding, half kidding……….. I started out making sure Coors was ok with movements, and he told would be fine so I stuck with the original plan. I was a bit worried about the toughness of this workout as usual. Always looks great but its always up to the Pax. Thanks for letting me lead again. The Skull Crushers were at one point probably scary for a few of PAX. I often forgot that the grip and weight of these former Thai Restaurant blocks weigh. Probably 30 lbs potentially smashing someone’s face today. I adjust the number for the second set. Muck mentioned probably doing it standing up next time but I gently ignored him. With Bear Crawls downhill, I always like how each Pax makes an individual decision on this as we need to take care of our bodies and of course only “YOU” know your body. It’s no secret I hate Motivators but I thought, let’s make it fun and break it up. The only thing I hate is my calves being on the verge of exploding. With Merkins as a brief distraction and right back to it, we could have done 15:1 or 20:1 with this mixed in. Going up and down Muck gave me idea for next Tuesday’s Q. It’s called Burpees brothers so come prepared and pre-stretched!!!! I decided to do a ton of Merkins because I feel my chest is flabby. Pecs in particular so CPR 30:2 ratio exercises are coming back soon with some Scorpion Dry dock variations this spring. Prayers are always for family, friends, and fellow PAX in CO-Shih.

Death
-How do you react to death of those around you?
-How do you deal with your impending death?
-Are you afraid of dying? Embrace it? Think about it? Ignore it?
-Who do you “live to honor”?
Action:
Think about your funeral, who would come? What would they say? Who wouldn’t be there? Why? What can you do to start changing that?
Every Day
-In your goal setting, do you take the “Every day” approach?
-How do you handle getting knocked down?
-How do you get back up?
Action: Share with someone you you keep going.
