Southwood Backblast – 50 of anything is Tough

September 18, 2020

QIC: AOL

The PAX: Little Debbie, Manguy, Sleepy, Mr. Kotter, Mr. Emcee, Geronimo, Oklahoma, Mickey Mouse, Wallflower, Peter Pan, Rev

12 men met up in the slightly cooler, but still humid gloom for some moving and reps. Even though QIC was still 49 for two more days, 50 reps were a theme. We covered just under 2 miles. It was great to have Rev back after a 3 month sabbatical.

COT

QIC was late getting back and owes Pax 3 minutes. It always looks easier and shorter on paper, and 50 of any exercise is tough.

QIC is excited about the super powers that he’ll get from turning 50.

He thanked Little Debbie for staring Southwood F3 in January 2017 and Mickey Mouse and Rocks for conning him into coming in February 2017.

He also appreciates Sleepy and other consistent F3 brothers for always pushing him by simply saying “I’m in.”

Only regret is not staring earlier.

QIC shared what has been reinforced by F3: Humility, Perspective, and Gratitude.

Kotter shared that every day is a new day and opportunity.

Emcee shared thank you to the teachers.

Rev talked about with violent crime spiking, the need for positive men leading others. He asked do you have time to mentor a young man?

AOL has the Q Tuesday for Iron Pax Week 4.
