Introduction

I’m not going to judge you based on your running, lifting or overall athletic ability tomorrow. Your reputation is based on your level of commitment, your attitude and your effort.
Respect is earned daily.
Bring your :athletic_shoe: and :headlamp: with the expectation of high energy, constant movement, form focus and push for half a step faster.
@channel When you :hardcommit: also head over to the #3rd-f-qsource channel and :hardcommit: for Southern Bells QSource with @Dilly Dilly.
ECR @0450 is a standard at TC :ec: so :lfg:

Circle of Trust
You don’t have the choice to create a new years resolution to show up to be a Dad, Husband, Brother, Son, Grandfather or Uncle. You just are. In the same way that in F3 if you are 50+ you are labeled with Respect.
You do have the choice on whether you earn those labels and it comes with a daily opt in. You are judged not by your ability but by your attitude and effort in everything you approach.
You can be successful 10000 times but the one time you completely mess up in a way that may be forgiven but not forgotten will be your reputation in the end.
Opt in daily to F3, your family, your job, your responsibilities and attack it with full effort and a positive attitude. Win the day every single day.
Aye!

Major thank you to Dear Abby for dealing with my unconventional A shenanigans. You are an excellent SQ brother.
Appreciate the feedback on cadence corrections so I can get better and also the call out runs simple being a number instead of a name.
The effort from the 10 PAX that was high and there was certainly no where to hide. All of you are seeking the hard path and the hope is I delivered for you all.
