Introduction
OPENING FRIDAY at THE GROVE
PreBlast for The Grove on 3/7/25 at 0515-0600am
F3P is a region known for structure, standards and commitment. If you have ever traveled around the country to other regions and AOs you know why this is so important.
The expectation is that here on Fridays you EC at The Grove. EC means warm up. This can be accomplished by running, rucking, stretching, meditation but overall being ready to go at 0515. We will be on time to start and end. We will communicate with each other if life happens and we cannot honor our HC’s. Fartsacking isn’t going to be a thing here.
Our mission is to Plant, Grow and Serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. We are living out tomorrow by opening a new opportunity in our community.
No Coupons needed
Shoes for pavement Headlamps and Gloves recommended
Drop that HC + EC as we will have onsite Coffeeteria and Donuts and need a head count for that. Thank you @Depends for covering :coffee: and @Dear Abby for covering SQ+6!

No one is going to care about your own stuff more than you. And no one is going to solve your problems or challenges for you.
If you are overweight then you have neglected your fitness. Make the decision to fix it or don’t. Nobody else is going to fix it.
If you are a bad husband, father, son then you have neglected your core responsibilities. Make the decision to fix it or don’t. Nobody else is going to fix it for you.
You suck at your job and bring problems without solutions and complain about everything and fall into the drama. You did this. Make the decision to fix it or don’t. Nobody is going to fix it for you.
If you want to build something, create a legacy, be remembered and be loved then do it. No one is going to build it for you. So stop waiting for someone to step up to do the things you know you need to do.
The Grove has an opportunity, a new day on Friday. You are here because you want to build it ane change the lives of other men. Nobody else is going to do it for us or care more about F3 in Liberty Grove than us. Step up and make the community a better place for your family, friends and those around us. Let’s go! Aye!

Thank you to Depends for Coffeeteria onsite and Dear Abby for SQ and providing donuts.
EC isn’t about running or rucking or lifting or burpees. The EC standard is about being prepared and ready to go for others. You can’t convince me that you get warm by doing 5 minutes of stretching. It’s on you to be ready to go at 0515, be on time (early) and show out for your PAX.
Chum Bucket gave me AAR where I missed a count and I really appreciated that. My focus is on perfection even though it’s not possible but I love learning from my mistakes.
Great Clips and Derailed were there! Welcome back!
