Rucked out to Sully Historic Farm, played around out there with various exercises involving rucksacks, completed 11’s workout of squats and shoulder presses, then rucked back to start.

CoT: During the ruck, each PAX shared his reason for joining F3. What’s yours?

F3 stands for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. Find your reason to continue posting in those Fs.

Ended with the Gonzaga Prayer:
It’s the beginning of a new day
God’s given us the day to do his will
We can waste it
Or use it for good
For what we do today
May change the course of our lives forever
We want to be good
Not evil
Success
Success
Success
Not failure
Knowing this
May we never forget the price we pay
Amen

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Boneathon is Memorial Day Saturday, sign up please; Convergence at Roosevelt Island June 8, get involved and help Spokes
COT: Think before you speak and try to calculate your reaction/how you handle a situation. Just a quick five second count between situation, or action, and your reaction. That little instance of pumping the brakes helps you not respond in anger but productively and from a place of empathy – creating an opportunity to make outcomes better for all, which is what leaders do. De-escalation and positive outcomes and kindness should be the goal. Basically: be rational, be measured, be in control of your emotions.
