COT:
Do Hard Things. Review of a book by Steve Magness on how to develop mental toughness and silence the noise in your brain telling you to stop when you are doing something that’s hard. Mental toughness is something that can be learned and a muscle that can be trained. That toughness is about acceptance that we are going to struggle, and often that we are going to fail, but that’s ok and we can keep going anyway. Three takeaways:
1. Take failure off the table. Accept that we might fail, and don’t let the prospect of failure stop us from showing up or from trying to push beyond where our brain tells us our limits are.
2. Talk to yourself outloud. Call yourself by name. This creates psychological distance and tricks our brains into thinking that we are receiving external inputs. In that way, you can break the negative thought cycle inside your brain and give yourself friend advice to keep going and keep pushing.
3. Create a nurturing environment. Don’t waste energy battling toxic people or toxic situations. Find environments like F3 that are supportive (mostly), so you have a platform to push past your limits and people behind you to catch you if you fall.

Thang 2: The Gladiator
Pax assembled with coupons around the mid field circle, with two 45-lb plates in the center. Each drew a ticket. This became the exercise for their ‘station.’ This was a series of timed movements with a counter clockwise rotation of one position, per completion of the timer. That timer was The Gladiator, the man in the middle: take a plate in each hand, run the circle, lead the PAX in 10 side straddle hops, rotate to the next person. We got in just north of one round with Bono, Patchouli, Big Short and YHC playing the Gladiator twice. MARY: LBC, Nolan Ryan, Toy Soldier
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 stair climb not far off.
COT: Today we did a mini-Q school covering the basics of counting and timing the workout. In COT we talked through the 3 F’s and the core principles of F3. Personally, I love it. Bone EH’d me before I finally bit and I was all in from day one. I love the accountability, the shared suffering and the form of leadership needed here that manifests in serving others. SYI many more G’s!
