Group Therapy at Legacy Park

34 PAX (including 4 FNGs, all of which were 2.0s #Tclaps) got turnt up this AM at Legacy Park. YHC had been laid pretty low by various pieces of bad news this week. (Semper’s friend Jessica losing her 7 year battle with breast cancer, and Spicoli’s diagnosis). YHC has been heavily involved with various groups fighting cancer over the years, and this type of stuff never fails to hit home.

In YHC’s humble opinion, Dr. Melfi aside, there’s no better therapy that sweating all that negative energy out, especially in the company of a group of PAX like F3 Swamp Rabbit. In Men’s Roundtable this past Wednesday, one of the many things that stuck out was the following Scripture.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. (Proverbs 27:17 NLT)

Given how the week has gone, YHC thought it was appropriate to remind the PAX that we are in this thing together, and it is only together that we will grow and succeed.

BOM

Murdock led us in prayer to lift up Spicoli and all others who are suffering in any way. Finished off with the Lord’s Prayer to get everybody’s mind right before we got down to bidness.

• Superior effort today by the PAX. YHC needed some serious punishment therapy and all 34 men ate it up.
• We made a point to have some partner-centric circuits in light of the verse. The level of teamwork and fellowship, especially going up and down 1D’s Hill during Dora, was the highlight of the day. Tons of encouragement, high fives and fist bumps. That’s what F3 is all about, gentlemen.
• #Tclaps to T.B.C. for the idea of incorporating Proverbs 27:17 into the Q #creditwherecreditisdue
• You may have noticed we coined a new phrase: HOOTIE-ble. Named after the Man himself, who was on fire today, this is when a member of the PAX other than the Q calls an audible in between circuits to and raises the bar even higher. Wonderful addition to what was already a fairly thorough beatdown. #tclaps
• This one’s for Jessica, who went home finally this week after a 7 year battle. May she and her family find Peace.
• This one’s for Spicoli. I’ve never met you, brother, but I’m looking forward to the day when I do. You’re in my heart and my prayers.
