Cool temps greeted the PAX under the still starlit gloom at The Birdcage. 13 HIM took on a beatdown that someone referred to as “Old School”, and somebody else said was “Intense”. Interestingly I often find that Qing a beatdown actually adds some immunity to the difficulty. I don’t know if it’s the invigoration of leading, or the challenge of remembering the beatdown, or even just the F3 exercise naming conventions, etc. Whatever it is…I like it. Here’s what we were up to this morning…

Thank you to @Peaches for EHing me 2.5 years ago, thank you to @Sandbar for the naming, thanks to the Uptown PAX, thank you to F3NOLA, and thank you to F3 Nation. I enjoy the camaraderie, the variation everyday, both the mumblechatter and the quiet, and the daily reminders that we are not alone as men trying to do good in this world by bettering ourselves and those around us. Whenever you read this chances are an opportunity will be nearby…an opportunity to leave today better than you found it…seize it.
