- @F3_250. A reminder today to challenge the PAX (#YouAgainstYou) to make a personal commitment to working out 250 times in 2017. F3 workouts count, as well as any 30+ minutes exercise sessioin you complete (yes, even with your M if you can last that long!?!). Time for YOU to step up for your own @F3_250 #accountability
- Check the F3 Houston Google Sheet to track your progress.
- Tweet your weekly workout count to @F3_250 with the hashtag #F3TwoFiddy every Saturday to log on a national level.
- SCOPE 5K: Run for Colorectal Cancer.
- GrowRuck 03 – New Orleans June 9-11 combines F3 Grow School with a GoRuck Tough. Details to follow. Have no doubt, this will be a transformative event for the PAX that do it, as well as for F3 Houston and F3 Texas. Get excited!
- F3 COMZ. Because we are only working out together 3-4 hours a week, communication between the Pax is a key way to build our Fellowship as a group. #CommunicationIsKey There are multiple ways to stay in touch: Twitter, Facebook, F3Nation.com
- F3 Swag. T-shirt orders for The Hogg are closed, but place your orders on the Wait List to build us up for another order. Also, check out 2017’s limited time National Race Jersey at: https://f3.mudgear.com/collections/2017-official-f3-race-jersey-pre-order. Order by 21st March!
