boot camp, Perrysburg
Boot camp style workout. At Woodland Park. Two large Playgrounds, Frisbee Golf Course, 1 Mile Dirt Track, HUGE Field. Plenty of space here to craft a diabolical smokefest for even the strongest PAX.
Entrance is off East Boundary. Kip Boulis Drive.
SATURDAYS always followed up with 2nd F (fellowship) at Lamplight Cafe and Bakery located at 121 W. Indiana ave. Great opportunity to get to know members of F3Toledo and refuel from the workout.

Pre-Beatdown Run
PAX – Raven, Woodstock, Jennay, TuPac, Bourbon (Q)
Started with quick stretch and waiting for Woodstock to roll in after being caught by a train. YHC explained the simple out and back route. Ran from The Fortress (Woodland Park) down Indiana cut to Hood Park through downtown Perrysburg, then continued next to the Muddy Maumee to run over the Maumee/Perrysburg bridge and back the same way.
Total of about 5 miles with a few extra laps in the parking lot to get to 5.

You can read the details below, but I have to throw in a few words here before you read about the beatdown. This was a special beatdown for me to lead. This was a throwback to my VQ back in late September 2017. Little did YHC know how much F3 would change my life after that first month of exposure to these HIM. It is an honor to lead these HIM in the gloom each and every opportunity I get.
In comparison to that first VQ, our PAX got through almost twice as many cards in the deck. Two puked back in September; no PAX gave up or stopped today. As I reflect on this morning, it is obvious that we have grown so much stronger physically AND mentally. Not only have the PAX that have been involved with the Miracle for quite some time, but it even rubs off on those that are new or even FNGs during the beatdowns. Not one newer PAX or FNG gave up or surrendered to the pain in the gloom this morning. Again – always honored and humbled to lead the PAX of F3 Toledo.
