Battle is a workout that pushes you to your physical limits (repeatedly), while the mission is one that reaches down into your sole. One makes you as miserable as possible, and by doing that makes the rest of life seem a little easier. The other makes you thankful for all the blessings you have in …

It’s hard to pinpoint the moment when a workout gets real. That moment when you do not want to finish. For the Bullseye half-marathon that moment came 9 miles into the event. This isn’t the point where YHC started to struggle nor is it the point where YHC started to rethink his support for this …

Daily Maxwell 07/13/17 VISION My observation over the last twenty years has been that all effective leaders have a vision of what they must accomplish.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It’s difficult to think of another statement that so concisely sums up the core principles of what we believe in …
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about the passing of Cheech on a daily/hourly basis. I didn’t know Cheech, but his life sounded very similar to many of ours and realizing it could all end any day has shaken me up. I know the thoughts and prayers of F3 nation go out …
