3 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. This morning was different than many others. There was no clear sky or dry ground to be found in the #Gloom. In its place, was rain and a call to be challenged in less than ideal conditions. Those PAX who joined YHC this morning conquered the #Fartsack, defied #Cantore, and did, for better or worse, something many of their fellow PAX chose not to do: They decided to #PushTheRock.
Conditions – 60 and raining (Perfect Burpee Weather)

Moleskin:
• Ecclesiastes 4:12 – “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Never more true than this morning.
• Honored to post alongside Dusty and Moon River at the #Brickpile this AM. The commitment of those who posted this AM makes F3 Nation and F3 Columbia different. Posting when it’s raining or when you’re tired makes F3 not merely a commitment to yourself, but a vow to not leave your fellow PAX alone in the #Gloom to fight whatever #Jester is tugging at their effort to be a better man. Post when you don’t want to because it is not about you.
• YHC had a trip planned to Piggly Wiggly for what was to be known as the “Big on The Pig” Circuit, which included several rounds of Merkins variations, but, considering the conditions, the PAX will have to wait until YHC’s return to the #Brickpile for that version of the #DRP.
• Nice to see Termite as he was out for a #SadClown run along Devine Street this morning.
