YHC celebrated (one week early) his 1 year anniversary with F3. It has been an awesome year getting better physically, spiritually, and as a man in general. I am amazed at the quality of men throughout F3 Lexington but the guys at Shawshank really stand out. My intro to this group consisted of being EH’d for 24 hours by Doc Lovin’, showing up the next day and never looking back. 1 year of straining to keep up with these men, multiple cramps, bruises, and an internal time change for my daily routine for bowel movements, has made me committed to keep pushing, doing the harder thing, and seeing what is in store for 2020.
Conditions: 31 degrees with a nice layer frost on the ground

This is what F3 means to me. Guys willing to invest time in my life and hold me accountable on a daily basis. Each person is disciplined to do the harder thing, willing to invest in others, and prepared to lead whenever called upon. Thanks for a great year 1.
