Devo: Chase the right carrot: We train for 50Ks or GORUCKs or our 1st 10K but these aren’t the right carrots. Sometimes we hide behind these goals or perhaps these carrots distract us from the what is the real carrot. The real carrot is at home or at church or in our community. YHC urges you to always chase the right carrot.

Moleskin:
-Thanks to all the men of F3 Lexington, F3 Columbia, F3 Lake Murray, and all of F3 Nation. The shield lock and iron sharpening is what truly gets me out of bed each morning to workout but, more importantly, it’s what keeps me in a better mental space. My family and my faith are by far the most important thing in my life but I need F3 in my life. And, just so we don’t misconstrue this is an addiction, I want F3 in my life.
Special thanks to R2D2 for kicking my tail 4 years ago. Thank you to Uno for introducing coffeteria and 2ndF to me 4 years ago. Thanks to Stagecoach and Good Hands for the shield lock 4 years ago as FNGs. And, thanks to Sway and Napalm for their mentorship.
I’m also fortunate to have an understanding and supportive M that gets how important F3 is to me and any man fortunate enough to have found it. Thank you, Tina (FiA’s Surf)
