Moleskin:
I am grateful to have been introduced to F3 when I moved to Lexington 3 years ago.  I didn’t know anyone when I moved here, but my neighbor (Malfunction Junction) invited me to come work out with a group of guys way too early one morning.  It was a terrible physical experience that left me nearly vomiting in the middle of a soccer field, but it made me realize how much I needed to improve and how awesome it was to have a group of men willing to come together and help each other.  When I got discouraged and stopped posting, Field Goal reached out to me just to make sure I was ok and to let me know that I was missed.  That was when I realized that even though we get together for boot camps and run groups multiple times a week, the physical part of F3 isn’t why so many men wake up so early and get together so often.  It’s because they care about each other and want to see each other succeed and get better. I hope anyone who reads this will think about someone that you know who needs that encouragement and will reach out to them.  Let them know they’re missed.
