If you would have told YHC 3 years ago today “in 3 years you will run 6 miles AFTER you Q a one hour workout” he would have thought you believed you were speaking to an Ironman athlete. With a ton of encouragement, inspiration, and brotherhood, this was possible today. YHC had never even ran a 5k before joining F3. Friendship was just another term for drinking buddy or someone spoken to at work. Besides my wife and family, I had no real loyalty in my life. I can truly say, that without F3, none of the physical stuff would have happened, but more importantly, none of the brotherhood would have happened. When guys say that “this is more than a workout,” they truly mean it. We were working out yesterday, bear crawling and lunging over 200 yards, and there was 3rd F going on all around me. It was a fantastic display of what F3 is all about. We were talking about what we like to do on the weekends, war stories about tough workouts, Muggy Tape giving us some details about Bragg, and one nameless PAX that does what he can to get through dance recitals. These men have lives, they have war stories, and they have other interests, but they also choose to be out here in the gloom with you a few times a week. The workout is secondary, always has been. The challenge of getting out here drives us, but it is the brotherhood that keeps us coming back day after day. Below is how it went today.
