This morning we celebrated 7 years of being a member of F3 Nation. It has been a great ride and I owe so much to it and my brothers. You have made me better. Weather was a nice chilly 35 degrees. We started with a prayer, then mosied over to the closest field and circled …
The men of Shawshank enjoy a good workout to increase their #betterment. This morning for 10 PAX was no different. It was cold outside and the ground was frozen but that didn’t stop the hard work or the mumble chatter from these guys. Always enjoy getting out to some of the other AOs and meeting …

Lego has been the AOQ of Shawshank for the past year. During this time, we battled through virtual workouts, bought swag in multiple colors, and had a solid COP in February. All in all, a great year. Seriously, Lego is a dude with a solid heart who helped me talk through a couple issues when …
