F3 Greenwood

The Chipper and the Hijack

A dozen PAX made a commitment to #GetBetter in the #Gloom in spite of the #Mumblechatter that YHC would be looking to celebrate a big win for the Eagles the night before. Somewhere along the line, Meatloaf hit his head and thought he had the Q, but we straightened things out and, ultimately, the PAX are gonna get smoked regardless if its YHC or Meatloaf on the controls. YHC led some discussion of what F3 is about and what it means to #LiveThird.

  • As always, it was a pleasure leading the PAX

Personal Note

  • In May, my oldest boy was in a pretty serious golf cart accident in which his ankle was crushed. His recovery is still not complete. I was a member at our local CrossFit affiliate, but was looking for a deeper connection that involved more than the gym. I was also participating in the Pathfinder ruck training program and saw UHaul from Florence posting a lot of stuff about F3 and asked about it. Turns out I knew many of the guys in F3 Greenwood, but there were many I did not know. My first week in F3, my son spent in the hospital with an infection in his bone. I was swarmed with emails, phone calls and text messages from guys asking how my family was doing. I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from the PAX and knew I had found the answer to the problem that I had. I picked up a copy of Freed to Lead and read it almost entirely in one night. I have since read it cover-to-cover six times. Every time I learn something new about #SadClownSyndrome and #TheSolution. I am a better man, netter husband, better father and better leader in my community because of F3 and the men who represent it. I have made some incredible friendships across the state and did things I never would have done without the benefit of F3. Bottom Line – this organization is about serving our world, first at home and then in our community. It’s more than just a morning workout. But the workouts are pretty cool!
