F3 Greenwood

 

YHC decided it was time to step up and lead because of all of the support he has received since becoming a part of F3. I posted for the first time at the Epicenter and wanted to VQ my workout there because that is where my journey began. Tclaps to Meatloaf for allowing me to take his Q on my Birthday!

I was honored that 15 Pax chose to take the #DRP and post to help me celebrate my 46th Birthday. I usually post at the shipyard because it is closer to where I live and I was honored that several of the shipyard regulars made the trip across town to join me for my VQ!

Excellent work by all of the Pax today! Thanks to all of you for pushing me to get better. Thanks again for all of the shipyard guys for coming to the Epicenter to support me. Big thanks to all of the Epicenter guys for welcoming me back home each time I post with them! I encourage each Pax to visit other AOs there are great men at each and  they are always pleased when you are there with them!

It was great also to have Alpo visit from Fury. What a honor to have the AO from Fury be there for your first Q. It didn’t come without a price for him. He mentioned that Uncle Jesse was butthurt because he was not posting for his Fury Q. I haven’t heard if Merlot was spilled by Uncle Jesse today but maybe some tears because he missed Alpo.

CAKE was a crowd pleaser, I think? Some mumblechatter was heard and some were accused of writing in cursive or using shorthand.

YHC was honored to lead this group of men and look forward to doing so again in the future.

YHC began his F3 journey on June 30th of this year after a long absence from any type of physical activity. My body immediately went into shock and I thought why have I allowed myself to get so out of shape. I continued to push because I saw brothers from all walks of life supporting one another and pushing one another to be better! I had to be a part of this thing called F3! Once I commit to something I give it my 110% plus and I give thanks for this drive that I have to my parents who have always wanted me to do my best. I told myself it would be months before I would ever be able to step up and lead/ Q and workout because I was barely able to perform many of the exercise. I continued to post to the boot-camps and my confidence continued to grow because of this new group of brothers who took me in and pushed me to the max but also never looked down on me because of my inability to keep up.I began reading all of the Twitter feeds and slack post of all of the other things going on at F3 Greenwood including the running groups which motivated me even more. I have never been a runner but I was now motivated to begin a training regiment in hopes to run a 5K on Oct 1st. I began training and suffered a set back. As most of you know I injured my knees to the point that it was difficult to walk. Running was off the table at this point and I was devastated. Several of the Pax reached out to me and encouraged my to continue to post, even going as far as to changing their workouts or creating workouts just for me! Wow how awesome is that! I had no excuse to fartsack and being around all of you has been great for me as I continue to heal! I am so humbled and honored to be a part of such a great group of men! Thank you for all that you have done for me and I pray that I will be a blessing to someone as well!

Until Next Time

Pegleg Out!
