How it started vs. how it’s going. Thanks to men like these, I’m not the same man that I used to be and that’s a very good thing. 10 years strong. @F3Foothills@F3Nation
@jaw5757@Mike_kim714 If you haven’t already, read “The Masters” by Curt Sampson. A lot of members didn’t want this book released and there’s a ready for that.
2024 Goals accomplished:
- 14,000 ft of gain
- random start (Waffle House challenge)
- essentially invite only, micro-relay
Bros from @F3IronPax@F3Omaha@f3boone@f3ncfoothills@F3Gastonia have permanent invites. Rest of yall are subject to screening requirements. 👀 Metro
Bunch of teams making noise @smokymtnrelay this weekend. @F3Foothills RUNHKY made the most. 207 miles and 22,000 ft of vertical gain. 1st place with a total time of 26:30 - 7:40 pace. Smokin’. @F3Nation
Why does running create such tight bonds?
You get to see each other at your most vulnerable points. Fatigued, stressed, anxious, exhausted.
Shared stress and vulnerability bring people together.
If there weren’t men who refused to give up on me, I know exactly where I’d be… and it’s not anywhere good.
You stop being less, then go stop another man.
