At 0525 on March 5, 2018, YHC pulled into the parking lot at Tuckahoe Elementary for his first post. YHC had been asked multiple times over the previous year to come to F3, but he always said no. This was the day YHC decided to do it.
After an awkward interaction (the first of many) with Upchuck that ultimately led to YHC’s nickname, Honeydo launched the Q. That boot camp beat the ever-living snot out of YHC. Even through the exhaustion, something was energized; something was revived.
YHC came out once or twice a week for the first few weeks, then rolled his ankle at 45MOM. YHC thought the motivation would be lost, but it wasn’t. Thanks to the help of many in the Pax—most notably Vinny—YHC kept coming back.
While eight years is not a monumental anniversary like 1, 5, 10, or 15, any year that marks the willingness and ability to get up early—regardless of weather or sleep—meet friends at random places around the city, and do silly and dumb things together is something to celebrate.
YHC is very thankful for the friendships that have come from F3 and for the inspiration of both more tenured and more recent Pax members alike. We are all better together than we are as individuals.
Enough about the sappy talk. 9 men met today at Mary Mumford to do a Boot Camp. YHC had planned to go over to the fields, but the gentleman was there marking them so that required YHC to Audible. Various exercises were completed triple check, partner work, bear crawls crab walks, various Ab exercises, balls to the wall. Whatever we could do in 45 minutes.
Announcements Salt Lake has breaking bread Saturday this month, but the Sunday is open. The Alamo 3 year celebration is coming up, which also includes a 2 year celebration for Crabgrass.
Prayer requests for Carmax employees as they transition back to five days full on site, it will be a huge shift for those employees and their families and their schedules of working from home and the flexibility that gave them goes away.
Day four is done. Day five will be at tunnel vision tomorrow.
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this group.
PS – Today is also Senor Frogs 3 year Anniversary.
