The Workout: The U-Turn! once again, PAX all over town this am. Some finished with 11+ after EC, some shy of 3, most hitting the 5+ mark with the 6 pick-ups along the way. Also, I’m pretty sure that Emeril wins for the day, as I rolled up early and might have seen him seeking the golden throne ahead of the turn…maybe I’m wrong. Lastly – I tagged Bernie, Straight Cash and Pikachu, but I’m not sure if anyone else was running with them or not. I’ll update if there was anyone with them I wasn’t aware of.

Shield Lock Challenge

July 27, 2019/in U Turn /QIC: Warbucks
PAX: 16-bit, 187, Aquaman, Bundey, Cowboy, Dauber, Dumbo, Emeril, Fonzie, Gump, LED, Lipsync, Martini, Nemo, Norm, Pablo, Pikachu, Skidmark, UTI, Warbucks, WebEx

23 Pax showed up for some nice running weather at U-Turn. Most set out on a 3 mile route, 1 for a backward U-Turn, 5 went for 5 with Dauber on bike support.

YHC picked up the Q today to share a message with the PAX. 3 years ago our 5 week old son passed away. My M and I had just moved to NC only a few weeks before our lives were turned upside down. Outside of the obvious pain and grief, O had no friends, nobody to help me other than my M. It wasn’t until last year when I started F3 that I realized what I was missing. I realized that this was a group of men that would show up when called upon.

My message this morning to Pax was to challenge them to take this a step further and build a Shield Lock (https://f3nation.com/2019/03/26/shield-lock-q1-7/). This is a group of 3 or 4 guys that you meet with regularly and hold you accountable and are there before you need them. This was the thing I needed but didn’t have when tragedy showed up. So even if things are great now, something will come up, so form your Shield Lock and be ready.
