F3 Hampton Roads has officially turned two years old. The weather was chilly and the sun had yet to rise when the workout kicked off, very similar to our first workout two years ago. Our region has grown month over month ever since with last month being another record month for attendance. Keep giving it away gentlemen.

Airwolf shared an excerpt from Admiral McRaven’s speech “If You Want to Change the World, Start Off by Making Your Bed” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sK3wJAxGfs).
YHC then shared a note that Funny Car sent him yesterday.
“Dear F3 Hampton Roads Brothers – I’m sorry I can’t be with you this morning as we celebrate two years of F3 in Hampton Roads. The recovery from the open heart surgery is going great. I am blessed to have had the opportunity two years ago to become part of the F3 family. I am thankful for the inspiration from all of you to motivate me to get out of my fartsack most Wednesday and Saturday mornings to enjoy fitness, fellowship, and faith with a great bunch of guys. F3 was instrumental in me being in such good shape to be able to experience such a strong recovery from the surgery. The F3 workouts also helped me to realize something was not right with my heart as I struggled to catch my breath during some exercises. I’m looking forward to coming back stronger and faster. But the greatest benefit being part of F3 are the friendships I have made with each of you. Thank you. – Funny car ?”
Prayer requests.
Ball of Man.
