NMM: I articulated the route as starting out towards the QT, but then immediately ran the wrong direction. Nobody said anything. 😥 (Retread and I corrected the route, but come on men!)

When the leader doesn’t do what they said they’d do, other leaders should speak up. Our community needs your voice. Hold each other accountable.

The privilege of working out is one YHC did not take for granted this week.

And it never gets old, just better.

NMM: after completing the sweet 16 all pax acknowledged that those exercises would not have been done had we been left to do them our own in isolation. Community matters and today’s FNG came out for that very reason.

The gift F3 represents to each of us is unique. The common element, however, is that we must share it to fulfill the mission of invigorating male community leadership. How we do that is up to each of us.

Thanks for the call, Pauly D. And Welcome to Fartlek.

Honored,
:eye:
