Numbers, Names, Emoji took us out!
YHC heard the above quote from Fife this morning — don’t think it was aimed directly at YHC, but just in general. There are mornings that YHC asks the same question. Why are we doing this? Is it for the muscles that we are shaping? For the endurance and stamina that is growing? For the endorphin rush? YHC thinks it is so much more than that — it’s about the camaraderie, the shared experiences, the struggle, and as my friend Miley so thoughtfully put it — “It’s the Climb!”
YHC’s M is about to undergo a major surgery that will challenge our family’s fortitude and endurance. F3 has given YHC the ability to push through things, to endure and to come out on the other side better for it. Thanks for all the support and drive you have given YHC through the years.
Why are we doing this? You know why. Keep doing it and invite your friends!
Peace
Opus

Well said Opus. I’ve enjoyed being in the trenches with you during my short tenure with F3. You and your family are in my prayers for the upcoming surgery.
Praying for your M and your whole family, Opus! Let me know what I can do to help.
I couldn’t hold back the laughter when I heard Fife say this. He voiced what all of us have thought at some point. I was reminded this morning of why we do this in the gloom. There is nothing like being the PAX and conquering the challenges together.
Opus, we will be praying for your M and for you as you support her. We are here for you and your family as you go through this season.
Great Q Opus! Way to bring it this morning. Praying for your M and family during this time!
Heard I had to read this BB this morning, we’ll said Opus. Prayers for your M and know you’ve got brothers with you to help through this.
Prayers for you and your M, brother Opus.
We do this to stay strong for each other.
Awesome BB Opus. We are here for you brother and will be praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
Well done, great workout Opus! God speed and hope this week and recovery phase goes really well and QUICK as possible.
