And BoneThugs Rose

39 studs posted for a morning of accomplishment and celebration. Most on foot, some on wheels. Running route was the old school route 10k, nice and simple. Launch times ranged from 5:00 am to 5:30 am.

NMM: A few random thoughts while running this morning. 1. I was inspired by how many PAX came out to support and to run with BoneThugs. His entourage was more like 20 folks running along side and with him. With 20 others joining at the end for an inspirational finish. Pretty awesome to watch. 2. Some of you are going to hate this, but….what an awesome route old school is. Yes, it is simple and repetitive, but it is a great route. Why we ever let Marv lead us astray, I do not know. 3. BoneThugs accomplished what most would consider a physical task this am. But much like anything in life, most of the work is mental work. It is easy to let ones mind and inner voice sabotage what we are capable or….but if you believe, you can achieve (probably stolen directly from Swirly’s board) 4. BoneThugs had the trust in the PAX to completely give himself to those who have trained with him the last 6 months. He never asked what we were doing, how he was going to get from start to 10k, he just did what he was asked to do and believed in the PAX. 5. I was inspired with the courage and humility it takes for folks who are taking a long journey to fitness and health to continuously post and incrementally improve. I have seen many F3 brothers who were not runners, show up every week, finish last, keep working and eventually surpass other runners. Those weeks spent at the back of the pack can be challenging and the reward far away, but I have spoils of the hard work and it is inspiring.

Congrats to BoneThugs. Quite an accomplishment my friend. Just one a string of many victories to come…..keep pushing
