Ah Fayetteville… land of YHC’s teenage youth. Could not resist the beckoning call to Q in the place that holds so many memories of adolescent craziness. Chong and YHC arrived to the AO hoping to see some new faces to F3 and within 5 minutes, there were 5 PAX. 5 is better than the 0, weeks before. F3 Fayetteville is showing signs of life.

COT:
- Name-o-rama: Good to have “World Wide” who used to post in the Sandhills. Welcome Bebop (Ron=birth name: favorite kid’s show was Ninja Turtles no less) and Aristocrat (Grayson=birth name: Grayson Highlands Virgina, Highland scots, he greeted the PAX with “top of the morning”, we couldn’t think of a nasty brand of Scotch whiskey so Aristocrat would have to suffice). Great work out there this morning gents. It’s a new day!
- This past March represents 4 years since YHC decided to step off the porch and get into shape. I lost 35 lbs in the first year of running. Completed my first race, which was the Currahee Mountain challenge in Georgia. 3 miles up, 3 miles down. “Currahee” means “we stand alone.” The mountain was directly adjacent to where part of the 101st Airborne trained at Toccoa. During WW2 the soon to be Airborne troopers ran up and down the mountain throughout their training getting better and faster. Fayetteville, home of the 82nd and Special Operations, YHC can’t wait to see you “step off the porch” and into the gloom. Find your mountain and conquer it. F3 has become more to YHC in the past year and 7 months, than just a workout. I have found brothers that will stand with me through anything. And yes…we run mountains too. Welcome to the Nation.
- Aye!!!
