COT

YHC shared that being injured over the last 3 weeks made me realize how much the 2nd F is critical to what we do. I was doing my workouts at home – not nearly the same intensity for multiple reasons, but still physically challenging, but my M made the comment that she could tell I was missing something. The workouts themselves were not having the same impact on my patience, presence, attitude, joy, etc. I missed the gloom, struggling with other men in the same direction. I missed the fellowship piece, and it cannot be decoupled from fitness without limiting the impact. The need for fellowship is real.

The conversation expanded into what motivates/demotivates us and what we could do to be more inclusive and inviting to F3 for current and prospective participants.

Great work today Men!
