12 PAX showed up to put in some work at #TheStorm early this morning.

Last night I looked at the forecast and it said 100% rain and this morning the rain was coming down in buckets.  No worries when you have the nicest AO in F3 Nation…the tweet went out that we would meet up inside.  All the PAX were all smiles to be out of that mess this morning when they entered the dry confine of the weight room.

With this being the week of Christmas and the end of the year I have to look back at this year and realize I have a lot to be thankful for and that I am truly blessed in all I have in my life (family, friends, job, etc.).  One thing I am happy to have in my life right now is F3 and the group of men that pushes each other to get better in both the physical way and as a person (community and family). Funny to think back to my first workout at the Schiele on March 23 and think how far F3 Gastonia has come since then.  I am looking forward to see what great things 2016 has in store for the men of F3 Gastonia and myself.

Again it was my pleasure to lead the PAX today!
