THE THANG: Partner up and RUN!!

MOLESKINE: The tale of the Tortoise & Hare played out in real life today. Those that started off with a dead sprint were gassed by the first turn and never recovered the pole position. Those that started out with a deliberate pace maintained performance and set PRs.

Three 4:13 Strong men set a PR and Young and Restless set a PR. It was a great day to run.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The final Signing Day of 2024 will be on Friday 11/1 at 11:30. Come join us, celebrate the 7 men that are moving into the work phase and let 4:13 Strong buy your lunch.

The Struggle 003 is 11/1 – 11/2. We have a couple of open spots if you are interested. This is a fantastic experience that will push your physical and mental limits while forging deeper relationships with those you Struggle with. Let me know if you want more details or if you are ready to sign up.

COT: Prayers for family, healing comfort and direction.

MOLESKINE: It is much easier to push yourself and do hard things when you have someone doing them with you. Thank you to my F3 brothers for slowing down and encouraging the 4:13 Strong men. We had a huge lift in confidence today with so many new PRs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Struggle 003 is 11/1. This is a Friday night so no need to worry about work the next day. Stay tuned for more details. If you are ready to lock in your spot, let me know.
