COT:
Q shared importance of sprint distance. 2,555 days is 7 years. It’s been that long since my bone marrow transplant after battling leukemia.
Some days you wake up and have an idea as to what will happen and some days the dice of fate you give you hardship. Along the way there have been ups and downs and issues galore but thankful to be on this side of it all.
Going into my fight I was as lukewarm in life as one could be, but that quickly changed as God kept peeking through in numerous ways. It helped to have a strong support system that continues to this day and has grown with F3. It’s an honor to be out with yall in the mornings.

Stronger – Higher – Faster – Together

Steve Prefontaine was an Olympic runner from Oregon in the 70s and also the namesake of my dog.

He was a flat out runner that didn’t buy into strategy, or %, he was a flat out runner.

My fav quote from Pre, that I couldn’t remember is, “To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift”.

Hit me in the car.

Hope all of you men work to get Stronger – Higher – Faster – Together.
