Holy Hell it has been one year for me on this journey.

So I thought it would be interesting to do a Wet Wipe year in review.

How I became involved in F3……

Well I have this amazing friend who kept ditching me and avoiding our gym, Anytime Fitness. Evidently he frustrated me to the point where I just didn’t back down until I got an answer as to why he kept flaking out.

His explanation was simply he has been working out with a great group of guys outdoors and I would really like it. My response was that sounds weird, it sounds like cult to be honest.  Well I broke down and we made an agreement, I will do your cult workout if you come to the gym.

So last year I came for the first time to an At At Q at DT and we did the Fitness Test. I felt like I did decent and I thought this might be exactly what I need in my life. My second showing was a Saturday at DT with Coldcuts on Q. It was at that point I realized he enjoys running and I did not share his passion. Towards the end of the hour long workout (surprise, surprise) I had an experience unlike any since joining the group.  My tongue was dragging on the ground because I was tired and I was complaining a little bit and Fib got on my butt saying “You can’t be that fricking tired Wet Wipe, you haven’t shut the up yet “.  That was very difficult for me to take and I went home and sulked for two or three days getting more angry every time I thought about it. Then I realized his words were exactly what I needed to hear and that was the kick in the butt or the dose of reality that was needed in order to get my life moving in the right direction again. I am grateful to Dr. Ralph for the introduction to this group. I will forever be in debt to Fib for his words that have motivated to still be here today.

The lows of 2019

*My extended family and I had a falling out to the point where our relationship can not be salvaged.

*My FIL has been dealing with cancer and it’s on going battles from chemo to radiation to now a removal of the tumor later this morning.

*Grandma Betty went with Lord.

*I have resigned from coaching football due to differing philosophies with HC.

*My own surgery which has gone smoothly.

*I had two former players die in an automobile accident.

Positives of 2019

*Every time I came upon a difficult situation I had my brothers covering my 6.

*I have developed great relationships with a lot of PAX and a shield lock.

*I have found an appreciation for prayer and church again.

*Lastly, I have found an organization (not a cult) that defines selfless. The group is willing to do anything for anyone at anytime.

In closing, the words that Fib said to me during that workout were exactly what was needed and they will forever be appreciated.

Shout outs- I just wanted to give a special thanks to a few people that have helped along the way. Dr. Ralph, Smokey, Snart, all my boys from Maple Creek or Winding Brook, & lastly the Skulls in particular TBD & At At.
