COT (edited version when my brain worked)
Last April, I ran 3.4 miles at an 11:42 pace. Today is my first Run Club Q at 5.17 miles at a 7:48 pace. That kind of change does not happen by accident.
Since joining F3 on May 2, 2025, today was my 309th post. Workouts, book clubs, dinners, volunteering, 309 times choosing to show up for somebody else and for myself. That is what changed me. Not one big moment. Not motivation. Reps, consistency, brotherhood, doing hard things over and over until they start to feel like part of who you are.
Recently I met an amazing woman, mother, and partner who never knew the old version of me. When she heard how different my life was a year ago, she asked if this version of me is permanent, or if I could slip back into the old version I was for the first 40 something years. And I keep thinking about how life works just like work does. You learn skills, you use them, and you get better. Then you learn more, and you get better again. That is how growth works.
So yes, be kind to your old self. He did not have the tools yet. But celebrate the version of you that does. The one who knows how to show up. The one who knows how to keep going. The one who can do hard things every day.
