Paying it Forward
At one point...no...scratch that...At the beginning of any budding friendship, the friends of your friend ask "Who's the fucking new guy/gal?" (Ok, I don't know if anyone actually uses "gal" besides my 78 year old dirty uncle Barry as he's saddled up at the bar and oogling the barstaff). As time moves on, your FNG status is passed along to some other poor shmoe who's trying to get a foot in the group. Sometimes they're cool and fit right in. Other times you're questioning your friendships. But let's face it, this challenge is better with friends. I use the term, friend, loosely because anyone that talks you into kicking your own ass on a daily basis either loves you or hates you. Most of you were brought into this group by a "friend", so this is your chance to pay it forward.
Kudos to anyone out there that is going at it alone, but this months challenge is to find that FNG. The FNG can be a new friend or old, but the caveat is that you must have never run or rode with them before. You must invite them along for a run or ride. If you can get them to commit, show up, and do a run/ride, post a pic of you two together. Then tag Josh and I in the activity. You get one entry, for this months challenge, per FNG (Max of 10 entries). The FNG has to be someone you HAVE NOT previously shared a run/ride with before. FNG’s can’t be shared. What I mean is: For example, if Josh and I run together with the same newbie only one of us can claim them. We will pick one winner from the finishers of this months challenge for our monthly prize. Reach out if you have any questions. As always: Have fun. Be safe. And anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
