CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: Fellowship. The Crucible kicked me in the teeth. Last three miles were mentally exhausting. Altar Boy ran/walked with me to keep me going. The Gazelles; Crayfish, Nature Boy, Speaker, Four Eyes waited on me and encouraged.
Its humbling knowing that your physical abilities fail. However, we must remember that we have others to lean on. Let them serve you. If you don’t have someone to lean on, get one and really question your current friend network. F3 is much more than just a workout. I appreciate the fellowship and its an honor knowing you HIM!
MOLESKIN: This felt like a low-key workout, good opportunities for mumblechatter. It kept us moving and we utilized just about every one of the 45 minutes.
Thankful that there was no frost and that I could feel my fingers most of the time. Also, PAX can bear crawl approximately half the diagonal length of the field (from the 1/2 mile mark on the track back to CMU pile) in 5 minutes time.
