CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Get to know your neighbors. That was certainly the focus of the workout today and has been a great benefit to me joining F3. I walked/ran/drove by all these houses for 3 years not knowing or talking to anyone. Now I’ve got a great Shield Lock in the neighborhood and some other F3 brothers as well. Looking forward to seeing more of everyone in the summertime!

On a more somber note we prayed for OReilly’s neighbors the Nelson’s who lost their husband/father of only 50 years last week. Son is 17 years old. Prayed for strong male role models to step up in his life during this really difficult time. Would also appreciate any prayers for my 17 month old daughter Olivia. She has a reconstructive kidney surgery next Tuesday at Lebonheur Downtown; we should be in the hospital for 1-2 days.

MOLESKIN:
This was a perfectly timed workout. Mixed it up and finished on time at 8-Track for once but still got a good workout in between the exercises and the miles. Kept moving the whole time as well! It was mentioned that the workout would have been more difficult from a neighborhood happiness standpoint with high volume mumblechatter. Thankfully Cheezesteak and Hobby Lobby were not present as I had an alternate Q prepared just in case.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hype film and Bo-Peep VQ @ mothership tomorrow
