MOLESKIN:
- Always great to see Tomb Raider come for a visit, great to see Sully, Pronto Pup and Raven back out (although quite frankly I didnt know you hadnt been there since I don’t post at the Levee regularly (shame on me).
Observations: SO MANY this morning. I did NOT want to come to F3 this morning. I didn’t feel good physically and mentally I wasn’t feeling strong either. Nevertheless, I got up at 0430 when my alarm went off and went downstairs and sat there for what seemed like an eternity. I had many doubts in my head about what I had planned which continued during my drive. I even had a brief thought that maybe I would get a flat tire and then I wouldn’t have to Q…terrible I know. I got to the Levee about 15 minutes early and hoped the Qdrenaline would set in. I retrieved my CMUs and others started rolling in and I could feel the community juices flowing and even though I was still questioning everything, I knew these men were relying on me to make them better and stronger so I sucked it up and lead us through the exercises marking them off 1 by 1. When we were all done, everyone (except Tomb Raider of course) looked kind of tired so I knew I had done a good thing. I felt a little bit energized from the PAX and encouraged by everyone there who was working hard to get better! I didnt mention any of this in my BOM although thinking back on it now, I probably should have. It’s ok and I would say a good thing for guys to be vulnerable with others guys and share your fears, your struggles, and put it out there because more than likely other guys have been there or are currently there right now. Don’t be afraid to be REAL with a brother.
