CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be patient and a good example for your kids (and any younger than you for that matter).  I know I struggle on a regular basis with keeping my cool when trying to get the kids to listen and do as they are told.  I wanted to simply remind everyone this morning how much children model our behavior.  They will very likely lash out if that is what we do every time we get a little impatient and frustrated.  Take a step back, breath, and collect your thoughts before you respond.
MOLESKIN:
I really appreciate the opportunity to lead the PAX this morning for my first F3 Knoxville Q.  Thanks for sticking with me through the workout.  I look forward to my next Q.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
14 men got better today. Sharky was there but couldn’t find a tag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I am at my fittest in my life at 35. I couldn’t hang out here with these men in the shape I was 10 years ago. I was a defensive tackle in HS and a powerlifter. I found my first year of college that my body did not need as much fuel as before and I cut out sodas. I lost 70 lbs in about 6 months. My point is, you are never too old to make the little lifestyle changes to be the fittest you have ever been. Fitter, happier, more productive. 😉
MOLESKIN:
Football field was all locked up so no staph infections from the turf!
