Eleven fine men, no FNGs.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The brothers of F3 certainly take the phrase, “Iron Sharpens Iron” to heart.  I can think of many ways that this old man has been sharpened by my brothers:

• Pinto and Hooker bringing me out for my first workout and the encouragement I received from them afterwards, when I was barely breathing.
• Zygote, whom I didn’t know until that first workout, circling back to run with me, letting me know it is ok to modify and that I was doing just fine.
• Edit and Dimples, a few months later, bragging on how much I was improving.
• Crawdad, partnering with this old man on workouts and calling me “a beast.”
• Abscess, pushing me on, worrying about the time I almost lost an ankle in a hole in the ground, and pointing out holes for me.
• Only last Saturday, when I was in last place in P-Nut’s Sea Biscuit, having Doubtfire circle back to do some of my exercises for me and run the last lap with me.
• Getting smiles, hellos, and encouragement from all of you brothers every time I come out for an F3 workout.  This brotherhood is awesome.  I am Sharper because of each of you.
