CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love my time here in Alcoa F3.  It has been over 3 years of hot, snowy, frigid, downpours and few perfect temp days of hard workouts but I loved every minute of it.  Going to miss the amazing history lessons from Hammy, trying to keep up with Snorkel, Veep’s odd funnel stories, beer rucks, heart felt messages from Drifter, carrying bowling balls, turkeys, and swords around like it’s normal, dressing up as Mario with Snorkel as Luigi, Waxjob Hill, The Educator, Mt. Crumpet, Hellbender Bend,  and I am going to miss all the encouraging words by each and every member that passed my way.  See you all in the gloom some day soon.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This month I’m trying to express more gratitude for the things i have in my life. While we all can be grateful for F3, what it has done for us and the PAX, i challenged the pax to think of other things we are grateful for.

  • Smuggler-My wife and the change she has made in my realatiohsip with my daughter. We have gone through some hard times, a lot due to my own bad relationship decisions. However my wife has come in and been an amazing force in my life and has made a world of difference.
  • Pinocchio- His son, being a new father has given him a new perspective on life.
  • Veep- His job and the the ability that has provided him to do things for his family.

Take time to let those around you know you’re grateful for them.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Keep grinding everyday and remember what you’re running for. Whether it be to better yourself or others, keep putting in the work consistently every day.
