MOLESKINE:
I think we often bring pride to our beatdowns and that hurts us. I expected to do more than I was able to do today and ended up having to modify some of my exercises to protect injuries. It was also hot and humid, there was a definite need for water. I’ve learned in 9 years of F3 that I have to push myself and only do what I can. There are some days that will inevitably be better than others.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
4th of July Convergence next Friday at Handsomizer! Keep your eyes on the slack channels
July 10th Night Moves led by SalPal, keep your eyes on the slack channels

COT:
Each man shared something going on in their lives. Lots of prayer requests for healthy family members, requests for traveling mercies, and requests for practicing gratitude in life’s ups and downs

God Bless each of you, it was an honor to Q the Pain Train today. You’re amazing men and I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to work out with y’all.
