Introduction
Change is the spice of life so when I drove by The Colosseum on the way home from work and saw they just mowed the soccer’s fields and I just bought new shoes I went with a future idea of mine. Let’s go visit a couple places that we have never been to or only once ever before.

Circle of Trust
I’m in sales so rejection is literally my job. I supervise people and also have many peers. I enjoy rejection because to me at least it’s a response. With others I don’t care that they are rejected but I do care how they respond to rejection.
I was rejected by a F3 brother this week who wanted to run solo when I asked if I could join them on a EC. I didn’t ask why and then went on solo and really didn’t think about it until the next day. But this happened last week, the week before, while on vacation with family and it will happen next week.
But I’m not going to stop asking people to get better, to EC, to get outside of their comfort zone or try something new. At the same time I’m not going to entertain their excuses or take a rejection personally. And while I’m being rejected I’m going to keep “digging the ditch” and finding others that want to get better.
The magic of F3 is that there is no shortage of men that will challenge you to get better. What if F3, the post counts, the contests and if these men stopped challenging you, what would you do? Do you have the will to continue on and accept your own challenges? Or will you then reject yourself?
And are you asking others to step up and lead them? Or are you rejecting the opportunities that come your way. Be intentional, step outside of your normal and seek rejection from others and then react in a positive way.
Aye!

Perfect numbers at 9 total PAX and no where to hide.
Breakaway back ITG from Florida was a welcome sight. The positive energy, rapport and the feedback has been missed.
Pi missed EC and was banged up. But he never quit and ran away more than he wanted to.
Squidward really enjoyed exploring and the running. This guy’s going to be out front and in 🪖 shape in no time.
Black Diamond crew of Bedpan, BCS, Slinky and Bunker pushed the slingshot pace the entire time.
And Toby was smoked but is also Black Diamond regular ready.
