Circle of Trust
My CoT was about self control and doing things in moderation.
A few weeks ago I hit a wall, I called it the F3 wall. I was burnt out, both physically and mentally from F3, everything at home was perfect and everything at work was fine, I was just doing to many F3 “things”. I did a few battalions in a row, Lincoln games, dragon clan, 9 PAX in a row, HIIT Classes, didn’t miss any 2nd F events, FMSC, going to Q source a few times a week, I was just overdoing it to the point where it stopped being fun. I started being in a bad mood every morning when I came out. I started taking the playful trash talking personal when it wasn’t meant that way. I felt myself responding to PAX disrespectfully when they were genuinely concerned with my well being. I did not like the person I was becoming, so I decided to take a step back and take some time off from F3. I mentioned it to a few close friends and like the caring brothers that they are they all reached out. I was still in the asshole mode and didn’t answer their calls and texts, or I’d be short with my answers and just told them that I did not want to talk about it. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain my mindset but also wanted to apologize to them for behaving this way. I’m learning that I need to have more self control and I have to do this in moderation, regardless of my FOMO. I appreciate the callouts and hope everyone understands why I will not being participating in the QvQ.

I was not expecting such a large group this morning. I need to improve on direction/instruction for the Indian runs. I audibled over the bridge as it was a bit time consuming and also cut PT exercises at the pavilions due to time. Not too bad for my first Pearls on a String but lots of opportunities to improve.
