Moleskin:

*Thank you so much for the opportunity to lead the F3 workout this morning! Feeling very blessed to have found this group.  I believe I have corrected my alarm clock issues, found a second alarm clock as back up to the phone’s alarm clock.  Still trying to track down a light pole or log of some sorts.

*Anyone who is nursing an injury or has an ailment they are dealing with, take it easy and slowly re-integrate yourself back into the workouts.  No one knows your body better than you and if you do not feel ready do not push it and re-aggravate it or make it worse. (Speaking from experience)

*Welcome back Halftime!

*Drink water men!

*A little fun with this BB, there is a reference to a song, who can find it?

Saturday is 2.0 Workout.  Bring your kids and bring your neighbors! There will be coffeeterria at the pavilion after — coffee, refreshments, breakfast.
