GO30 June Effect

Talking to the M last night, I asked her if she saw any difference in my behaviors. “Yes”, she replied, “You don’t blow up at people like you used to. You ask them questions about what they said or did.” GO30 success.

As a practicing Catholic, I look forward to the season of Lent. If compels me to do better, and to be better. Taking it one step further, I then like to incorporate that into my life. For me, GO30 is very similar, with the caveat of accountabililty to my F3 Brothers.

I’ll admit, there were times when I wanted to aske people if they were idiots. I wanted to react. Instead, I responded, and tried to understand what led them to the current situation. A result is I am even more approachable, and coupled with my reflective evening prayers, I am calmer.

I love the supportive accountability. I love the fact that when I stumble, I am not judged, but helped back up and told to get back in the fight.

I strongly suggest you give this a try. There’s no risk and nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

Name-O-Rama:  Props to Hiway who drove in from Vancouver, Wa. to join us!

Spreadsheets:
Workout was a little clunky, but wanted to try out incorporating implements.  Many thanks for the PAX for being gracious and agreeing to the experiment.

Announcements:
Kemp and DINK will be updating the Seattle PB&J schedule

F3 weekend at Worthington. HC now before it’s too late.

Words: It’s easy to walk or run a half mile.  Throw 50 pounds on your back (the weight of Life) and tether it to another weight (obligations), and it’s not so easy.  We have each other, and should rely on the 2F to get us through the tough times. Focus on the goal and make it happen. With F3, you are never alone and always have help.
