Circle of Trust

One year ago, on a Thursday morning, I posted for the first time in the dark at the horrible time of 5:15am.  Trickle had been EHing me for a while.  I finally broke when he called me to say there is a new AO by your house and I know you will like F3.  I’m so glad I stopped making excuses and joined him ITG.  I was lucky to receive the name Bedpan.  The legend was born.  I learned from some very smart HIMs at workforce yesterday, I really should of lead with my this for my name of rama as an fng “this one time I lost my wedding ring at a swingers party and my wife wasn’t there” would of definitely gotten me a better F3 name.

F3 was something I never knew I really needed.  I started off slow, posting once maybe twice a week.  I started to get to know the PAX.  The small doses of 2nd F was working its magic.  The moment I realized how powerful F3 is and how important male fellowship was when my wife and I’s college friends could not make our Halloween party.  It dawned on me how important proximity is after hearing this from Trickle.  The opportunity for like minded people to push each other to be better has been amazing.   My fitness level has increased, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some great PAX, and giving back to the community.

The 2nd F has been a strong part of Crossroads.  With the new Ho-Ho (HIM Out – Hang Out) 2nd F events will be a great way to encourage PAX to Q a 2nd F event how ever they want.  These friendships are starting with Fitness, grows from the fellowship, and becomes bigger than ourselves with 3rd F.  We will soon be introducing more 3rd F activities.  Look for a sad clown and bring them out to F3.  They wont regret it.
