Circle of Trust

Here’s a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

 

Today we opened up another opportunity here at LaunchPad for men to step up, get out of their comfort zone and lead by adding another day. Our progress on this AO stalled back in the spring when we hit COVID which halted in-person workouts here. I came out and did some of the virtual live workouts here where we’d check in with a “running man”🏃‍♂️ emoji at 5.15 to signal we were starting the posted workout for that day.  It worked alright, but it wasn’t the same.  I’m thankful today that we’re back, that LaunchPad and F3 Naperville/Crossroads is growing and that you all came out this morning to mark the occasion.  Thanks for the push, thanks for working you butts off, let’s not take it for granted.  And let’s keep moving forward. 

Naked Man Moleskin

Special thanks for all that came out this morning.  Especially Sparkler, Flush, Giggles, Bartyles and Jaymes, John Denver, Toby who normally post at F3 Crossroads.  I owe F3 Crossroads a post and I will return teh favor.  Shoutout to Moonlight for having my 6 and Aflac and Jackie Chiles for checkin out LP after I guilt tripped them yesterday.
