I remarked at the start of the workout that I was happy to see 23 guys show up to Slow Burn.  Hard Drive’s tweet yesterday, announcing my Q, was met with just 1 favorite – my own.  The Pax were greeted with cool temps and a light breeze this morning which felt great, and we had a fine group out there.  The growth of F3 in the Fort Mill area has been awesome to see, and the number of 50+ year olds posting at workouts also continutes to grow (we had 4 today).  Way to go men – it’s just a number anyway.   F3 brings out your best and it’s a privilege to be a member and lead this group.

Announcements:  Children’s Attn Home bike ride tomorrow, 4pm.  F3 Winsborro (clown cars leaving Ft MIll, check twitter),  Memorial Day Murph workout at NAFO (6:45a)  following the normal Monday workouts.  Hog/Coyote June 20 and Pusher Qing at Alcatraz tomorrow

Prayers/praises:  Sucessful round of chemo for Pax member’s wife.   Tumors shrinking!
