COT:
Thank you to the nine of you coming out early on this Monday morning to help me celebrate the 7 days of my birthday with 7 of our favorite exercise friends (See the Thang). This is also my first Q. I received much help and support from this community to be able to lead you in this celebration.
The book Bowling Alone talks about how community is waning, the reciprocal trust we give and share between one another around us is declining, and why we don’t participate together in civic and public activities. F3 and those who get up early to come out rain or shine are not exercising alone, in our basements, with headphones on blasting motivational music or podcasts. We are doing it together, supporting one another both at the AO and times in between. The Patriot group helped me prepare for my recent bicycle trip in Michigan with my daughter. The fellowship, comradery, and the support knowing I can modify as needed, will keep me coming back, even if I don’t have an immediate event or activity for which I need to “get in shape.” See you Wednesday!
