Thank you all for coming to work out with me and my son on his 14th birthday. He thought it was so cool that 14 PAX came! To be completely honest, I was nervous about Q’ing this morning and didn’t sleep the greatest, probably because I wanted it to be a fun experience for Ashton. I’m immensely proud of him and proud of being a part of the F3 community. Both him and you guys are a blessing in my life. Have a great day!
