Arrived at the AO about 15 minutes early and of course it was nice and dark since school is out. Luckily there were glow sticks available for the cones and the lights were on by the Pull-up bars. What more could anyone ask for. Cones set, tunes set, shovel flag set, GO!

Disclaimer then a pause while YHC started the program on the Garmin to keep this train on schedule. The pause was just enough for a last minute arrival by the ‘Squatch.
Slow mosey around the lot with some follow the leader variety for getting the legs all loosened up. YHC could tell it was going to be a good day from all the mumblechatter during the warm-up.

The Thang
Mosey to the bottom of the Sugar Creek ES hill. Squat shuffle diagonally in a zig-zag from curb to curb, following the cones and generally facing uphill the whole way. It was awesome and terrible and definitely will return in the future.
Mosey back down the hill for a REPEATO.

Pull up a stall at the pull-up bars and pucker up for the next ride.

NMM
I’ve been feeling overwhelmed from what seems like 7 different directions. Work is not super, the typical issues with houses that have piled up, a new project at Church that is weighing on my mind, thought my car was going to give up this past week, and others that I can’t recall as I sit writing this. Then I went out and spent 45 minutes this morning busting my tail with a bunch of guys that didn’t know any of this stuff. At COT I was reminded that I have a bunch of stuff going on, but others have struggles so much more challenging right now. That perspective helped me rein in my worries. While most of those things I listed are still there, I know that they are not insurmountable. With the support of my Heavenly Father I can overcome my challenges, as trivial or difficult as they may be for me right now. Thanks guys! For being there with me this morning, even though you didn’t know the total impact that your simple actions had.
