The morn was ripe with crisp air, and no preacher in sight outlawing our loose feet.

Clock struck 0515 and 2 of our 11 #faithful took off for an extended YOG leaving 10 men at my disposal.  Beginning our mosey, #goodol’rockytop came in on two wheels ala Knight Rider.  We circle the parking lot and picked up a brother and now we were ten.  To the back parking lot of the Baptist Church which would serve as our painning ground.

Warmorama included squats, merkins, squats, merkins, SSH, and some night clubs.

COT

Naked Man Moleskin

Thanks Anchorman for the invite to Q at the newest Moderate workout.  Took the opportunity to go classic route.  Simple is gooooood.  The faithful were a bunch of hard chargers.  During COT YHC discussed book I am reading with my Whetstone Partner- The Road to Character.  Discussed theme of Adam I vs Adam II; Resume virtues vs Eulogy virtues.  Our struggle as people to have our outward projection be in harmony with our inner souls.

“The resume virtues are the ones you list on your resume, the skills that you bring to the hob market and that contribute to your external success.The eulogy virtues are deeper.  They’re the virtues that get talked about at your funeral, the ones that exist at the core of your being- wheter you are kind, brave, honest or faithful; what kind of relationships are formed.”

“Adam I is career oriented, ambitious side of our nature…Adam I wants to build, create, produce, and discover things.  He wants to have high status and win victories.  Adam II is the internal Adam.  Adam II wants to embody certain moral qualities.  Adam II wants to have a serene inner character, a quiet sense of right and wrong- not only to do good, but to be good.”

“We are forever caught in self-confrontation.  We are called to fill both personae, and must master the art of living forever within the tension between these two natures.”

“To Nurture your Adam I career, it makes sense to cultivate your strengths.  To nurture your Adam II moral core, it is necessary to confront your weaknesses.”

AYE!
