Due to construction at Walter Elisha Park, Millllkshake met at Fort Mill First Baptist Church with The Fort. After the disclaimer, 6 split-off for a 2 mile moderate ruck that included some church stairs, and a couple good hills. We set off on the pre-determined route, stopping four times for some low, slow squats, pushups, and a few other exercises.

Along the way, we had a great conversation about what it means to be a man. This included being responsible for protecting, providing for, and training up our wives and children. (among others) We thought about who in our lives had been good examples to us, guiding us on this journey to become men, and what  we are doing to be good examples to those we are responsible for.

I lost both of my Grandfathers this year, and spent some time reflecting on what I’ve learned from them. I’m grateful for good examples that I can think back on, and I strive to practice what I’ve learned as I raise my own children, and as I lead other men in a professional setting as well.

At some point during the walk, Bowser shared a story about when he stood-up for his sister, and the conversation shifted to some less-good examples of good decision making. It seemed that many of those experiences were closely related to the vicinity of jello-shots. (Not Bowser) 😉

Thank you for the good conversation, and thanks Drop Thrill for the opportunity!
