Nice work by the pax putting on a good show for the crew pouring concrete in the gloom…I’m sure we made for some lively chatter over coffee and donuts when the morning roach coach pulled up onto the scene.

Lots of vigorous mumblechatter among the pax at the launch and throughout the first half of the workout.  Then the fun truly kicked in with the sequence that involved ten laps around the Gold Hill Speedway.  No paint swapping but there was plenty of encouragement shared among the pax.  Including other miscellaneous running, we notched 2.5 miles today.  None of the pax on hand can claim they are not a runner.   #everyoneisarunner

The message today related to leadership, starting with myself.  We see examples daily of good and bad leadership.  The worst of all is when there is NO leadership.  All men are called to lead.  All pax have the gift of leadership in some form etched on their hearts.  Start there.  Find your purpose, find your spirit and take a step in that direction.  It does not have to be headline worthy and it does not have to pull along a swarm of followers.  Start now.  As a wise friend once told me, “You can’t adjust course until you untie from the dock.”  If I make the right decisions (especially the small ones) that move me in alignment with the true core principles in my heart, I will be leading while I am following.

Thanks to Change Order for the opportunity to Q — it is always a privilege!
