Audible at O-Dark-Thirty

Leave a comment

Vuvuzela sent a text around 1:30am saying he was still up and wouldn’t be able to Q. Since I was already covering site Q duties anyway, I did what any site Q should do when you have a no show Q—step up and Q yourself but I was able to use Vuvuzela route he provided.

The Thang (Run):
Route took us:

– Down Munn Rd
– To Harris St
– Right into Sutton Mills
– Crossed Sutton Rd
– Down Suttonview Rd
– Into Masons Bend
– And back to home base

Clocked roughly 4–5 miles at a solid, conversational pace.

PSA: Running AOs require constant awareness. Too many distracted drivers out there. We can’t control them, but we can control spacing, visibility, and keeping our heads on a swivel. Shady and Tiller can attest.

COT: Talked briefly about stepping up when plans change. Leadership doesn’t wait for perfect conditions—it responds when needed. That’s how trust is built and how groups stay strong.

Grateful for men who show up, adapt, and get the work in—no excuses.
