Go The Extra Mile

Leave a comment

The runners took a familiar route to Harvest Pt and back. Ruckers traveled aimlessly around Baxter with good fellowship and conversation. The message this morning was do a little extra distant in support of Wegman's who is running the Boston Marathon. He has put in lots of early morning training runs leading up to this event. Lots of great HIMs have supported him along the way.
Special prayer this morning as he completes this goal.

No route suggested.

I didn’t even bother suggesting a route. Half the guys were going on trails to ruck train, the other half already knew where they wanted to go. And Vuvu and Stagecoach plotted their own deal together. Hey, I’m not bitter.
