ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
Vuvuzela sent a text around 1:30am saying he was still up and wouldnât 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 Qâstep 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 4â5 miles at a solid, conversational pace.
PSA: Running AOs require constant awareness. Too many distracted drivers out there. We canât 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 doesnât wait for perfect conditionsâit responds when needed. Thatâs how trust is built and how groups stay strong.
Grateful for men who show up, adapt, and get the work inâno excuses.
WARMUP: Too cold
THE THANG: in the words of Rev. Al Green, âTake Me To The Riverârunners ran to the River & back. Ruckers did they own thang
MARY: nope
