Winners let obstacles motivate them. Losers let obstacles defeat them. The challenge, loss, or discomfort is the same, but YOU have the power to choose its effect. Inspire or quit – which will you choose?

Billy Madison Loop

6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:

– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

NMM
When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.

Aye!
Italian Job
