NMM:
You ever just 3000% took care of everything and crushed it by all outward metrics, but you didn’t do it with JOY in your heart? So your wife, kids, or close friend noticed and it wasn’t the reaction you expected…even though the mission was fully accomplished
It isn’t enough to just do a good job
Handle the mess your kids created with success, but did it in a way that made them feel scared rather than safe? Failure
Take care of business for your family, but made your wife feel like it was a burden rather than a mission? Failure
Maybe it’s just me… 😉 Good thing failure is a way point and not an end point. Let’s stay after it!
Surprise surprise. We ran down Munn to Harris. Jackson street to Ardrey loop.
The gubmint needs to put them sidewalks back in so we can have some of our old routes back.

WARMUP: In Cadence: Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Hillbilly Walkers & Windmills. Counted off.
THE THANG: Took off for a basic run and boot. 3.02 miles with stops along the way.
Pain Station stops included: merkins, squats, burpees, cocaine bear crawls, Carolina dry docks, jump squats, etc as we moseyed from COT to Dam Rd and back.
Many words were given and they all mattered and defined. From honest, accountable, virtuous, dependable etc all great words. There is no perfect definition but we should all be striving to make sure we are doing all we can to be a Good Man because the world badly needs Good Men. The words above that we do without thinking keep it up, those that we have to strive to do better at – keep working at it – the world needs GOOD MEN. You have 31 days to close 2025 and set the tone for 2026 – go be a Good Man!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Food Drive happening now. Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch
COT: was held
NMM:
When you find yourself at the end of the road, your left with the same resources that got you there. Gotta use them to get moving again!
I heard a reference to a “second starting” line in terms of my mammon (teaching music). That is: once we learn the notes and rhythms, there’s a second starting line. We’re finally ready to make art rather than simply craft.
When you hit end of a road, turn around and think of it as the second starting line. Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.
WARMUP: not on the books
THE THANG: run to Callahan Street and back
