THE THANG: Run to WillowBrook and back via Orchard Park Elementary. Proof: https://www.strava.com/activities/17574144266

MARY: Might have passed her on the route, not sure.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for Bethel Men’s Shelter THIS THURSDAY! The need is great, the workers are few.

NMM: I articulated the route as starting out towards the QT, but then immediately ran the wrong direction. Nobody said anything. 😥 (Retread and I corrected the route, but come on men!)

When the leader doesn’t do what they said they’d do, other leaders should speak up. Our community needs your voice. Hold each other accountable.

NMM
We are encouraged each year to choose our “one word” – the word that will guide our intentions, hopes, and maybe changes. This year I chose “stand.” There are times I will need to stand up for those without a voice. To stand firm in my beliefs and convictions. To stand out from my peers. But also, to stand down when the battle is not mine to fight. To me, stand represents who I will be when the pressure increases.

I encourage you to find your word – a word that will challenge you to do what you know needs to be done. Let it motivate you to stay the course when life gets hard. It’s a simple exercise that may pay huge dividends.

Aye!

Minnow Party

Lots of people showed up, unfortunately they got me on Q. Original plan was to run with merkins to Riverview elementary school, but with so many pax I decided to stay local. Plan was to run around town with Jack Webb. We began with five merkins and twenty overhead claps. Twelve stops around town increasing the rep counts by one and four respectively. Added some additional exercises (Squats, lunges, calf raises) while we waited for the six to arrive.
Total count: 126 merkins, 504 overhead claps.
we had time for a pairing sprint up the Massey hill.
