YHC rolled into the parking lot at Action Park for a little pre-workout run with Lipton, Yosef and Bret Michaels.  With 60 degree temps and the Quay as a nice back drop it was a nice precursor to the pain I’d prepared to deliver at 5:45.  When we returned the parking lot was already filling up.  We’ve grown dramatically over the last couple weeks and Southern Wake County is really bringing it in numbers now.  15 Pax including 2 FNGs showed for a little Wednesday beat down…

COT- Name’o’rama as stated before our group is growing.  Today we welcomed Protractor he’s an Engineer yeah I know not the most creative of names but when there’s a T-Square already out there where else were we to go?  We also welcomed Coach Sheriff.  This name might need some work too, Coach joins us fresh out of Sheriff School like Sheriff Woody.  Welcome gentlemen!  I look forward to seeing you back in the Gloom soon!

YHC shared about how sometimes when work or life gets hard it’s easy to lose sight of what’s most important.  It’s easy to forget that we’ve got someone with us on this journey there to help us, to talk to and to pray to.  Don’t forget no matter how bad things get God is with us.  Also don’t forget that these other men who are up in the Gloom with you are here for you too.  If you ever need help Prayerful or otherwise don’t be afraid to ask for it.  This is a brotherhood who’s committed to helping one another.

Howard closed us out in Prayer.

It’s always a pleasure to lead you men.  It’s really awesome to see our group growing as it has over the last month.  I’m excited to see what The Good Lord has in store for us.  I hope you all have a great rest of your week and I’ll see you back in the Gloom next week!
