It had been quite a while since stepping on the Williams Park / Lynn Rd Elem grounds, both to Q and post. Considering I live 1 mile from the site, I felt compelled to get back out and lead the workout. Glad I did, as the small yet sturdy PAX of 7 brought various reasons to celebrate and thank God on this day. The clock struck 5:45, disclaimer tossed out — YHC was a bit concerned about Showcase’s shoulder (just sounds so shitty) — and we were off.

Mosey around the back of the school … YHC thought he’d be “cute” and throw in a plank walk on the first rails we came to. The things were about 10 feet apart #Fail.. maybe Overdraft could’ve pulled it off. We collected at the far side of school at the hill and partnered up.

COT
Showcase revealed that he was celebrating his 50th birthday at The Crucible, and he had his 2.0 “Roddy Rod” with him. He said he heard “Respect” in previous COTs and said he couldn’t wait to hear it for himself. RESPECT sir!
Overdraft and M celebrating their 24th anniversary … prayers for a continued strong marriage in year 25!
Prayers for Orwell and family
Orwell took us out
Moleskin
As you just read, celebratory milestones for the PAX on this day. It also made me think of all of the other reasons for celebration with the group we had:
* Orwell, for his love of Christ, F3, and children. You’re an inspiration sir! (and you convinced me to join the Fold, that counts for something)
* Wilson, for always being himself and providing comic relief… that’s always welcome on a #redpill morning
* Papercut, always bringing a positive attitude… and the biggest truck to the site (battle with Cherie Berry)
* For our health, well-being, our Lord & Savior… we have a lot to celebrate everyday
Always a privilege to lead, love every minute of it.
Aye!
