What a great opportunity to Q down in Carpex at Bounty Hunters this morning. Every time I post here, the PAX of Carpex are so welcoming. My goal is to complete the 2020 Challenge (20 Q’s at 20 different sites in 2020) and have to really get going.
I led a workout (See “The Legs Feed the Wolf”) a few months ago at Pullen Park and wanted to bring that same experience to the PAX of Carpex. I shared the brief story about Thunder Dan (Dantonio Burnette – current NC State Football Strength & Conditioning Coach) and how my favorite quote of his is “The Legs Feed The Wolf”. This quote has also become popular from Coach Herb Brooks, who was popularized in the movie “Miracle”. Even for a guy who can’t ice skate, that movie makes me want to get up and go. After storytime, we got going.

COT – strong message on the continued need to be compassionate versus being numb. If you don’t choose compassion, you’re being numb. Privilege is having the opportunity to be numb.
