QOD:
‘Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!’

Moleskin:
- Perfect weather in which to send Floppy Disk off for a few months hiatus as he learns how to use his new and improved shoulder. Good luck tomorrow brother. We’ll all be thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery!
- GORUCK on May 25th in Raleigh – don’t let it become an ‘I wish I had’
- Spartan Sprint in Charlotte on March 23 & 24
- Spring is about to land right on top of our heads, great time to re-engage and EH some of those reluctant souls who didn’t want to come out in the winter.
