Moleskin: Good to be back starting in the old location after all of the construction. AOQ Milton lead the charge for a 3rd time in a row on Tuesday and delivered a beatdown with a message that I heard loud and clear – someone step and Q! Happy for the chance to lead! I started with a return to the scene of the crime on Tuesday for a quick fakeout on reliving that one with a twist but after one round we returned to the AO for some block work. Speed was on display Thursday at the start and the finish – Hospice gave new meaning to coming in Hot…or is it now coming in Hospice? And we finished with a relay that had teams running in opposite directions around the block. Great work men!

Don’t worry about slowing down, we’re just running over here

Conditions: High 70, clear, HUMID

Humidity: Satan’s thick fart

Warm-Up: Step out of car

The Thang: Modified Alston loops (big and small)

Moleskin: YHC used to run North Maple on Sunday mornings before Nexton Parkway was fully build. I’ll be darned if people aren’t using that road at 0500 on a Monday. Safety is no accident. It was nice to have a big group for my first time back Qing at Tremor in about 3 months. I don’t remember it being that humid last time. Great job putting in some work men. Bellator for the double down (BEAST).

Complete Honesty

Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! (NLT) ( Psalm 32:2 )

 

How is it possible for God to clear us of guilt if we aren’t honest about our guiltiness? Many times we hide our sins from ourselves by failing to recognize them or we hide them from others when we aren’t transparent. This verse tells us we can find joy in our honesty and God will clear us of our brokenness. Please don’t use this to condemn yourself of guilt. Instead, use it to positively embrace transparency in your life. Work towards transparency by sharing your struggles with others. They in turn will see Jesus is your strength.

Moleskin:   Today Bedrock celebrated its 4 birthday.  Actual birthday is 7-14.  The PAX showed up and showed out today.  YHC had been sitting on this Q for a while.  Glad to be given the opportunity to execute it. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman.  Fish N Chips and Chum tried hard to steer the Q off the plan but YHC had the Q juice flowing heavy this morning.  T Claps to Gypsy, City Slicker, Splinter, Double Trouble, Swinger, and Show Me for getting in a little SCS action.  We also had 2 spectators from the IR today.  Major Dad and Hospice enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around the park.  Heal up quick fellas.
