4 Pax joined YHC in the gloom of The Stand for a tribute to 2017. It has been a year of ups and downs that included some of the best and worst moments ever. It was quite appropriate that YHC’s 85th Q of this year would happen on a day cold enough to test the anyone’s mental toughness as the events of this year have tested mine. Looking back on the year some of the most memorable moments include missing the starting line of the Harbison 50K for the 2nd straight year, the Greenville Goruck event, P200, 3rdF 5K, Cheech’s accident, my son’s car wreck, BRR, Cheech 10K, and lastly being recognized by my F3 brothers at the Christmas party. Those are just the major events that stick in my memory. There have been tons of small moments in my life that will also become part of YHC’s #2017warstories. Some of these will be tucked safely away for they hurt to much to dwell on too often. Others will be embellished upon and brought up in many #humblebrags over the coming years. The take away from all of this is that life is full of ups and downs. These moments that will be remembered for years to come, both good and bad, but they do not define me. The past is in the past and what defines a person is their actions in the present. I pray that these events of 2017 have made me a better person physically, mentally and spiritually. Oh yeah I almost forgot we did workout this morning.
