Thursdays with Candy

After being abruptly awoken in the early morning hours, once by thunder, then a second time by Smart phone flood alert, YHC thought it prudent to check with the AO Q to make sure the work out was still on.  With confirmation obtained, YHC was able to reach the “event horizon.”  Smart phone chatter during the ride to the AO gave further reassurance that YHC would not be posting alone. However, a brief moment of doubt did arise when YHC arrived 5 minutes prior to start time to an empty parking lot.  But, It did not take long for the Warrior Pax to arrive eager to make a down painment.  6 PAX in total defied the fartsack and the weather to get better and this is how they did it…

Conditions: 67, 87% humidity with 100% rain

disclaimer and prayer

Moleskin:

• Great job by the men who posted and for those that didn’t we pray for your souls. Just kidding.  Truly it is hard to post on a Miserable morning.  But when I muster up the intestinal fortitude I think I get a little bit more out of it,  that is to defy that inner voice that tells me to go back to the fartsack.
• today we concentrated on pounding groups of muscles for a little longer than is normally “comfortable”.  The men stepped up, stayed strong and supported each other through to the end.
• Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  Seize the Day and Glorify him who gives you strength.  Don’t let the burdens of the past cripple you from performing your mission today.
