Introduction
This is your PreBlast for Late Start Dark Tower Thursday 8/11 0615!
Join Cousin Eddie for a 0515 burner then stick around for an encore…or
Go and celebrate Uncle Rico at Two Wolves and make the trek over after…I won’t be offended if you are late. OR…
Get an extra hour of sleep in and still come on out for a morning beatdown to get your day started right.
Either way, YHC will be at Dark Tower ready to deliver a beatdown. Bring your coupons and shoes for all terrain! See you soon 
A good group of us hung around after Cousin Eddie’s tour of the AO beatdown. I knew that I had a few PAX coming in from other AO’s so my game plan was to stick close for Thang 1 to allow time for the stragglers. The regular DT lot being closed required some adjusting on the fly, but it all worked out.
Five Core Principles, Disclaimer, Mission Statement, and Credo were recited. Time to warm up.

“Make the time to spend the time with you kids.”
For many, this is the last full week before school starts. By the end of next week, kids will be back to school and it will be back to the ‘grind’. As I have told many of you before, my family took a pretty early family vacation this summer. We went to Hawaii early June. It was about mid to end of July when my M and I realized “hey, we should probably do something else with the kids this summer since school will be starting before you know it!”. So on that day, we decided to take a look at the calendar and make time to spend with the kids during the week. We took them to Centennial Beach, Bears Minicamp, and just a few days ago, Santa’s Village. It was a lot of fun. I am very happy we decided to make the time to be with them. We get so caught up in the normal hussle and bustle of the work life that we forget how fast time flies. Wake up, take the kids to daycare, work, pick the kids up, dinner… rinse and repeat. I encourage all of the guys to try and find some time in the next week or so and spend it with the kids before school starts. Or take a day off and hang out with your M. We all know the weekends get crazy, but if you are able, take that day off of work. Make it special. You won’t regret it.

I text Columbus after the workout and told him that I wanted to punch my own self in the face when I called out Thrusters on top of that hill. I was gassed today. 6 down…3 to go for the final 9-pack of the summer!
As always, I appreciate the support from the guys. This was my LDT VQ! (yea, I know that’s not really a thing).
