The Thang
Thang 1
Explained Thang 2 so that we could jump right into it after thang 1. Divided into 2 large groups based on under and over 8 minute mile. Those two groups were split into groups of approximately 7, for 5 total groups. These groups went for an Indian Run from Cafe across far bridge, east to Eagle and back down trail back to Riverwalk Cafe. 0.60 miles. Straight into Thang 2.

Circle of Trust
Just wanted to start by saying how much it means for all of you to show up and support me today. I have gotten to know most of you really well over the past 2.5 months and it has truly been one of the best things to happen in my life. Some examples of HIMs: Spirit and Big Gong getting me out here, Crash going into work late today to be here, and more recently Harbaugh pushing me to start hitting Black Diamonds. I should also thank all of you from my wife, for this hot bod she gets to enjoy.
I love being with you guys in the gloom. And I love walking, or mostly running, with all of you in our journey with Christ. Evangelization isn’t shouting on a street corner on Michigan avenue. It’s like today, when someone is struggling a little or you can seem something in their eyes, and you meet them where they are at and coming along side them. Teach them, encourage them, love them. You each have a special quality that draws me to you and it’s the light of Christ inside of you. My main goal in life is to get to the glory of God in heaven and take as many people with me. My hope, is to get my wife, kids, and those I hold dear to heaven. I love hanging with you guys, but I would especially love hanging all of you in heaven. Aye?
Prayer requests and ended with Our Father prayer.
Naked Man Moleskin
2.5 months ago, I could never have imagine waking up all of these mornings, let alone leading one of the workouts. Being in the middle of a circle of 35 men, who I respect and in many ways aspire to emulate, was humbling and thrilling. As the numbers mounted, I wondered if my plan was good enough to satisfy everyone and give everyone a burner. Your words and notes after meant so much to me.
Augustus Gloop: Thanks for having my 6 and helping to vet the workout, your insight throughout the post was invaluable.
Spirit, Big Gong, Crash, Snakes, and Skilling: Thanks for your daily texts and pushing me to get on the Q sheet.
Overthrow, Limewire, Laimbeer, Dingo, Harbaugh, Radio Flyer, Snots (I’m sure I’m missing some): Hitting Sparrow with you guys after most posts is usually the highlight of the morning.
Babyhands: Thanks for calling me out and showing me how to do a curl all the way down to my quads during my VQ.
Black Diamond boiiis: Thanks for showing up to support me and being patient with me as I continue to try to accelerate to your level.
