Introduction
A relatively, much welcomed, chilly morning. I got to the AO around 4:45 and just did some warm up laps to get loose and think of how I was humbled on my IPC week 1 attempt yesterday afternoon.
Pax slowly started arriving around 5am and Wet Wipe instructed me to get the running out of the way now before the actual workout. Unfortunately for Wet Wipe that didn’t happen.
I was excited to get started as I’ve been trying to incorporate some new exercises into our playbook. Sometimes it works and sometimes not so much. I hoped for the best.

In an effort to keep Pax honest in HC’ing, we had one very late HC, so we did 5 cheetah burpees. Because why not?

Circle of Trust
I recently gave my father a call after several years of not speaking this Fathers Day. It was difficult to build the courage to do so. While my relationship with him was strong through my first 20+ years of life there had been a lot of strain on the relationship for several reasons. I let Pax know I’m not sure the relationship we will have going forward and doubt it will ever be the same but I felt solid knowing that I called. I did not recommend or encourage Pax to call those that may have become estranged for one reason or another in their lives. Sometimes we need time. I just asked that you do a self reflection and think about why it is that way. Maybe it still isn’t the right time for that call but just give it some thought again. Try to minimize the fear.
We offered prayers for Wet Wipes father in law and all those dealing with 2.0 remote learning whether it be the kids, parents, or teachers.
Ended with an Our Father
Naked Man Moleskin
Great day out there. We definitely had some studly clydesdales who pushed through the running portion without complaint, or maybe I didn’t hear it. I appreciated that. Honestly, wasn’t a lot of chatter, likely because most were catching their breath. Hopefully you all enjoyed the variation as much as I did getting the opportunity to lead. Thanks to all 15 that joined me. We crushed it.
