Introduction
Looking to give Pax a break from IPC week 2 by running 4 miles around the Citadel while pushing to get the most burner for everyone. Well as it turns out YHC was off his game and gassed on the last mile.
Q finally crawled to the flags at 6:03 . Pax are already restless. Can’t blame em. Bad Q.
Lesson learned: if you can’t do it, don’t Q it.

Ran towards the Eola bridge, cross bridge, follow path till we reached Oakhurst St. Turned back to Eola bridge, turned right Waubonsie trail bridge. Hang back at the playground waiting for the six. While waiting performed high knees SSH IC till six is in. Continue to pavilion, hang back, performed Bobby Hurley s till six is in. Continue running till Montgomery Rd, turned left back to the trail. Instructions were given to stop by base of hill.
Q was gassed and pax ended going straight to the flags.
Circle of Trust
Last Sunday I realized that I wasn’t enjoying life in spite of all the good and blessed gifts I’ve been given. It came upon me that my mind set was not living in the present. I am living life either looking at the past or worrying about the future. I forgot that I have to liver now, enjoy the moment, be present, be appreciative and grateful for life.
I resolved to learn to focus only on the present. The past is unchangeable so it is futile to reflect on it unless I look back on it for lessons learned, and so that I won’t repeat the same mistakes. The future is but a result of my action today.
“If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is to be present in the present. Gratefully.” Maya Angelou
Naked Man Moleskin
All runners in then someone said two guys were missing. Both guys are strong runners I thought they must have cut off since Q and Site Q were the six.
They finally pulled in and said they ran back for the six.
