Introduction

Come join YHC as I celebrate another trip around the sun.  The tunes will be blasting, the sweat will be dripping, and the muscles will be quaking.  Bring your coupons and your pavement shoes and get that RSVP in early.  LFG!

I arrived at the AO about 20 minutes early to set up and check out trail conditions.  Of course, the goat, Parks & Rec, was already out getting some early mileage in.  Pax started rolling in, the music was going, and 5:15 hit.  Let’s go!

Circle of Trust

Some of you know that I’ve been  struggling the last few days with the impending passing of an old friend following a cardiac event that cut off oxygen to his brain.  He was to be removed from life support yesterday once his oldest son was able to make it home.  This is just another reminder of how fragile life is, and how we cannot take anything for granted.

As I celebrate another birthday, this hits home even more.  I came across a list of rules to live by some time ago, and I felt it was appropriate to share with the men this morning:

  • Live with intention
  • Listen hard
  • Play with abandon
  • Choose with no regret
  • Do what you love
  • Appreciate your friends
  • Walk to the edge
  • Practice wellness
  • Laugh
  • Continue to learn
  • Live as if this is all there is

We prayed for Bronco’s son, for DJ Sump Pump’s mother, for Rusty’s brother, and for Pistol Annie’s upcoming surgery.  We also prayed that Elway would step up and lead a Q.

Naked Man Moleskin

I cannot thank the 18 HIMs who showed up to celebrate with me this morning.  The mumblechatter was great and it was inspiring to see everyone putting in the work.

I love you guys.

Until next time,

Judge
