The shovel flag awaited YHC and 11 other PAX in the frigid 20 degree gloom. Some inquires were made to the ruck-friendliness of the planned workout and then DISCLAIMER (complete with money-back guarantee)

• This workout what brought to us by LKN. Here’s the deal – we crushed it. Some more fun had to be added. Hopefully if they visit they can keep up.

2 Timothy 1:7 “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

Usually I find a verse to close this out, but this one was front and center in my mind for the past day or so. Our neighbor was broken into.

Twice.

There’s fear of a left-behind device (YHC got volunteered to become a network scanning expert). All of the kids on our street are freaked out – including mine. I had to spend most of the evening on the phone with a technician trying to get something fixed on our alarm system (unsuccessfully).

My stomach was upset.

It’s 20 degrees.

A spirit of fear can hang on to anyone one of those and not take the DRP. Power, love and self-control jumpers the connection, convinces everyone everything is as safe as it was, takes an Imodium, scrawls out a quick winke, gets as much sleep as you can with a bed full of jittery 2.0s, remembers his gloves (but forgets his hat), and posts. That same attitude carries through past 0615 to deal with the thankless task of adulting. The good news is: the worst, most unorganized part of your day is over, fellas.
