Five men showed up in the gloom for a Monday morning Mettle workout at the Highland Creek Sports Center. The temperature was cool and the humidity was high. You know it’s going to be a good workout when Disaster shows up for Mettle… I believe that’s a first for me, to see him at Mettle. The beatdown went something like this:

– we prayed for each other to be better men, fathers, husbands, sons, and co-workers… for 1st responders and those putting themselves in harms way for our safety. We remembered Mash as he begins Ranger training today.

-It was great being with you men today. Even though YHC was breathing very hard, you still encouraged him to finish strong, and he definitely appreciated it. It makes a difference to encourage your brother.
-YHC noticed that Illuminiti never seems to get winded during a workout… YHC encouraged him to run extra laps or do the exercise double-time… but he just stayed firm and strong. What an animal! But YHC was reminded that this is the guy that runs to and from workouts too… figures =) Respect!
