It was a chilly 30 degrees at 5:30 AM, but that didn’t stop 8 PAX from showing up for a grueling workout. Today marked my 201st day in a row, and it was a special day with my son MagicMike joining us. It’s not every day that a 14-year-old is up for a 5:30 AM workout in freezing temperatures, but MagicMike was all in!
201 days is a lot, I get that but it started by just doing one day a week and then it turned in a few and then it turned into a Warrior Q and then it just kept going. WHY? Why would anyone keep going this much? The flu, vacations, tired, missed my alarm and rushed out the door, you name it, it’s happened during the streak; I mean life is just hard sometimes. There’s been times where I’ve been injured, times where I was running on fumes, so why not just stop? The other day I realized why. EVERY single day I get to start my day with great men who inspire me to be more, reach higher, who humble me, love me, support me (and my family), encourage me, teach me, and more. 6 days a week at F3 and then Sunday morning with my 2 co-pastors at Church. Literally every single day it starts early and with great men. It goes from why not just stop to WHY WOULD I EVER STOP?! What a fortunate life I get to live and I thank you for being on this journey with me. Will it ever stop? Well one day it will but it wasn’t today!

Moleskin:

  1. Uncle Floyd was pushing it hard today, and everyone could feel the burn.
  2. We discovered a new workout area by the middle school, which I’ll be incorporating into future workouts.
  3. Prayers for those who are out of work and in need of support. We should all do our part to look within our networks and help where we can.
  4. Q School this Saturday – come out to improve your skills or share your knowledge with others.
It was a great workout with a solid group of men. We pushed ourselves, encouraged each other, and left no man behind. Aye!
