knowing YHC had the Q and only a few weeks away from the XMAS-Town 5k, it was time to roll up into the gloom with some rare Running at Folsom. Several loyal PAX had signed their time and energy away to promote awareness for those who are physically and mentally disabled. Since this event was about running, I had to call those HIMs out. So I roll into Folsom and there is Gumby awaiting. Not a couple minutes later, here arrive more PAX. There’s Roadie, then……wait……is that Slaw????? Yes, it’s the 80s trunk or treat rock star in the flesh. Then Sparky and Bolt roll in. Ok, after a couple minutes of blabber mouthing, we clock in.

SSH, Don Q, Hillbillies all IC x12, while conversing about the upcoming 5k. YHC reminds PAX about what a 5k consists of and the fact that XMAS town will be all Hill! So without much else on the Q, we mosey to the lower parking lot shelter.

Thang,

line up for 11’s. Ok………merkins here and LBCs up there……….starting with one merkin here and then 10 LBCs there, there being the flag pole at the park entrance. Funny I had already planned to practice that hill in prep for the McAdenville run, but Sparky had pulled into the gas station the night before and I mentioned my Q and he recommended doing it with 11’s. Awesome idea I say. So be it. PAX line up and go, mumble chatter here and there but Slaw was more like “got ya, let’s roll!” Love that guys encouragement! YHC figures the total if finished would equal 4.5 miles. When the clock hit 6:11, PAX had finished up at the lower shelter with 3.1 miles logged.  Recover and return to start. After the short Hill climb Q calls for all you got to finish. Slaw and Gumby were off with Sparky there then YHC with the bum leg throbbing and Slaw pushing me and the 6 to finish it out strong! AYE! Didn’t quite make the whole round of 11s, but got to 3.4 miles. Way to push men!

Announcements, XMAS town 5k and F3 Xmas party , I’m sure you guys know the dates.

Prayers for families, country and our leadership responsibilities by YHC

I just want to say thank you for all you guys who have been such an encouragement to push myself not only in fitness but in life and as a Called Leader in my family and community! Accountability is awesome! And as always, it’s an honor to Q!
