Everyone has a mountain to climb

Everyone has a mountain to climb. We all have our own struggles and challenges. The second F is for fellowship. While I may be going through something hard, somebody else out here may have experience and insight that can help. And if nothing else, a sympathetic ear. It starts with fitness but it is so much more. That was the theme this morning with 13 in the gloom at the Goat. After a warm up, we moseyed across Goat Island, bear crawling the first bridge and lunge walking across the second. We ran a triple nickel across the back parking lot, Mountain climbers and American hammers. Then we circled up for a Merkin Mountain and with a group of 13 it had all of our shoulders feeling the burn. We moseyed back across Goat Island completing a Route 78 (that’s an extra light pole at the end) with Bobby Hurleys. In the top parking lot we did 11’s, Mike Tysons and Big boys. We circled up again for a dealers choice – each pax takes a turn calling out an exercise for everyone else to do during the time it takes them to bear crawl around the outside of the circle back to their spot. Back to the flag and one more burpee to call time. We said a pledge and had the following announcements (Extinction run 3/4 09:00 open to all, sign up with BOS, Community foundation run, 4 teams available details on Slack, 2nd F lunch next Tuesday 2/21 at Venecia Italian Gastonia) and prayer requests (Tooth Fairy’s daughter and work assignment, Turtleman, Huckleberry, Wirenut’s family, Eh Y’all’s friend in car wreck, F3 teams traveling for Dam to Dam relay on Saturday).

Honor to lead.
