God stole the Q

The message was given by the weatherman  that the rain would be in town. Freight reached out to everyone on Slack about an early EC opportunity. 8:80 pace. I was trying to join, but my gut had other plans.

I really didn’t want to go knowing that it might be a rain shortened workout, depending on lightning. It also made it hard to plan a workout. Not knowing where to go in the event of lightning, I decided to do the Mental Battle WOD again. This would keep us close to our vehicles and its a solid workout. One PAX wasn’t to happy about this decision, however, I didn’t have a better choice.

PAX rolling in and the runners all back from EC, we gathered up and got started. Warmed up for a few minutes and began the workout with a dark cloud looming. On our first of four rounds, the rain started. It was a cold, cut to the bone, chilling rain. As we were running back to the middle station a bright bolt of lightning hit a tree in front of us. Everybody but one found their vehicles quickly! I look up and Freight is on his way up to the first station. I thought he was going to continue the workout, but I quickly saw that he was getting the cone and sheets. As he came to my truck to hands me the stuff he asked, Were you just gonna leave it out there? I replied, YES! Shortly after, the PAX called it and left for breakfast. I waited for the lightning to ease up so I can gather cones. At breakfast I learned that Freight wrote on his STRAVA workout that God stole the Q.

A lot of things ran through my head on and at this workout. I learned that it doesn’t matter. Sometimes it just a bunch of crap when the devil tries to sink in. I often have to steer my focus back toward Christ and regroup. I often have to remind myself that God has me right where he wants me. Thank you guys for coming out and thank you Wirenut for giving me the opportunity to lead.
