COT
Read Teddy Roosevelt Quote “The Man in the Arena” Full quote can be found on Hacksaw slack page. Tied the quote into the vulnerability it takes sometimes in our lives to be the man in the arena versus the ease of being the critic. In order to grow, we must show vulnerability and also allow others to feel comfortable being vulnerable when interacting with us. Talked about how vulnerability is a sign of courage and not weakness as often perceived. In our everyday lives, we must find ways to step outside of our comfort zone to improve ourselves and our relationships with those around us. Added in how vulnerable everyone was coming out this morning in the rain and running through the puddles. El Chapo added in that he and Sousa neither one could see running the path in the rain and dark so they were vulnerable in that instance but showed courage to speak up and run together to lead each other through the unknown.
Moleskin
Gosh, I feel like there were 20 moleskins in this one. Certainly a memorable day in the gloom.
For starters, on our mosey to begin the workout, we noticed a fish a good 50 yards from the nearby creek swimming in a puddle. We were able to see the fish and was able to take him back to his home without harm. Hence, the DORA was changed to DORY in honor of the Pixar Nemo films.
The path to the circle around the flagpoles is uncrossable after a full day of rain.
“The blind leading the blind” Running in the rain and dark lead to some sight issues for some PAX. They were able to run together and lead each other through without injury.
Halfway through the workout, it sounded like a cannon went off. There was a car accident no more than 50 yards from our exercise spot. Prayers for all of those involved noted in the prayer requests.
