COT
Read PAX a poem by Peter Dale Wimbrow, The Man in the Glass:
“When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day, then go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say, for it isn’t a man’s father, mother or wife whose judgment upon him must pass, the fellow whose verdict counts most in life is the man staring back from the glass, he’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest for he’s with you clear to the end, and you’ve passed the most dangerous difficult test if the man in the glass is your friend, you can fool the whole world down the pathway of years and get pats on the back as you pass, but the final reward will be heartache and tears if you’ve cheated the man in the glass”
Spoke about being accountable to yourself and always sticking to your values, morals and loyalties. Accountability starts with ourselves, we can’t help others in our path until we can look in the mirror and know we haven’t cheated ourselves. Always push yourself and never look back to wish you had done more. If you cheat yourself, you are the one who has to look in the mirror afterwards.
Moleskin
The forward fold continues to be a topic of debate, cadence or no cadence. Not sure myself, so we did both today.
Lots of sounds and smells during 5MOM, that must mean the exercises did their job.
What happens next on a track day after we have already run the track? Apparently, more running.
Bluetooth speaker continues to shock and awe with it’s clairty and projection.
News
Tonight last Tuesday for Third F of the year. Sousa and Slim Shady going, feel free to tag along. They need all the help they can get. During 2021, F3 has committed to one Monday a month. Chubby’s could still use our help every Monday, so if you feel inclined to go on a Monday that isn’t the schedule Monday, please do so.
Tomorrow Co-Q John Doe and Coldplay at Parliament. Thursday, First Q since launch at Legacy. Friday Threeskin and Fissure convergence at Anvil. You don’t want to miss any of these!
