COT
Self reflection is all well and good but we are all too good at dismissing what we see. Sucking in our stomach at the mirror, justifying our actions, or dismissing our behavior because of the behavior of others.
We could all improve ourselves greatly if we stop minimizing our failures & shortcomings, and acknowledge them. As a Christian, I believe minimizing my sin comes to easily. James 4:8-9 describe how we should behave when we recognize sin:
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and joy to gloom.”

YHC promised Blackout we wouldn’t lunge the entire workout… He didn’t agree that YHC lived up to his word.
Deep Dish, Blackout and Wuzn’t Me have requested more lunges. The next trip to The Battery for YHC will meet their requirements.
The goal for the beatdown was to give PAX plenty of opportunity for MC. The goal for Abercrombie was to cause all other PAX to hold their breath as long as possible.
Clothespin can lunge faster than he runs.
When YHC and Blackout decided to 5k5a at the last minute, they made a grave error by not inviting the other PAX. Pitchforks and torches were getting prepped.
