Answering the Bell at Charlie Foxtrot
QIC: Spamalot
Date: 09/14/19
PAX: Drama Queen (WD), Quiver, Fender (WB), Spamalot
This has been quite a week for YHC. Between running with 80 lbs at VI (thanks Huckleberry!), the Climb to Remember on 9/11, and yesterday’s insane Iron Pax Challenge….YHC was spent. The mere thought of Qing an hour long workout was…frankly, not what I wanted to do last night. But inspired by some Maker’s Mark 46, YHC drew up a plan.
In the nearly 50 years YHC has been on this planet, I have learned a few things. Nothing unique or great insights. Most have been noted by others far smarter or with more insight. But perhaps the single most important lesson I have learned is this: it does not matter how many times you get knocked down. What matters is how many times you get up.
We all get knocked down, or fail. That is what life is all about. How you react after failure is what defines you. Will you sit and feel sorry for yourself? Or will you reflect on what happened and learned from your mistakes?
So, with that in mind…YHC drew up the following for the Pax this morning at Charlie Foxtrot.

NMM
DQ was early, and we were not sure if anyone else would make it. Glad Fender and Quiver made it!
Quiver always looking for extra mileage. We completed 2.23 miles, and after COT, he went looking for another mile. Strong work!
Fender claims to only have one speed when he runs. It is called fast – even in the Chuck Taylors.
Tclaps to DQ for making it. He and YHC survived IronPax yesterday. Wow.
Announcements/Prayer Requests

Get ready – IronPax week 3 will be released tomorrow. Yippee!

Continued prayers for Road Apple and his son. Glad everyone is home.
