In 20° cold and with illness thinning the ranks, four HIMs still showed up for the work. Early in the ruck, YHC shared the Atomic Habits Quote of the Day, “Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way” , a fitting theme given the conditions and the men who answered the call.
We covered 2.8 miles from Einstein Bagels through Bon Air, passing Bon Air Elementary, before looping back via Buford and the shopping plaza. Side streets delivered mailbox lunges and squats, and as we left Bon Air Elementary, rucks went overhead for about half a block.
Near the end of the ruck, YHC took an unplanned spill on the median while juggling maps and traffic. Luckily, nothing was injured except his pride.
The miles passed with plenty of laughs and solid conversation about Dealer’s childhood dog’s high-protein diet, and leadership talk that carried over to Coffeerama afterward.
Announcements: Frozen Triangle February 7, Machine Head’s first VQ this Saturday at Bon Iron. He will be bringing the storm.
