    Welcome Harry Carry (Down Range from Fort Mills, SC). We took a small tour of the AO for our new friend with a 1 mile run around the AO, a quick visit to the Amphitheater and a stop at the Rusty Cage. Hope to see you back again Harry Carry. Harry Carry shared with us that at one of the Fort Mills AO’s each week they are completing a workout from a book called The Hero Workouts (100 workouts dedicated to fallen soldiers and warriors). Thought that was an interesting idea worth sharing. Speaking of dedicating an AO, have you heard Pickleball is at Bateau for the summer. Come on out!

    NMS: The road ahead is going to be very difficult for us, please keep our family and especially my wife in your prayers. We recently went on our Spring Break trip along my in-laws. The following day after we returned from vacation, my Father-in-law collapsed and passed away. The doctors are stating he had a heart attack. It’s very surreal for us as just a few days ago he was riding bumper cars with his daughter and today we are now planning his memorial service. Just heartbreaking. Thank you for letting me talk about it this morning and share in some of his stories.

A 1 mile start is always a crowd favorite you are just never sure if it’s going to be the full mile or not. Great to have Faceplant back out in the Gloom. Enjoy those little ones now. They grow up way too fast. Hope those boys that went to the Bridge had a great time and made some great connections. Can’t wait to hear about it.

    8 men wondering if the Q sheet was a joke this morning. Wilson reminded everyone that it was April’s Fool. and with that YHC started the Q. Great morning fellas, thanks for letting me lead.
