Introduction
It has been a while since I’ve Q’d mid-week at the Ole Wood, and have never done a RC there, so I thought is was about time. I wanted to repeat a run club I attended at The Ridge that about killed me, where we focused on nothing but Hill Climbs, so after warming up the crew, that is just what we did. Big thanks to Plunger and Foreclosure for pushing me during the EC3 run ahead of time.

Circle of Trust
A violinist played for 45 minutes in the New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist raised about $30 in tips.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theatre, and the seats averaged about $100.
The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued.
There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.
Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it’s telling you where you are isn’t enough!
Go where you are appreciated and valued.
Know Your Worth.
