Introduction
Let’s run! This will be an out and back. See the map below. The route is simple: take the path east across Heggs to Skyline to Blakely until it ends. It’s 2.2 miles to the end, 4.4 round trip. Do the whole thing or do less, we will leave no man behind.

Out and back
We’re going to take the path east across Heggs to Skyline, follow Skyline until the curve, then make a right on Pond and quick left on Blakely. Take Blakely to the end and head back. Total distance is 4.4 miles. Turn around at 5:38 if we haven’t reached the end. If PAX get back to the AO before 0600, go back and pick up the six. If all PAX are back to the AO before 0600, Daisy pickers, calf raises, and willy mays hays until 0600.
Circle of Trust
From the David Goggins book,”Can’t Hurt Me“.
The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself. You wake up with them, you walk around with them, you go to bed with them, and eventually you act on them. Whether they be good or bad. We are all our own worst haters and doubters because self doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better.
You can’t stop it from blooming in your brain, but you can neutralize it, and all the other external chatter by asking, What if?
Naked Man Moleskin
It was a large group with some very fast runners. We had the warmest morning of the week at a balmy 26 degrees.
