5 reasons for the 5 miler. But today ain’t one.
YHC talked with Vandelay last week after Luda and misunderrememberstood the discussion. Turns out the 5 miler is the first Monday not the last Monday. So #pb be damned, the Q and the pax were down to 5tray miles.
Pax aligned and properly disclaimed we set out for a route toward the new Aspire trade school, Monticello neighborhood, the road behind Hopewell, the Habitat neighborhood, and ending with a tour of Tanner’s Creek. All in all we got about 4.6ish miles at a blazing 9:30-9:45 pace.
5 mile moleskin:
- next week we 5 mile it
- YHC can’t get 5 miles in 45 minutes right now anyhow, so the audible was a good one
- Good times seeing Dingo out. #cobains to the rest of the pax as I pretty much monopolized all his time on the run
- Vandelay and Jaw float when they run. I tried to match their stride and quietness for a bit. No way I could do it. You gotta be strong and a good runner to make it look easy like they do.
- Good work by Tantrum. I know you weren’t feeling it but you still came out and pushed through it.
- What I learned today: I hadn’t seen Dingo in forever and it was great to catch up. We could have had another 3 hours and still not fully caught up. But why? Why hadn’t we seen eachother. There are a lot of AOs and options so it makes sense that you may not see someone for a while. But here’s the point — 9 Lives talked to him and asked him to come to Titan. That’s the difference. 9 Lives asks. I never did. Don’t leave your manhood relationships up to gloom-posting-chance. So be a 9 Lives. Be someone who doesn’t sit back passively and talk about what doesn’t happen. Make community happen. Be intentional. Even if a pax you see a lot, still ask to see them more. Iron can’t sharpen iron if one iron keeps themselves locked in the drawer. Iron sharpens iron by engaging iron.
