THE THANG:
Proverbs 24:5-6
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

A lovely 2.29 mile trek beginning on the blue trail and finishing on the old roadway loop. Excellent mumblechatter throughout. T-Claps to Roadkill ‘s rum buffer! No one lagged, no one lacked. The total trek went 5 past our 06:15 target.

I propose that we end promptly at 0615 wherever we’re at on the trail. We’ll all just walk back to our cars together.

Reflected in Proverbs 24:5-6. Encouraged PAX to face their daily battles together.

PAX: Stubs, FLO, Choo Choo, Legos, Jon King
FNGs: None

WARMUP: “The highest good is like water.”

THE THANG: Rucked across the road to Percy and back. Strava says 3.38km today. Only 22m elevation gain. Easy peasy.

MOLESKINE: Too many spiderwebs in the front row for my taste.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Slack… check it!

COT: I’m another year wiser today and anytime I need some Wisdom I pull out the Tao Te Ching. Here’s my favorite and most meaningful chapter:

Chapter 8
The highest good is like water
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao
In dwelling, be close to the land
In meditation, go deep in the heart
In speech, be true
In ruling, be just
In business, be competent
In action, be aware of the time and season
No Fight
No Blame
