Four of us went out to see just where we might end up. This route cut some corners from the original, and still comes in at 5.5 – but there is no point in running to the lake if you dont run around the lake – come on man! Pinto took us out.

YHC has had a long work/travel week, but was pleased to be reminded of the Q responsibility at Satan’s Hill. While today’s workout was prep for New Years Day convergence, I started to ponder on what drives us to be better. It is different for all of us. We definately push/pull people along our journey.

Who/what will you pull in? How can you positively affect someone who pulls…
