Headed out of the grindstone to the road and towards our destination on Orstead St.

Along the mosey we stopped at every stop sign. Merkins at each stop sign, #of letters in street name facing us = numbrr of Merkins.

Arrived at the base of Orstead St. . 77 mi took about 10 with PT at stops. Can be a nice change up hill. Even on a 45 min BD.

Hill repeats on- Acufs Ascent- base of Orstead St to Ceader St.
Hill is .09 mi, 42ft Elv Gain and max grade is 11%. It’s a beast because the grade gets step right in the middle.

5 Hill repeats. Hold 30sec plank when all finished. Rd 3 was a Bernie- 😳 , walk down together and run as soon as we got to bottom. No rest

Mosey back to AO. Every stop sign to Wright Rd stop and Sqauats. Same as Merkins , # = Letters. Once we got onto Vose street we walked one light pole and ran 2-3 light poles. Props to Hydrant for pushing Q to run more . Ran down Voss all way to walk way next to parking lot by Softball feild and playground.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Life gets busy, distracting, challenging, and sometimes not positive. When we face life’s challenges , think of the things you are grateful for. Expressing and accepting gratitude is a positive way to navigate the forest of life.
MOLESKIN:
Aucfs Acent- this hill is named after the legendary country music artist Roy Acuf that lived on Britch St right next to the hill. Q had the opportunity to be Roy’s neighbor growing up in Alcoa. He introduced me to the fiddle and was an awesome part of my childhood.

This hill was where I played as a kid, sledding down in during the blizzard of ‘93. Awesome memories while destroying our legs.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

To avoid committing
relationship malpractice with his wife, the HIM focuses on five points of marital Preparedness:

1. Maintenance = Deceleration

. If you think you are maintaining, you are actually Decelerating because there is no Status Quo . That is the myth of the plateau. Thus, the HIM never thinks of maintaining his marriage. He always focuses on Accelerating it.

2. The Culture is a Jester

While the culture purports to embrace marriage it is actually a hinderance to Acceleration. It breaths truthy-sounding lies like my wife is my best friend, and we try every day to meet each other halfway, and we’re pregnant! Why does our culture resort to Oprah Bombs like these when it comes to marriage? Probably because it doesn’t believe that anything so difficult can possibly be so good. The HIM knows the inverse to be true. Virtue takes work–it is the un-Virtuous act that comes easily and “naturally”.

3. There is no Fifty Yard Line

Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. It is not a football game where husband and wife meet at the fifty yard line for the coin flip. The HIM must drive the ball the full length of the field and stay in his wife’s red zone, regardless of whether she even breaks the huddle. To the Sad Clown focused on balance and fairness, this seems unfair and out-of-balance. Perhaps, but that’s what Acceleration requires when it comes to the M.

4. Your Wife is not Your Best Friend

She is made for a much higher purpose. There is a pedestal in the life of the HIM that is set out for his wife and there is no room on it for his best buddy

Nor is a marriage a joint-venture within which man and wife have equal and identical roles.

5. Joy Trumps Happiness

Happiness is a transitory positive feeling governed by mere external circumstance. Happiness is a full belly–it goes away when you get hungry again.

Joy cares not whether a man’s belly is full or empty. It requires a long view, well past the toils and triumphs of any given day. The HIM is a Joyful man under any and all circumstances because his vision is cast at a point well beyond the day before him. His focus is on the end and beyond.

Anybody can stay married on a full belly. But it is within the crucible of hunger where the true bond between man and wife is formed.

Marriage is a Team, not a Community. It requires Proximity and purpose to succeed. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.
