We rucked to Racquetball and up to Weigels hill through the apartments and down 10 Mile Rd and made the loop in Eagle Brook subdivision and back. Well run it back for sure.

COT: talked about weeds, what needs to be cut down and pulled up. What are things and attitudes in your life that need to be cut down and pulled out to make you better?

We also talked about the marvels of modern surgical abilities.

We moved fast, and covered a lot of ground today. We were seeking Halloween Decorations with two specific stops in mind. We were 4 minutes late as a result, and did the COT on the fly during the last half mile.

COT Topic was about my daughter and critical thinking, as she was uncomfortable with a question in school. The paraphrase was something like why do we teach children religion, and the answer was that they are impressionable. She said that made her uncomfortable and we were able to have a great conversation about discernment, wisdom, truth, and religion.

Also 3 runners, Toretto, Mailbox, & Anchorman. 2 Dogs joined the ruckers, and I am sorry for the blurry pic.
