Overcoming Amtrak and Cantore

I left the house really early due to the threat of black ice. On the way, had a train blocking the road. I’m getting #Amtraked. I detour and still arrive 30 minutes early as there was no black ice meaning I got #Cantored. What is going on? Spent some of my #Cantore free time doing a little mileage recon around the track and then I get a text that HB is running late due to his daughter blocking his car in. Then DT texts that he is also getting #Amtraked and will be running about 15 minutes late. Well, we shall overcome so let’s go.

MOLESKINE
The #Cantore/#Amtrak resistance was strong today but both were overcome. The whole idea of this workout was to do something and then run to get you used to what the effect of the mud run will be. And the idea of increasing burpees for Jacob’s ladder is that if there is something that we can’t do during the mud run, we never know what the number of burpees needed will be so might as well prepare for the worst. Good job to push through them.

Announcements:
Sign up for the mud run ending tomorrow
CT and HB on Q for Outland
Thanks to HB for taking us out.
Prayers for Z, DH and TLS
