It’s officially humid…

I appreciate the opportunity to lead the men of Base Camp this morning. YHC hadn’t been out to South Charlotte in a few months due to another Monday morning AO starting up right by my neighborhood. It was great to get back out and see what’s changed. Thankfully nothing had. Still a great group of guys and a really great AO as there are so many options…

Not much discussion early on as 10 PAX looked forward to another Monday morning boot camp in 98% humidity. Felt cooler until we actually started moving. Extended disclaimer provided to allow OT to get out of his car and off we went.

Here’s what went down.

Moleskin

• Mumble chatter was light throughout the workout but for whatever reason, I can’t remember a thing that was discussed.
• We did get to share a brief overlap with a few runners who, without a Q in charge, drafted in for about 10 LBCs before deciding they were really just a running AO.
• So much versatility at Base Camp. Appreciate Magoo & Thunder for having me out.

Announcements

• Prayer requests for Thunder Road and his wife Jane. Pray that the Lord places his arms around you both and leads you through the next few weeks.
