CONDITIONS: October 2 Perfect; Partly cloudy. Sun rose with us.

12 brave Pax descended into the gloom this morning at the Lincoln Park Zoo Administrative Building for my VQ.

Special Guest visit from @Slaughter who swung over for a pre-beatdown EC 5K this AM. Beautiful morning run on Chicago’s Lakefront path. Couldn’t stay for the beatdown. Maybe next time…

It was great to see a strong showing today! @Sarge was there too but isn’t in the dropdown list of Pax so adding his attendance here.

Once done, Pax moseyed to a pull-up bar. With all Pax in a single line, 2x at a time (one from each side of the line) ran to the bar, did as many pull-ups as possible (up to 10) and returned. Then the next set of two Pax went and so forth. Pax not doing pull-ups were holding plank.

Once done, mosey back to AO for Mary.

COUNTARAMA

COT: Rancid led us out with a Ball of Man prayer. Today’s quote: “A great man is hard on himself. A small man is hard on others.” – Confucius. The take away is to always hold ourselves accountable, do our best work and expect it to be the best and approach others with empathy and understanding.
