Preamble:

Beautiful morning to shake out all of the soreness from Tuesday's epic Knight Rider BD.  Weather was a perfect 50 degrees and YHC used the time to show off areas of the region that might not have been explored in the past few years.  We moseyed to the lower parking lot for warmups, then through the trails leading to St Francis (made a wrong turn but luckily the trail got us where we needed to go).  Stopped along the way for merkins, squats, air chair for the 6.  Ran through St Francis, admired the new fence they put up by the dumpsters blocking our former cut through, so we doubled back to the bridge, over the river, through the woods and to Stu's house we go.  That actually happyened.  We ran up the big hill, past the practice fields to Crikey's monster truck tires, then headed through the other woods (paging Dr. Rico) and out found our way to the Middle School.  As we're going to the track out back, Stu says, "we should go to my house!".  So we did.  Found a new trail and wound up in his backyard.  Monkey Humpers for any surveillance cameras were a must, so we did them.  Did a quick lap around the track then headed back to North Park.   Moseyed towards HotSauce's pole dancing spot  and found out that we traded the pond at North Park to Mexico.  We get the Gulf of America, they get the Pond of Mexico which happens to be in Milton.  Who knew?   Back through the woods and up the hill to the playground and back to the flag.  We covered 3+ miles with stops along the way for memories and pain stations.

COT:

In COT we talked about doing hard things instead of choosing the easy option.  The story of Esther was my devo for today and she chose to do something tough and needed others around her to accomplish a goal.  We all need community and F3 allows us to push each other to choose the hard route rather than what's easy.
