Run for the Hills

10 men showed up in the gloom to make themselves and each other stronger. This is the first time YHC has led a workout at this AO, and it is absolutely outstanding. There was a great group of guys, and there are so many options to roll with that 45 minutes just doesn’t seem to be enough time!

The AO almost got even better when we found what appeared to be an awesome gift in the form of 50+ brand new logs stacked neatly at the bottom of the hill we used for hill repeats. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as they were wrapped too tightly.  We’ll find a way to use them next time if they are still there!

Brief Discussion regarding David and Goliath

• David chose to take five stones for his fight with Goliath
  • He had faith in God, but did not want to test him.
  • He was prepared for whatever / whoever else may come after Goliath.
  • He participated in God’s plan for him (rather than remain passive and expect God fight his battle for him).
• As men, we must have faith, but we must also be prepared for the fight at hand (as well as unforeseen circumstances.
