COT: I’m thankful for the opportunity to be able to participate in our republic. It’s easy to sometimes be cynical with the state of our politics, but we are blessed with some wonderful freedoms not to be taken for granted. Prayers for our nation, our leaders, and for Infinity’s son Alex as he adjusts at school in Utah.

COT: Shout out to Romeo Suson, father of Hightower who recently passed away. Thanks to the PAX that found this workout that Hightower led recently in honor of Romeo on his birthday, 4-8-1939. We read a few words about the story of him and his wife coming to the US with almost nothing, and managing to bring the rest of the family and raising some pretty great kids. Hope we can all take some inspiration from their perseverence and commitment to family.

THE THANG: 4.38 miles through the Cub Run and London Towne area with a 40# and a 60# sandbag. 1:34 total time; wet leaves and a buried trail cost us a little on our pace, leaving us at 2.8mph average pace.

COT: Isaiah 55:6-8. God calls sinners to repent and come to Him, how much more should we who trust Him seek to run to Him. God’s ways are higher than out ways, and we do not know how we may be used by Him to call others to Himself, so be watchful for opportunities to witness to or encourage others this week.
