One Man to Beat

Drone, we don’t need not stinking Drone… as #KesselRun proved its ability to continue and amazingly grow without our fearless AO leader Drone… whom we did miss dearly while he overcomes the sickness he gained while Super Dadding it over the weekend.  While we did miss the bright white (due to the short shorts) dot in front of us, we found our way through the gloom and worked toward one goal… Get Better

YHC combined recent inspirations from a current book (Do Great Things) and watching Usain Bolt continue to amaze the rest of humanity.  Theme of the morning was You-vs-You: as the only person with the power to prevent us from reaching our goals, the one we lie to most, and he who has the ability to push us past our limits is no other than the man staring at us in the mirror each morning.  YHC tagged this interval beat down as Mesas… picture a high level and consistent for a long distance
