3 PAX posted for a post-Super Bowl trip up what was planned to use the three concrete monsters that are unique to Terrapin (more on that later). YHC had other ideas for this workout when signing up for this Q but Mother Nature changed that yesterday, so, it will have to wait until next time. YHC wasn’t really in the mood to get that wet this morning.
Weather – cold and wet but we will not complain since it was above freezing
Disclaimer was given at 5:15 and off we went.

There was more planned that included running the other way up Cambridge to Pascal’s but 6:00 had already arrived so the coupons were returned.

-Wasn’t much mumblechatter to be had, just a lot of hard work. Rainman keeps improving every time he posts, so keep posting. Blu continues to be Blu and is an inspiration.
-As we were walking back from returning the coupons, Blu mentioned something about using the hills is always a “treat”. YHC responded that except for the concrete monster at Shipyard there was nowhere to hill run at any of the other AO’s and that’s when Blu commented that Terrapin had 3 Concrete Monsters, hence the title of the BB.
-Shared this from John 13:34-35, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Jesus is challenging us to love everyone, everyday. It is the barometer by which we can measure our lives as followers of Christ. People are always watching how we live our lives, waiting for us to not show Christ. My 2.0’s are watching how YHC loves my wife and others. People at work are watching how YHC loves them. So, the challenge is to always show Christ by how we love.
Until next time,
