Roughnecks – 1.17.22

Conditions: Clear, high 20s, icy, cold, perfect
PAX: @Night Light@Ginsu(YHC)
QIC- @Night Light & @Ginsu braved the icy roads in their vehicles to throw extra weight on their backs and brave the icy roads by foot.  After apparently climbing/descending a mountain in the first half mile, we were warmed up and continued on a relatively flat ~3 mile jaunt.
After making it back to base camp, we took a few minutes to gather ourselves then proceeded into the main event.

Moleskin:
Repeat of doing the difficult thing.  When we come out in the cold and push ourselves physically, we are pushing the line of what is difficult further away from us.  This translates not only physically (we get stronger and can do more) but also in other aspects of our lives.  When we have a tough situation at home or work, we can reflect on pushing through tough times and seeing that we can get through it.  The difficulty is still there but we build the pattern of overcoming and are stronger for it all around.
Thank you @Night Light for being out there in the gloom with me this morning!  An honor to work alongside you!
Ginsu out.
