Friday

Friday brought the first real physical training class. Had a 50 minute high intensity work out that incorporated exercises I have not done in a long time or at all. I’ll be feeling that workout tomorrow. We have 4 days of that next week.

After lunch we had the opportunity to hear an outstanding presentation on leadership from former Green Beret, Greg Stube. His story is incredible and the presentation was right on point as he relayed his lessons learned from war and how he overcame severe injury. I was impressed with his humility and desire to pass on such a great message. A couple take aways include:

1. Only a fool doesn’t acknowledge their support group

2. Spend some time trying to put yourself out of business, teach and train those around you

3. Don’t be so about yourself that you forget about your team

4. Be big enough to acknowledge greatness around you

5. Never miss an opportunity to shut your mouth

6. Don’t worry about what you know, be afraid of what you don’t know.

7. Love those around you while they are here

Had some free time after class so I went to the resident laundry room and got my laundry done before the rush. I brought coins but no need, just push the button.

In Celebration of our first week, we headed out to Georgetown to have dinner. Josh, Bill, Tjorvi and I hit Clyde’s. Very cool little town.
