Coming off Gunny’s beatdown last week and the Murderer’s Row of Qs set for this Wednesday, I felt the pressure to bring something terrible to the sandbag faithful of Normandy.  After a shaky start…”what time do we start again?”…the pax headed off to warm up for the beatdown.

Tour of the steps with a few more squats to close out the last few minutes.

As always, a true pleasure to lead such a great group of men…the mumble chatter was light when the Terrible Tens started and stayed that way until the end.  The workout was non-stop and everybody plowed through it even with the awkwardness of some new movements.  Round of announcements, prayers, praise and a thankful COT.  We must never forget how truly blessed we are to be able to work our bodies in this way and especially with such an amazing group of men.  #ISI #HIM
