9 pax gathered in the gloom.  Moderate cold and pouring rain that would make Noah proud.  I asked the question “why did you come today?”  Answers: “The right thing to do”, “keep a commitment”, “for you(my brothers)”.  Aye.  Indeed it was an easy day to throw in the towel.  Everyone got better today.

I’ve done this Q twice before (atleast) and it ALWAYS delivers.  It’s about endurance and pushing your self. We hit all of the major food groups: burpees(arms, legs), Bomb jacks(legs), Lunge walks(more legs), Carolina Dry Docks( shoulders), Bear Crawl(shoulders), LBC (abs), Ab Lab(more abs), Cardio( each lap was 1/2 mile).

COP: SSH, Squat, IW, Windmill

The Thang:

Start at Bank. Run to bottom of Hill.  5 Burpees.

Run up Hill. 5 Bombjacks.

Run to Wall- Lunge walk length of wall (48) then 10 CDD

Run to Bank- Bear Crawl length of bank then 20 LBC

1 lap includes 1/2 mile run

Finish with 6 MOM as we wait for the #six.

AYG back to COT

NMM:

Great showing of enouragement and grit today.  All got 4 laps (2 miles).  Leaders got in 5(2.5 miles).  El Diablo on his 3 post showing what this thing is about.  Howitzer now in top 1/4 of Pax fitness level. Dont sleep on him.  YHC probably won the VT today but Geronimo may have edged me.  How does one smile and talk through that much pain.  #jumpsoutofairplanes.  I’m tired of typing how fast Fishsticks is.  Gecko challenged on the lead group.  Funhouse got miles before and after.  Spiderman and Dark Helmet discussed Star Wars Theories on their peaceful jaunt.

Big prayers for STH’s mom as she battles cancer a third time

Have a truely wonderful Christmas
