16 pax got out of the fart sac this morning, likely do to the twitter marketing campaign highlighting the two Qs (YHC & Repeat), more and more lately people don’t believe us when we tell them we are not twins, let alone not brothers… But we are Whetstone partners, holding each other accountable, encouraging each other to go deeper into our lives, coaching a Let Me Run team at a title one school in Charlotte and coaching each other as we do this thing called life.

After questioning what CSPAN meant in his text message “see you there”, “FMH track or deck”, “yes” we moseyed to the Watchtower via a new route down Kingsley Park Rd at a nice easy 7:29 pace.

Repeat on Q:
Plant until 6 gets in
Partner up for wheelbarrow merkins (wheelbarrow up deck, every 2 concrete sections 5 merkins, partner carrying the feet does 10 squats) switch partners as needed
At next level, wheelbarrow up the stairs, switch at each level
Rinse and repeat wheelbarrow merkins/squats (this time with 10 merkins/squats, cuz 5 just wasn’t enough)

Hand off to WWL
First up, parking deck suicides, each level of the deck is a suicide mark, 4 levels, 10 merkins at the bottom, 5 burpees at the top, end at the bottom
LBCs until 6 gets in
A WWL Q standard is the Powerskip, so we powerskipped the straightaways, lung walked the down ramp for two level until we reached the basement.
Run up the stairs to get back to the top
Descend the deck, jog the down ramps, backwards run the straightaways

Muster up whatever you have left to get back to your car.

COP until 6 gets in with squats, monkey humpers & merkins. Total mileage was 4.4.

Repeat shared his experience with Whetstone this morning, highlighting the value it can have, the accountability it can bring and impact on our community around us. At first I was skeptical about needing another mentor, I thought to myself, I’m 29 years old, married, no kids, stable job… life isn’t that complicated, how could I even benefit from doing this Whetstone thing…

Man was I ever wrong. I was too prideful to admit my own weaknesses and areas of my life were I simply wasn’t letting the light shine in.

There is no man in our community that would not benefit from having another man hold them accountable, if they are honest with them self.

Prayers for those families and communities impact by hurricane Mathew.

Aye!
WWL & Repeat
