7 true Block Party faithful posted for pain with a mystery Q.  The tweets went out Mon eve seeking insights and previews, and the pax were repaid with silence.  Two reasons — YHC has dropped Twitter off the phone for Lent AND YHC had failed to score a Q for this rodeo.  So, it was YHC on tap with a little help from the pax on the message for the day.  One FNG along for the ride, so full Disclaimer was announced and then the puck was dropped.

The Thang

Extended warm-up session using Drill Bit format with a mosey to each post around WEP and 3-5 exercises at each stop.

Mosey to the playground at whatever pace you want and plank up.

Partner up for next series, which included Partner 1 doing exercise while Partner 2 runs lap around playground.  #Flapjack.  Rest break after each sequence was filled with one of the pax sharing his personal views on who/where/how he seeks WISDOM.

Finish off w/Fellini leading final two exercises as test run for his VQ at Patriot 3/25/17.

Run home

Thank you to the Block Party regulars for posting despite the unannounced Q.  We now know who the diehards are.  Appreciate your loyalty!

Welcome to FNG/Nemo!  With pressure from WWL to post at WWL’s Thursday Q at The Ranch, Nemo decided he need a preview…perhaps he could get the Merlot Splash out of the way without his Duke Energy colleague as a witness.  Wise beyond his years!  He had no problem digesting this workout.  He even shared from the heart during the Wisdom session at the playground.  Great to have you on board for the ride at Block Party!

Shout out to Fellini who is tackling (by now he has tackled given the late posting of this BB) his VQ at Patriot.  He always offers great words in COT…thrilled to see him stepping into the center of the circle to share his brand of leadership.

Workout today was P200 friendly.  YHC turned out to be only pax running P200, so it ended up being a bit self-serving.

Quote of the day:
YHC to Nemo: What do you do for fitness?  Do you run?
Nemo: No, I am not a runner.
YHC: So I guess you are not doing P200 then.
Nemo: I did Hood to Coast

Message today was focused on the monthly theme of WISDOM.  For me, wisdom never comes unless I stop talking, shut out the ceaseless chatter in my head and truly LISTEN.  So the pax listened to each other share their perspective on the topic.  To sum it up, what I heard was that to gain wisdom you have to humble yourself to listen to other people, especially people different than yourself, and including people of all stripes from 6-year olds to criminals.  Glad I shut up for this one.

Thanks for joining, gents.  Always an honor.  Until next time…
