As I sat on my couch last night watching the Penguins outlast the Sharks in a shoot out, I as browsing Twitter and saw a post by Tatanka that he was looking for a substitute Q for the Armory. In my mind, I was already HC to Flightplan to add some miles under my feet in anticipation to the USMC Mud Run. But I felt this calling that I needed to help a Brother out since my opportunities to Q are limited due to work travels. So I quickly accepted the challenge and had to develop my weinke in less than 10 hours…..oh what should I do?? Twitter then started to blow up between Catfish and Maximus as one PAX noted that Maximus was a physical prowess and might need something bigger….

Started with a very poor disclaimer with the intention to discuss an experience I had the other night with my 2.0s (more to come on that). But never got to that since I was soo excited to Q.

COP:
20 SSH
20 IW
15 CSPAN windmills
10 merkins, hold, 5 merkins, hold

10 bombjacks in honor of Catfish
10 burpees with a KB swing in between each

Now for the fun stuff: Pair up
Round 1
Partner 1 does bi-cep curls until Partner 2 runs to/back Shutterfly cul-de-sac, Swap
Round 2 begins immediately after Partner 2 returns: Shoulder Press until partner runs to/back the opposite end of the Forest Hill parking lot, swap
Round 3 begins immediately after Partner 2 returns: Upright row until partner runs to/back the Dialysis center, swap
Round 4 begins immediately after Partner 2 returns: Bent over row until partner runs to/back the end of the funeral home driveway and to the FH dumpster, swap

LBC’s until 6 is back and then mossy to the wall with the KB
Wall sits with shoulder press 2xs
Mossy for 5 burpees with KB swing in between each
Ab Lab for last 2 minutes: Flutter kicks, hold 6″, hello dolly

We ended up running 1.82 miles (Maximus did a little extra credit – as always – so he was probably at 2 miles). So my message that I failed to communicate with at the disclaimer and in COT is that my youngest 2.0 last night was sitting on the couch with me and said, Dad, could you read me a bible verse? Not sure why it hit me hard, but probably since I’m not home every night. I was so proud and honored of this request as my older 2.0 jumped on top of me as well for the reading. To be honest, it has been a tough 2 months traveling to Raleigh 3 days a week and living there and with some house decisions that are weighing on both YHC and the M. It seems lately that I am not clicking right with the M and 2.0. So as I opened up my app to read a verse I didn’t know which one would be calling, but the one that was selected really said a lot:

Psalms 25:1-5 “In you, Lord my GOD, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are GOD my savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”

Prayers out to Destiny for his new adventure in starting up his own company, injured and sick, safe travels for Easter, and Isotope Wife, and remembering the meaning of this weekend.

As always an honor to Q in the Fort
