Moleskin
1. Thanks to Ginsu for the Opportunity to lead this morning. Always fun to punish the PAX on a Saturday morning at WEP.
2. Big Welcome to FNG Todd. aka Dojo. Not one ounce of complaint this morning given the BOP can eat you up and spit you out.
3. Speaking of complaining, thats all Twister did. He was warned yesterday, he posted anyways. And even though he complained the entire time, he DID NOT QUIT!! That’s what makes him a true HIM!!
4. Thought for sure either Ginsu or Peabody was gonna splash this morning given they were up playing cards and drinking bourbon last night. Neither splashed and Ginsu and MacGyver were on Nipplers when time was called. 5-6 more minutes and I think they would’ve finished the BOP. Maybe next time we will skip the warmup and go the full hour.
5. T-claps to both Bolt and Kid Rock. They both posted to Cindy Lou’s Mary Lou’s Black Diamond prior to taking on the BOP.
6. T-claps to Spitz. Rucked in Rucked out.
7. Hollywood. Good Meeting you today and even better having you as my partner.
8. Great conversation with Bolt, Double D, and Deacon at Chicateria. Really got me thinking.
9. The BOP is hard, The BOP is challenging, the BOP at times will make you want to quit. Kind of sounds like life doesn’t it? I did it partner style for a reason. It’s still not any easier or painful. Burpees still suck. Merkins still suck, and what the heck are Nipplers. You are constantly moving. Either running or doing the exercise and yes, after an hour you are thankful its over. Just in life, it isn’t easier just because you have someone there to help out. But I do know this. You will get further along in life with someone there to help you and to encourage you when things are tough and painful. It may be someone in F3. It may be a coworker. it Bay be someone you don’t even know yet. But find that someone that you can turn to when things aren’t going the way you want them to go.
10. There is the other guy you can turn to as well. HIS name is GOD. Zechariah 1:3 – Therefore say to them “thus says the Lord of hosts ‘return to Me’ declares the Lord of hosts, so that I may return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.

Longshanks out!!
