16 Men came to The Ranch on this fine morning to have a slice of Cake Boss rock n roll. After greetings and some Sammy Hagar, I can’t drive 55, we all grabbed our slice (1 square paver stone) and took off for a mosey.

The paver is representative of whatever we are carrying this week. I mention this week because it seems the burdens we carry change from week to week. Marriage, kids, work, anger, time management, etc. and etc. Whatever it is……it needs to be dealt with and not ignored.

The Thang:

Mosey to Springfield Middle School, down around main drive up to front of School for COP. On the way do some karaoke, high knees, butt kickers, backward run to front of flags.

·         SSHs

·         Squats

·         Merkins

·         10 Burpees  for da challenge (Day 1)

·         Imperial Walkers

·         LBCs

·         Some other stuff

Mosey to the back of SFMS and wall sit. Count off in 1’s and 2’s

·         1’s wall sit doing presses with paver

·         2’s Bear Crawl up hill and mosey back with paver

We ran out of time before getting through all the exercises, but the men carried the blocks and pavers all the way back to COT…..good half mile. Excellent work by all!!

We are all carrying something that is keeping us from being the best we can be for Sky Q, M’s, 2.0s community. Whatever it is it needs to be dealt with and not ignored. You got Sky Q and your brothers around you. No excuse to go it alone……address it. Little issues turn into bigger ones…..paver….into the block……don’t think you can control things on your own…..reach out to your support that stands in the Circle with you each morning and leave those burdens at the foot of the cross.

Thanks Backdraft for the Q
