Rucking for Balance

Leave a comment

Paused for the possibility of any late arrivals. Then set off to check on some friends.
Rucked towards FMHS and saw a glimpse of the boys at the <#C055Y70G5QE> ! All the reps were done. Had <@U5CF2DMKK> do a drive by on his way to Q his portion of the 30/30! 2.87 miles of smiles and soul searching.

Struggles of the dancing idiot

Leave a comment

WARMUP: the central question was posed- if we are excited and enthusiastic about trying to make a vision come into reality. (to better serve a group that we identify with and hope to serve), how do we manage our enthusiasm and have realistic expectations for those involved.
THE THANG:
Along with several references to Q-source, the main ideas that emerged included: making sure to filter out unnecessary aspects of the vision(s) (to better concentrate, and focus energies on what is most important), to regularly and deliberately engage in reflective practices (to better learn from mistakes, and help chart future courses),
And above all, have faith that progress will happen in God‘s time, and not necessarily our own.

Bury those burdens

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Standing at start waiting for Pusher to get his act together
THE THANG: We completed a holiday lights ruck through FM. Along the way we shared some low points, burdens, disappointments from 2024 with a fellow pax. We did Gravediggers at the start for the hole to bury those burdens and then Gravediggers again at WEP to cover them up. Lots of spirit and energy throughout from the pax!
MARY: yes, 2 mins at end
ANNOUNCEMENTS: NYD convergence
COT: prayers and praises Cspan style around the group. Coffeeteria afterwards at Humble Cup. A great wrap to Year 1 of Dawn Patrol!

Stick a Fork in 2024

Leave a comment

No FNGs so the disclaimer was light. It was concluded that we could sue <@U01CGBKBQ64> if things went sideways, but we decided against it since he was our gratuitous host this morning.

Quick warmup and we were off. Is was discussed that the toilet water in Australia flushes backwards, so we decided treat The Australian Mountain Climber the same.

Moseyed across 160 for 4 corners of pain. We did 24 reps of the 4 exercises to pay homage to 2024. Then we obviously did 6 laps because 2 + 4 =6. It’s science.

Back to COT for announcements/prayers.
