Your MILGA is showing

Leave a comment

What a wonderful day in the MILGAhood. This being my first visit and q to Colosseum, I aimed to disappoint. The workout was this

– poles on the back of the school. increase rep count by 1 at each pole then return to start. Burpee Merkin Squat is taking the fort by storm
– found the only set of accessible steps on the entire west side. The count was however many leaps it took to get to the top by each pax. Average was 3 leaps. Some folks (Bandcamp) were jackasses and took 9. First excersice was burpees, then after everyone went we did dips
– then went to the court for broadjumps as our rep count. average was 4. step ups was the excersice until all pax had jumped
– lunge walk and bear crawl back to cot for 5 minutes of mary

Yes, i made pretty much all of this up as we went. I like to live dangerously like that.

Work from the Bird:
We all need prayers. Its not selfish to ask someone to pray for you. Don’t think you always need to pray for someone else. That’s a great thing, but you need to be right also. Work on that vertical relationship. Gotta get you right so you can help others. I’m asking for prayers for me. Send me all the love you got right now and ask Gods help too. I challenge you all to be bold and pick someone in COT to pray for. Even if they don’t ask for it. I GUARANTEE it will make their entire day having that power.

Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.

NMM: after completing the sweet 16 all pax acknowledged that those exercises would not have been done had we been left to do them our own in isolation. Community matters and today’s FNG came out for that very reason.

The gift F3 represents to each of us is unique. The common element, however, is that we must share it to fulfill the mission of invigorating male community leadership. How we do that is up to each of us.

Thanks for the call, Pauly D. And Welcome to Fartlek.

Honored,
