NO SURPRISE NO SHOW

Philippians 3:13-14

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Perseverance is something that is not taught, but always in you deep until your mind recognizes it and your soul understands how to use it for good.

This AO has been challenging lately and my injury has not helped to have people accountable. I’m going to continue my efforts on what I can and understand to do which is to never give up and persevere even if it includes drastic changes for the good.

I Got Q, Babe

Leave a comment

Well its Groundhog Day…again. Why not smash the alarm clock, rise and shine (not fotgetting our booties because its cold outside), and head to Gobbler’s Knob…I mean, The Ranch for some F3 fun? That’s what 4 did this morning. Here’s what we did:

NMM
As you can see, the theme of the day was repeat – just like weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is forced to repeat the same day again and again in Harold Ramis’s 1993 cinematic masterpiece, “Groundhog Day.” Unlike Phil, we didn’t get stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, or burned. We did not rob an armored truck, save a life, get arrested, drive on the railroad tracks, learn piano, learn to ice sculpt, or learn 19th Century French Literature. However, like Connors, repeated the same thing again and again.

Thanks for the effort this morning, fellas. Appreciate you posting in the cold rain and for the mumblechatter. I now know what exercise to call when Band Camp is in attendance. Thanks for the opportunity to Q, Poppins. Always an honor to spend the Gloom with you men, especially Sawdust.

Aye!

Tallawah

Leave a comment

🚨 🚨 🚨
Your Hump Day Gear workout is getting a major makeover!
As of 02/15/23 it will no longer be called SnakePit or at Catawba Ridge High. Moving closer to the west, we’ll be posting at WEP under the new name “TALLAWAH” (pronounced Ta-Lah-Wah).

Tallawah is a Jamaican patois word, derived from the English word “stalwart,” which means strong, powerful, tough. That’s why we get up to workout at 0515, choosing the harder thing. Be prepared to give your best and then some every Wednesday morning.

One more thing, it’s now going to be a gear bootcamp style of an AO. That means more bootcamp integration with the bells. So not only will we be getting stronger, we’ll also be getting faster.

Thank you!
SYITG
