Stairs? I got your stairs right here…

Leave a comment

The PAX moseyed down to the CoG facility to make use of the tall staircases for a couple sets of 11’s. Mumblechatter was minimal for the first 30 minutes as YHC had consumed more than my Wednesday night allotment of adult beverages…
On the return trip to COT we did discuss summertime memories and how we would give our attention to our 2.0’s effectively.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2nd F Lunch tomorrow at Fort Mill’s finest Chinese/Sushi restaurant, Lee Cafe; Pints & Padres is an awesome opportunity for dads and @barrelaged is really committed to the topic (thanks Travis); and of course, read your newsletter

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
Mosey to picnic area for some 11s with Dips and Derkins. Bobber led the Mumblechatter about some crazy Merkin count from Shady at Bushwood, but nobody listened. Poppins dutifully nodded next to Bobber as any good Site Q would do to make the pax feel welcome.

The Swamp’s last day at Rivergate is Fri 6/10. It moves to McGospel site (TC HT) as of 6/17.

COT: Great energy among the group today! Good to see the strong support for Happy Hour. Can’t wait to see his first full Q! Message today around Hope was aimed at challenging each of us to reflect on where we place our hope — is it your own ability, government, employer, money, your friends, family, etc….they will fail you. They’re all human constructs and thus flawed and faulty. Dig deep and anchor your hope in something/someone outside yourself and the everyday world you see around you. For me, that’s my creator, who loved me and believed in me before I ever took a breath. Find that solid rock that won’t fail you.

Thanks to all, especially Poppins and Happy Hour this morning.

4 Men and a Robotic Bird

Leave a comment

It was a muggy morning in The Fort, as 4 HIM decided to get up 15 minutes earlier than all of the land of milk🥛 and honey 🍯 and accelerate.

We rucked over near Dolce Lusso in Kingsley for some highlights and some stair work. The exercises was crazy eights which ended up being crazy nines. It was 8 Merkins at the bottom of the stairs, then we rucked two flights of stairs and did 1 Overhead Press on the other side of the stairwell. There was a total of 1.5 miles in stair work and a plethora of Merkins and Overhead Presses.

We then rucked around the Kingley loop to cap off the workout.

Back to COT for prayers and praises. 🙏🙏
