We ran 3.5 mile – 4.5 miles. Jackson St down to Harris up the trail to WEP. Head back or loop to main St and then back.
COT: prayers lifted.
WARMUP: Discussed the route, got a head count. It was… poorly understood.
THE THANG: Old Kingsley loop over to Bob Jones stadium for some hill repeats, then back through the old Kingsley loop for 2.5 miles and 20 minutes of hills.

COT: Bass-O went off the beaten path and was MIA until Vuvu went fishing and came back just in time for Boss Hogg closing us out in prayer.
We ran Kingsley loops.
Did some announcements and lifted up a few in prayer – including ourselves as we desire to be slower to speak and anger and quicker to listen.

Disclaimer included the option of rucking or running on your own as is sometimes the norm but meet us back at 0600. The other option was to join me in running to the high school track, or so we thought. We made our way to the the stadium and saw that all access points were locked so we utilized the parking lot instead of the track. It wasn’t as good but it worked.

Fast run around the lot.

Have you not Q’d a workout yet in the Fort?
Have you not Q’d in a while?
Then you may be a perfect candidate for Q School.
Starting the Week of 5/16 we will be hosting 5 separate sessions of Q school throughout the Fort. Each Q school session will give PAX an overview on the fundamentals of being a Q and an intro into a specific type of workout.
It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned PAX or a newcomer these sessions will provide important reminders and tips on how to execute a challenging workout.
What we’ll cover:
This year, for this first time we’ll be offering Q school with Ruck and Run options. This is an awesome opportunity to sharpen skills, learn new skills, and introduce yourself to workouts you haven’t experienced in the past.
The Lineup:
5/16 Sweet the Leg – Running Bootcamp
5/17 Curahee – Ruck
5/18 Clydesdales – Run
5/19 Laces In – Boot Camp
5/20 The Hive – Kettlebell

****March 5th 2022- 7:45am – 8:00am****
Men,
We have officially signed up for the Adopt-A-Highway Litter pick-up program. Our adopted Highway is US21 from Peachstand south to Sutton Rd. (2 miles). We will have a sign installed to promote this section of the highway. We are encouraged to complete 4 pick-ups a year (once a quarter). All supplies will be provided. All we need to do is show up. The SC DOT will come out and pick up our bags along the route after completion.
**Our NEXT Clean-up date is tentatively scheduled for March 5th. (start time ) 7:45 am – 8:00am**. There is no time expectation for participation. Stay as long as needed or head out early. Modify as needed. Plan for 2 hours if you complete the 1-mile loop. We split up into two groups last time and met at the halfway point.
We will begin at the Peachstand (rear of the building) and coordinate. I have 30 vests and all supplies.
Fogerty will be the main contact for this event over the next two years.
Here are some of the logistics:
• Make sure your group knows that in case of bad weather the cleanup will be postponed. Litter collection should never be done in the dark or in bad weather.
• Notify local news media who may have an interest in publicizing your group’s activities. • Remind your group of the appropriate clothing. Long pants and long-sleeved shirts and sturdy shoes help avoid scratches and irritation from poisonous plants. Light or brightly colored clothing will make them easily visible to passing traffic.
• Be sure you have all the materials and supplies you’ll need beforehand, including first aid kits.
• Check with members of your group to be aware of any allergies that might be important (such as bee-stings, etc).
• Work out a plan for what you will do in the event of an emergency. Find out what the quickest route to the hospital is.
• Park vehicles at both ends of the adopted section.
• Volunteers must be at least 13 years old to participate in Adopt-A-Highway cleanups. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult on all Adopt-A-Highway cleanups.
The state does provide adopt-a-highway orange and blue bags. Orange bags are for trash and blue bags are for recyclables if you want to recycle. Your group is also provided with orange safety vests. We do require four pickups every year, usually once every quarter. All that is needed to be done after trash is picked up is to call or email me and I will send one of our crews to pick up the bags.
It is volunteers like you who are going to make a difference by speaking up and doing what they can to help their community. Please let me know If you have any questions, I will be glad to assist you.
Thank you,

The weight-loss challenge for 2022 has been established to create some focus on the Queen. The goal is fellowship, accountability, support, discipline, and a little motivation. Pax will depart on a 90-day journey beginning January 3rd, 2022, and ending on approximately April 2nd or 3rd.
There will be a buy-in and payouts to the top 3 places – determined by “percentage of weight loss”. Uhaul has agreed to be the holder of the buy-in with a tracking spreadsheet created for each pax to help monitor their progress. Good Luck Pax!
T-Claps to Uhaul for assisting with this endeavor!
