Seamstress Last Stitch in the Fort

Pax: Badlands, Band Camp, Bones, Bonsai, Cheddah, Cohiba, Fire Marshall Bill, fishstix, Grout, Happy Hour, Hardwood, Jekyll, macgyver, Pusher, Santini, Seamstress, sirtophamhat
Posted In: Minnow Pond

WARMUP: not really the thing to do at Minnow Pond. Come at 0510 if you want a warmup
THE THANG: run, hard.
first stop – 1 merkin, 1 squat
2 merkins, 2 squats
Keep adding each time we stop
often we kept adding reps till the 6 was in. Then we took off again. PAX were advised to mosey when the group left and not worry about completing all the reps. Most hit 4 miles

Macgyver, Bones, and Badlands got out in front of me around mile 2 and Grout eclipsed me after mile 3. I always seem to push myself a little harder when I’m on Q at minnow pond. We have some strong and fast PAX in the Fort.

NMM: The idea was for the PAX to not know how far we were going or when we would stop. And that when we did stop, there’d be work to do. Just like our work lives that take us to new locations….

Seamstress had no idea when he came to FM that he’d be called to move so soon. Nor does he know when he’ll be called away again. Many PAX expressed gratefulness for the impact he had on us and prayers of blessing were offered (are still being offered) for his move to Chattanooga

This is Band Camp reporting for the work-swamped Fire Marshall Bill and the 16 other PAX at minnow pond on 8/4. Looks like y’all ran a zipper and did merkins? This report has not been verified, but I think the tags are accurate

The route – Crossroads 10 Merkins -4 different legs with 4 different exercises. 15 squats top of Hill, 15 Monkey Humpers top hill at 160, 15 dips in front of Bloom, 10 Bomb Jacks Road past COG.

Discussed we need other men in our life for accountability, guidance in work, marriage, raising kids and keeping a balance. Can’t do life alone and plenty of men in the Fort that can provide wisdom of life. Seek out other men!!!

Thanks Jekyll for the opportunity to lead.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Anniversary coming up for the Fort, stuff the bus, Stang Golf and read Newsletter.

COT:prayers for Jekyll recovery, Walker and others recovering. Marriages and kids starting back to school.
