Look at that Hill

Ran around lots of string of pearls.

Tried to climb every hill possible in a reverse bear crawl

Worked a good deal on side lunges, and moving around with ease, finished with a Jack Webb that the brothers tried to skip, but joined us eventually

Always an honor to lead a group of men I respect so much.

Stop and go light or Traffic signal?

Fact: the weinke went through the washing machine as soon as I got home, it did not make it to the dryer

Fact: <@UGU3XR5RP> thought <@U5CVD8D7V> was going to be at The Fort. He was disappointed that DH did not show, he was also very disappointed that I was on Q. 100% True.

Fact: this Q is old, I left it all on the field and was sore for 2 days, but was still only 28% of Band Camp

We toured Fort Mill:
-lot across from Vet park
-The Print Shop parking lot (was hoping for a morning brew, but no go)
-Church of God parking lot
-First Baptist parking lot
-St Johns UMC parking lot
-the wall by Kimballs
-Vet Park parking lot
-back to COT

most stops were 1 exercise, various transportation across the lot, 1-2 exercise, back across, 1-2-3 exercise

We did a Jonah Hill at The Church of God

We did a Matt Foley at St John UMC

Wall work and various Jacks at the Kimballs wall

Mahktar N’Diayes were included at one stop

Bear Crawls, Crawl Bears, Crab Walks, etc

Band Camp, Cyclops and JWOW led the way. Fitness levels that I will never realize.

<@U6AS1MBPG> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated for an hour, and ran back with 2-50lb sand bags, backwards in the snow. Beast.
<@U5RTPS4M8> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated (ribbon TBD) and ran back
Twisty, Bass and Fogerty dressed like a stop and go light stopped in

Looks like we made it,

NMM:
Asked each guy to share a bit about their failures. So, many of them shared a regret…something they viewed as a failure that like mising an opportunity. Some shared some pretty epic failures and how they’ve changed because of that.

We don’t necessarily have to regret something for it to be a failure. Personally, I want to try to fail better and often. I wanna dream big, and go big. If it blows up right in my face, hopefully I can learn something for my next big attempt. Shady once told me to fail forward. I like that.

We can’t be afraid to take chances. How are you putting yourself at risk for failure? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is it neither but thinking makes it so? (That’s a reference to Hamlet….look it up.) How can we strive to attempt things in ways that leads to good things even when we fail?

This is the kinda stuff I think about. Sometimes a lot. Often in a circular fashion. You’re welcome…or not.

The workout was hard, in the rain, and we went in a giant circle, twice.
