It was a wet morning in the fort but the dry humerus chatter kept us warm. A quick warmup and we were off.
Thang: 50 reps of an exercise and then run across the parking lot and nur back. We did this 10 times. It was glorious.
Jwow

NMM: From Dark Helmet:
Here's what I will tell you, no one was a huge fan of the wounded dogs but the hill sprints on TCD Hill were the real crowd pleaser…total shutdown of mumblechatter and several bodily functions. We were also treated to a number of PAX sightings as we went. I recall Shady, Pauly D, Tesh and Spike making a pass through. They looked miserable. That's good training for BRR, which is at least 72% misery. The rest is a loose emulsion of running and fellowship.
MARY: Worked in throughout.

COT: There are a lot of things going well, but there are a lot of challenges around The Fort. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Reach out to a man and share burdens. As has been said before: A burden shared is half the burden, a joy shared is twice the joy.

The Thang: The Murph… cuz it’s Monday…
NMM: If sweat was dollar bills, @U014K6EAUFM could stop stripping. @U090MEQJQBW admitted that the only part he liked was the mile runs, but relented that doing a pull-up or pushup now and again probably wouldn't kill him or his T-Count. Strange how he looked straight at @U5DKASDQU when he said that, but hey… I’m not here to judge. We just about have @U05K5D10AG6 convinced to activate the FSD on his Tesla so he can nap on the way home from these things. @U08N6B7B3EF came back to the gloom with his terrible foot, and he was swinging (a kettlebell) like the Baxter King of Pineapples instead of running. I tried to get the name-o-rama done OYO, but I couldn't get anyone's age right. @U0106CCEJ6L wants me to get a job at Carowinds so he can come win giant stuffed animals due to my inability to guess ages or weights (which will be my trick for next week).
All in all, a fabulous morning. It's good to choose the harder way. It's usually the right answer.
