YHC was not paying attention to the time and was called out on it so I Omaha what we were doing and headed to COT.

COT & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Notably we held CSPAN style discussion around the circle on what are we struggling with. It’s important to note that as we went around with each Pax’s voicing their struggles we all related to every one of those aspects. Guys we are not alone and it’s much easier to go this journey through life is undoubtedly more manageable when we stand together rather than facing it in isolation.” I implore you to be more vulnerable in COT. Prayers and Praises.

It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

Broga – mumblechatter significant here.

THE THANG:
Moseyed to the pullup bars. All planked while we two waterfalls of 5 pull ups each. The weather had been nice, but all of the hot air spilling out of the PAX had changed the local conditions. Shirts became optional.

Moseyed around the ball fields and down Tara Tea Drive. Partnered up and did a DORA, with NUR up the hill for the first half and then running the second half. Exercises were:
100 Merkins
200 Overhead Claps
300 LBCs
One last run up the hill. Toy Soldiers and slow Lunges down Windward Drive. Mosey to ball fields.

The mumblechatter was off the charts through the 2nd Half. I can’t recall all of it, but the laughter hurt as much as the 220 American Hammers…. and the ant bites.
