Why did the Frog cross 160?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Ruck up!
THE THANG:
We left Kinsgley, heading south across 160, in the darkness of the gloom. Our goal was to check on those PAX loafing at The Coach’s Box. Very little traffic this early in the morning, so no troubles crossing. Lots of chatter about the recent Aaron Rodgers injury… could we match his snap count in miles this morning?
We had a great pace down Munn Rd, crossing to get onto FMHS property. Stopped in the student lot to do some exercises IC: Squats, Merkins, Shoulder Press. Ruck Up and continue.
Witnessed some loafing at the Coach’s Box. I guess that’s what happens when Cyclops is DR.
Touched HWY 21 and made the 180.
Stopped at the Gym for a few more exercises OYO: Step Ups and Dips on the benches. Ruck Up!
Good pace back across the parking lots and up the most underrated hill in The Fort by the football stadium.
Sugarbug and Shady began reminiscing of Michigan, it was too dark to tell if any tears were shed. Perhaps YHC will visit one day.
Stopped in the bank parking lot for a few more exercises IC: Squats, Up Right Rows and Shoulder press.
Safely made it back across 160. Made a small lap around the front of Kingsley and back to CoT. All PAX made it 3miles.
Perhaps Aaron Rodgers should ruck during his rehab?
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Were made.
COT: Stays in CoT.

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.

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.
