THE THANG: stolen from Tesh: https://f3thefort.com/2019/10/24/2019-43-minnow-pond/

YHC did change the route so the burpees were done at the Nazarene and then ran back to the location of the bear crawl

Most got 3+ miles

MARY: no, time was of the essence

NMM:
An excerpt from a poem by Amanda Gorman:
Just like a skill or any art,
We cannot possess hope without practicing it.
It is the most fundamental craft we demand of ourselves.

Getting to start my day with the caliber of men in the Fort is one way I practice hope. I’m grateful for it.

Moleskine:
Affectionately now named “The Bermuda Triangle”, as YHC doubled back thinking we lost a pax in the gloom. Come to find out YHC was circling around like a doomed plane whilst said pax was already at COT. FWIW, 5 laps equals 3.6 miles.
Always a pleasure – Solo

Taking responsibility

YHC clipped the Ms car on the way out of the driveway this morning – initial reaction was to find anything and anyone else to blame…. I was running late because no one moved the elf, and I couldn’t find my running shoes because my son “put them away in the garage”, and my M didnt pull all the way up in the driveway.

The truth is I didn’t do the basic things required for the task like taking a walk/look around the car or adequately use my mirrors. These were all completely under my control and I failed.

Human nature is to deflect blame to others, as HIMs we need to resist this urge. We can’t blame other’s for our own complacency.

THE THANG:
run to Allison park stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

once at the park, yhc led IC exercises until the 6 arrived (squats, reverse lunges, sumo squats). Once all PAX arrived, we assumed plank position and performed in cadence shoulder taps (40) and then in cadence squats (30) while each PAX performed one max set of pullups.

ran back to Earthfare stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

used remaining time to do 4 corners at Earthfare with10 reps of sumo squats and wide arm merkins at opposite corners.

couple minutes of Mary to finish.

strong work by all today.
