This morning was what I needed. We may not have pushed as hard as we could, but we made time for conversation and laughs. We have what so many men don’t – friends, fellowship, and an outlet that allows for fun before we have to get corporate and serious. We might as well have been middle schoolers in gym glass today. Stories, laughs, a little work, but a lot of fun.
We talked about the joys and perils of the season. We’ve reached the part in the year between Christmas and New Year’s where we’re not sure what day it is. We’ve probably gained a pound or five and we’re starting to adjust to the extra volume of things and noise in our homes.
But, be aware with increased time with loved ones, patience can wear thin and tempers can flare. Step back, take a breath, and watch your tongue. We cannot underestimate the impact we have on our families as present dads.
I encourage you to keep this going through the new year. Fun is the secret ingredient to great fatherhood.
Aye!

ZACHARY TELLIER
Army Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier
Died September 29, 2007 Serving During Operation Enduring Freedom
31, of Charlotte, N.C.; assigned to the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.; died Sept. 29 at Firebase Wilderness, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using small-arms fire.
82nd Airborne paratrooper dies after being shot in Afghanistan
The Associated Press
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — An 82nd Airborne paratrooper who pulled two comrades from a burning vehicle in April has died of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan, military officials said Oct. 1.
Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte was a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, officials said.
In April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne.
Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.
Spc. Larry Spray, who was one of the two paratroopers Tellier rescued, called Tellier “a good friend and a buddy.”
After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said.
“Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”
Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.
The Tellier WOD:

That is the completion of the Tellier WOD.
With the time remaining, grab a cinder block and post up at a pull-up bar.

10 Pull-Ups (Slick, thankfully)
15 Thrusters
20 Curls
Slick, run down the hill to the loop around the playground and back.
NMM: It’s been some time since I’ve not only Q’d at The Honey Badger but also just posted at The Honey Badger. Why? All the excuses like, I can’t do pull-ups like I want to, it’s too far, it’s too early, I’ve got things to do, etc, etc, etc. We all know this is garbage.
The real reason, it’s supposed to be really hard and sometimes I just want easier.
I felt the honor (& pressure) to bring a proper remembrance and beatdown to the PAX this morning; more than I typically feel. Nothing was said by the former Site Q, Spiderman, or the current Site Q, Kaiser, that would illicit that pressure but that self-imposed pressure ain’t all that bad.
Reading through the various WOD’s on http://Wodwell.com, I came across several that would fit the bill, some I know we’ve even completed before. Then, I reread the Tellier and read the writeup of SGT. Zachary D. Tellier.
Imagine being on a patrol then having one of your vehicles run over and detonate a bomb. You then burn your own hands pulling 2 teammates from the fiery wreckage. You then jump up into the turret of a vehicle to return fire in an attempt to protect your team and eliminate the threat. Imagine that. It seems like a far off hypothetical but what if something really difficult is required of you and you don’t have time to weigh the options. What if you just have time to react.
I threw out the comment this morning that if I ever had the opportunity to respond as SGT Tellier did, I hope I would.
Truth is, we never know how we’ll respond to a situation until we’re in that situation. I can also tell you that me choosing to do something easier does no good in preparing me for the possibility.
As much as I like to push sometimes, don’t let me get complacent. Whether that is getting called out for my push-up form on the corner of 160 & 21 or asking me if I’m going to find the bottom of that squat, don’t stop. Or, if I’m going 50% when more is asked and even possible. Don’t stop challenging me. Don’t stop holding me to a standard you know I’m capable of and I’ll do the same for you. Don’t let me feel good about just getting out there in the morning.
Can you do that for me?
MARY: See all the dang sit-ups way up above.
