The Greatest Workout of All Time? Yes.

WARMUP: Probably. No one remembers.
THE THANG: A few rounds of 11s, 7s, and other nonsense.
The REAL nonsense, though, came in the form of setting things right in the naming department. Sadly, in only 45 minutes, I couldn’t get to everyone, but I will tell you the ones I DID get to…
– is now Kerrigan
– is now Insertion Point
– is now Father Time
– is now Mama’s Boy
– is now French Tip
– is now Tickle Me Ebenezer
– is now Agent My Pleasure
– is now Dumpster Juice
– is now Dumpster Juice II: The Revenge of Dumpster Juice
– is now Stateline Vapes
– is now Gender Confusion
– is now Backward Flush/Dude Wipes
– is now Dementia
– is now Halfway
– is now White Boots, and
– is now Twin Peaks

For more on WHY these Pax got new names, you’ll have to ask them, because I only vaguely remember…

This is why you shouldn’t miss when YHC is the Q. NOTHING but good times.

MARY: No chicks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: The 5th Core Principle.

NMM
The humidity was as high as the spirits this morning as we endured Wisdom by Walker and a couple solid bar jokes. I hope today’s workout was the hardest thing we do today, but most likely it won’t be. Maybe it’s a past due Honey-do list or a hard conversation with the M. When whatever that thing is manifests today or this week, I encourage you to attack it with the same vigor you attacked today’s beatdown. Do the hard thing today instead of letting it eat at you for weeks. You got this!
