Well it’s been one year and 219 posts. I can honestly say, looking back, I’m a better man now than I was then. I’ve still got a long way to go, of course…”I keep my spirits high, find happiness by and by, if it takes a lifetime” JI
One of the greatest joys of this past year is watching other guys come out here in the gloom and get better.
In the words of Jack Kerouac, On the Road…
“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
I’ve seen guys come out one or two times and flame out, but there are the guys who seem to find that spark and light up the sky in the early morning gloom. It’s been great to watch.

Mosey to the Playground
Hanging Challenge – This is the second time I’ve done this. The PAX found a bar to hang on for as long as possible. If you drop off then you do Burpees until the last man falls off.
Mosey to the Egg Lawn
Thang 1
This is from my first ever Q. We divided up in two groups and went opposite ways around the track. We sprinted 3 light posts and lunge walked 1 light post all the way around. When we crossed paths with the other group we stopped and did 10 burpees. We did this for one lap
Thang 2
Mosey to the coupon parking lot. This was taken from my first ever post with Nino as Q.
Group 1 did suicide runs with coupon work on the last leg of the run. Man Makers, Coupon Curls, Coupon Skull Crushers, Coupon Bench press, Coupon rows. We focused on getting the negative with copper head reps.
Group 2 did a Mary exercise while Group 1 was doing the suicide and coupon exercise. We did flutter kicks, Gas Pumps, American Hammers, Pickle Pounders, and LBCs
We alternated after each exercise.
We put the coupons away and moseyed back to the starting point.
COT
Announcements – F3 NCAA tournament pool. Saturday CSAUP event at North Posh. Next month convergence and pre ruck 4/20. The pre ruck will be a #ruckclubcallout with a patch to be earned. We’ll do a food drive for Wayside Christian Mission. Stay tuned for more details.
Intentions
I want to thank Tool Time for making it out…one of the originals at my first post. He juggled his schedule around to be there and it really meant a lot.
As always, it was another humbling experience to lead such a fine group of men. Looking forward to many more years and seeing new faces out here getting better.
Huggies out.
