WARMUP: Remember that the Q does not show up late. He does not show up early. He shows up exactly when he means to. So, despite the time being 5:30:59, the Q had to quell a Gibbler led mutiny. After that, it was quick work with SSH, a bit of a stretch, This and That, and Abe Vagodas.

THE THANG:

Mosey to Circus Maximus and partner up.

The PAX was charged with the following:
– Run 12 laps of Circus Maximus
– 25 Burpees
– 50 SSH (4 count)
– 100 Merkins
– 150 Curls (with coupons from the closest rock pile)
– 100 OHP with coupons
– 50 Weighted Squats
– 25 Man Makers

How and in what order they accomplished their goals was up to them.

Q calls recovery and mosey back to AO

MARY: was AWOL

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Solstice Sunrise Hike is ON! Details to follow.

COT: We all love to be footloose and fancy free. But, as the song goes:

“I don’t mind getting older.
You get smarter when you do.
The burdens that you shoulder
Are what define you. “

Or as Paul says: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

Don’t shy away from the burdens of responsibility. Lean into them. They define us as an instrument of God.
