49 SSH. Hangin in there like a hair in a biscuit.

The Burpee Buy-In: 50 burpees of 5 minutes, whichever comes first.

Indigenous peoples’ run up to the colisseum. Micro Barkleys with Casey Kasem style burpees and BBS. The numbers keep getting smaller, and the hits keep getting bigger.

Woodpecker sent a letter to the mailbox asking the age old question: how many burpees does it take to perfect the human soul? It’s a good question, and I wish I could take a nap this morning.

COT: You have to live with your mind every day for the rest of your life. Make it a mind you want to live with. You choose what to fill it with.

COT:

Reminder that we are on the Lord’s time and not our own. The Will of God may not be clear to us on our terms, but discernment is a gift.

“We take time, we listen, we wait, we test, we listen some more, we converse, we wait some more, knowing that ultimately discernment is the gift of Gods Spirit.”

COT:
Much post-event discussion about the recent GTE-46 – SEND ME! revolved around the time spent under an 800lb log. Not one man in the entire group quit. Everyone’s DFQ was different. For me, the DFQ started before I signed up. I’d already made the decision that no matter what came along, I was going to finish. I think setting my mind and making that decision so far in advance was a mental preparation for the darkest hours and the toughest challenge. Quitting had already been eliminated as an option about a month before. There are many decisions like this that you may have time beforehand to make the decision so that in the heat of the moment, you’re able to stand tall and DFQ.
