K.I.S.S

THE SCENE: 70and humidity was still high!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Mosey to the valley of death. Some Hamstring scoops, quad stretchers, frankenstines and LBAC on the way.
THA-THANG:
Thang 1- this was kind of a Cooper but not really .

Pax started at the base of No Mercy Hill and Spaghetti Hill. Pax did 10 reps of the following exercises: Burpees, Squats and Merkins.

We then ran from the base to the top of No Mercy Hill and then down and back up Spaghetti hill to the next check point and then back to the valley. Repeat for time

Total distance of the run was about .30 miles. Goal was to complete 10 rounds. Most pax got about 4 -5 rounds done. Q called an autoball and told the pax to cut reps down to the corresponding reps for rounds if this had been a ladder i.e if you were on round 4 you started round 4 with 6 reps of all exercises and then moved to 5,4,3,2,1.

Pinniocio and Q decided that a weighed vest was a good idea. While we got that butt kick we also realized we need to give Walt one or a restrictor plate!

We went about 30 min then headed back to the AO. One the way back we had a stretch of road with lots of light post. Pax Bernie from one light post to the next than switched back to run and back and forth for the stretch of road. A wagon wheel was needed because Walt again was blowing us all away.

When we got to the AO we started to do two walking lunge’s ( one on each leg) and a squat till the Q told the pax to finish with a run into the grindstone

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The world is shifting, we can see it and based on historical or biblically context we are seeing a changing world. In times of change strong virtuous leaders are born. Regardless of what you think of the direction of the world its clear that virtuous men will be needed to stand up and lead. Ask yourself what is that line for you? What will you be willing to make sacrifices for? Leaders don’t put their head down, they don’t take a knee and they don’t shy away from challenges.
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My family recently recovered from Covid and were fortunate to have mild symptoms.  I did lose my taste completely for over a week.  Before I got Covid, I heard about this symptom and didn’t think too much of it because I’ve lost my taste and smell when I’ve been sick with sinus issues before.  This was a different experience.  I felt completely normal but could taste or smell even a hint.  I even tested by drinking straight lemon juice and the ultimate test, white vinegar.  I also made my wife try them (she still had her taste/smell) for kicks.  After a week I really started missing the taste of food and was ready for it to return, although I was super grateful this was my worst symptom.  Reflecting on the experience during the time made me think about how many other things we take for granted in our every day lives that we would miss dearly if taken away from us.  Covid has take so much from so many people!  Don’t wait until you lose things to reflect on how much you cherish them.  Take time to be grateful for what you have and thank God for blessing you with those things and especially for giving us the sense of taste!

Mathew 7-7:8

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

First ask yourself what you really want in life, or what am I doing right now that is really screwing things up.  I think if you ask that question seriously the answer is easy.  So, take that a step further and imagine your life, manifested in the best way possible.  Imagine the life you want for someone that you care for.  What does that look like?  If you’re like me these answers are probably not the ones want, but at the least they are what you need.  How do you get to thing you seeketh?  Well, that depends on you.  You must first knock on the door before it can be opened.
