The THANG: Grab a block! Wait, if one is good, two is better. Grab two blocks! And then off we went to the weight room to flip tires. On the way YHC realized that the field drains only slightly better than the Epicenter and so after reaching the tires we also reached the wettest and muddiest areas of the field. Time for an audible. Farmers Carry to the bleachers for some gas pumpers and block work. It was still too wet, so we returned to our nomadic state in search of some less hydro-fortified soil. We found it on the paved walk behind the baseball field.

When we arrived back in the parking lot the 3 runners had returned from their morning jaunt around the Goat Track. YHC believes that they stayed on the Blvd of Broken Dreams for the majority of there frolic.
With the blocks back and the runners heckling Pusher, it was now 0600 and time for the COT.

YHC dropped a brief devotional on not holding things inside and being ready when a brother in need is tired of holding things in.
NakedManMoleskin: Special K posted even with the potential of being infected with the KungFlu from our illustrious BatPolly . Apparently he’s trying to extinguish the life out of F3Greenwood by infecting all the pax that post on the regular. Ask Bueller about being banished to the house on Crystal Lake.
Radar continues to consistently post on the days that fit his schedule. TClaps to making it on the days you can. Him, and Mac&CHeez, and Encinoman have all made some serious strides forward by consistently posting the days that their schedules allow.
Pusher was still feeling the affects of the vaccine shot, or PollyMan’s infection, or he was up all night strategizing how he could get the guys at WallStreetBets to start driving the nonexistent Wingard’s stock prices higher in hopes of not taking losses for slinging pills during a pandemic. Whatever the heck that means?!!?
Tickle set the pace this morning and everyone kinda fell in line. This guy has a fake heart, zero fat, and a pension for shoving swabs up strangers noses. And yet he find the time to keep posting everyday. A ton dudes in the region could make crazy gains if they had half his drive to be the best.
And then there were the runners. Well, two runners and a weightlifter that was conned into a relay race.
YHC was struggling hard this morning. The conditions were there for a really intense effort, but that seemed to elude me with every rep. Still, posting and working even at 3/4 speed is still better than the Hams that hit the snooze button and tons ahead of the delinquents that didn’t even set their alarms. It was an honor and a privilege spending the all too brief moments with the guys this morning. I can’t wait until the next time. See ya in the gloom.
