Quickie put an APB out late last night that the Q was open for Talon this morning. YHC picked it up right before bed and hoped that something would come to mind in the middle of the night. During the normal morning routine before heading out the door, YHC came upon this. Hopefully, the other 6 HIMs found it worth their time to post at Talon this morning.

YHC decided to keep is simple this morning with merkins and squats. If YHC is being honest, there was a slightly selfish motive to include merkins with the merkin challenge this month but we also have the next version of the APFT coming up so it’s never too early to work on those merkins. But aside from that, YHC likes BC’s when the exercises are simple and few. It allows us to focus on form as much as possible through out the BC instead of just trying to get it over with.
YHC was honored to be joined by the 6 HIMs who showed up this morning. The mumblechatter was light and YHC couldn’t find his 2.0s speaker in the mess under his bed so, all we had was the sound of nature and the clear skies to keep us company.
YHC shared Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” A simple reminder that He is always in control. No matter who is the President, who is your boss, what valleys you are walking through, He is in control. If we go through the day with that thought in mind, nothing should be discouraging.

Until next time,
